Gabriel Moreno - Operates at DH in win Moreno served as the designated hitter and went 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Moreno moved to DH for the day, the first game after Lourdes Gurriel (thigh) was placed on the injured list. It behooves manager Torey Lovullo to get Moreno's bat in the lineup as much as possible, given that the catcher is lighting it up at the plate. Saturday's two-hit effort extended a hit streak to nine games, during which Moreno's had multiple hits in seven of them while going 16-for-34 (.471). The hot bat extends even further back, as Moreno hit safely in 27 of his last 30 starts.

Tim Tawa - Back at first base Tawa started at first base and went 0-for-4 in Saturday's 5-3 win over St. Louis.

Impact Tawa was back a first base after defending center field Friday. He's started five of the last six games at first base -- a result of the team designating Pavin Smith for assignment -- but his versatility could be needed over the next several weeks. Two outfielders, Tommy Troy (shoulder) and Lourdes Gurriel (thigh), have landed on the injured list within the last few days.

Brandon Pfaadt - Earns fourth straight win Pfaadt earned the win against the Cardinals on Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks with three strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Impact Pfaadt opened with five scoreless innings before allowing two runs in the sixth, limiting the Cardinals to only five hard-hit balls despite generating just three whiffs on 87 pitches. The 27-year-old has been steady in four games since re-entering the rotation June 30, going 4-0 while completing at least five frames and allowing just five total earned runs over that span. He'll take a 4.58 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 44:18 K:BB across 59 innings this season into a road rematch with St. Louis next week.

Paul Sewald - Earns 23rd save Sewald earned the save in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Cardinals, allowing one run on one hit and no walks with two strikeouts in the ninth inning.

Impact Sewald was called upon to protect a three-run lead in the ninth inning and did so despite surrendering a solo home run to Jimmy Crooks. The 36-year-old has now converted 14 straight save chances dating back to May 17, though he's allowed at least one earned run in six of his past 10 appearances. On the season, he's 23-for-24 in save chances with a 4.58 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 40:9 K:BB across 35.1 innings.

Impact Carrillo will claim a spot on the 40-man roster after posting a 19:3 K:BB in 12.1 shutout innings across his last 10 appearances at Triple-A Reno. He'll remain at Reno for the time being, but he could be called up for his MLB debut later this year if he continues to pitch well in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League.

Adrian Del Castillo - Recalled from Reno The Diamondbacks recalled Del Castillo from Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

Impact After being sent down to Reno on July 6, Del Castillo will now return to the majors as the replacement for Lourdes Gurriel, who landed on the injured list Saturday with an adductor strain. Del Castillo has slashed just .185/.244/.311 across 164 plate appearances with Arizona this season, but he could receive an occasional start at DH or catcher while Gurriel is on the shelf.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. - Lands on injured list The Diamondbacks placed Gurriel on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a strained right adductor.

Impact Gurriel's injury helps to explain why he was left out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals. He'll now be ineligible to play for the D-backs until at least July 28, and the team will fill his roster spot by recalling Adrian Del Castillo from Triple-A Reno.

A.J. Puk - Seeking second opinion Manager Torey Lovullo said Saturday that MRI results on Puk's left shoulder revealed that his shoulder capsule hasn't fully healed, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Impact Puk has been on the injured list all season while recovering from an internal brace procedure he underwent last summer, as well as a shoulder capsule sprain he suffered while pitching in a rehab game. The results of his latest MRI suggest that his stay on the IL is likely to be extended even further, and he's set to visit Dr. Neal ElAttrache within the next couple of days to help determine next steps. An updated timeline for his return could come into focus following his appointment.

Jordan Lawlar - Yet to run at full speed Manager Torey Lovullo said Saturday that Lawlar (hamstring) has been cleared for all baseball activities other than full-speed running, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Lawlar initially landed on the injured list June 20 with a strained right hamstring, so his ability to run at full speed will be a key factor in determining when he can potentially begin a rehab assignment with one of Arizona's minor-league affiliates. He's currently expected to return sometime in late July or early August, though that could be pushed back if he continues to struggle ramping up his running progression.

Ryne Nelson - Nearing throwing program Nelson (elbow) will begin a throwing program Saturday or Sunday, Alex D'Agostino of SI.com reports.

Impact Manager Torey Lovullo said Saturday that Nelson has shown a lot of improvement since landing on the injured list June 19 with a strained right elbow. The team still believes that the right-hander will be able to pitch again for the big club this season, though it's still unclear whether he'll do so as a starter or a reliever. A better idea of his return timeline and expected role should emerge as he clears hurdles in his throwing program.
