Arizona Diamondbacks News Page 5 - MLB

A.J. Puk - Out for season Manager Torey Lovullo said Friday that Puk (elbow/shoulder) will remain shut down for the remainder of the season, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Puk suffered a shoulder capsule sprain while pitching in a rehab game in June, and MRI results revealed in July that he still hasn't fully recovered from the injury. After seeking out a second opinion, the left-hander is now officially set to miss the entire 2026 campaign. Puk is set to become a free agent this coming offseason and will shift his focus toward getting healthy for the start of 2027.

Kade Strowd - Recalled from Triple-A The Diamondbacks recalled Strowd from Triple-A Reno on Friday.

Impact Strowd will rejoin the major-league roster for the first time in two months to give the Diamondbacks some extra bullpen depth following the demotion of Kohl Drake. Strowd has given up 15 runs in 15.2 innings at Triple-A since he last appeared in an MLB game, so he'll almost certainly be limited to low-leverage opportunities while with Arizona.

Kohl Drake - Sent back to Reno The Diamondbacks optioned Drake to Triple-A Reno on Friday.

Impact After giving up three runs in just 3.2 innings during Thursday's loss, bringing his ERA up to 5.40 through 16.2 innings, Drake will now lose his place in Arizona's rotation. Kade Strowd will come up from Reno in a corresponding move to add to the D-backs' bullpen depth while the team sorts out its rotation plans.

Gabriel Moreno - Delivers lone run in loss Moreno went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Padres.

Impact Moreno continued a second-half RBI binge when he singled home Arizona's lone run in the third inning. He's plated runners in 14 of 18 contests since the All-Star break, compiling 18 RBI during that stretch. Moreno is up to 50 RBI through 87 contests this season, tying a career high he set over 111 games in 2023.

Geraldo Perdomo - Shifts to leadoff Perdomo batted leadoff and went 0-for-4 in Thursday's 5-1 loss to San Diego.

Impact Perdomo was the latest Diamondback to hit atop the order. What was once the purview of Ketel Marte, the leadoff spot has also been handled by Corbin Carroll, Lars Nootbaar and now Perdomo in recent weeks. Prior to the game, Arizona manager Torey Lovullo indicated he's playing around with the top half of the lineup, per Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. Perdomo had a .382 on-base percentage in the second half prior to Thursday's contest.

Kohl Drake - Tagged for first MLB loss Drake (0-1) took the loss against San Diego on Thursday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out one batter over 3.2 innings.

Impact Though he walked only one batter, Drake threw just 46 of 82 pitches for strikes. Three of the six hits the rookie southpaw allowed were doubles, and he didn't miss many bats, recording only three whiffs and one strikeout. Drake logged five innings in his first MLB start July 21 against the A's, but since then each of his three outings has lasted four frames or less. Michael Soroka (glute) recently kicked off a rehab assignment, and Drake is currently the most likely Arizona hurler to be the odd man out of the rotation when Soroka is ready to return.

Dennis Santana - Nets MiLB deal from Arizona The Diamondbacks signed Santana to a minor-league contract Wednesday.

Impact Santana was cut loose by the Pirates in July after collecting a 6.05 ERA and 37:21 K:BB over 41.2 innings. Whether the right-hander is able to rediscover his form from 2025 when he posted a 2.18 ERA and 0.87 WHIP with 16 saves is very much in question, but it's a no-risk move with moderate upside by Arizona.

Lars Nootbaar - Moves to LF, leadoff in win Nootbaar started in left field and went 1-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored as the leadoff batter in Wednesday's 10-4 win over the Padres.

Impact Nootbaar was moved to left field in his second game in a Diamondbacks uniform after serving as the designated hitter Tuesday. He also took over the leadoff spot for a resting Ketel Marte. Nootbaar has extensive experience atop the order, having been deployed there 185 times in his career with the Cardinals. Marte remains the primary leadoff hitter for Arizona, but Nootbaar carries the traits a team seeks in the role. He's below league average in Chase percentage while consistently above average in BB percentage.

Jordan Lawlar - Swipes bag on rehab Lawlar (hamstring) served as the designated hitter and went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored for Double-A Amarillo on Wednesday.

Impact Lawlar, who played six innings in center field Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment, followed up as the DH a day later. He showed that his injured hamstring was not an issue in the sixth inning when he stole second base and scored the game-tying run on single. Beyond these two games with Amarillo, the Diamondbacks haven't mapped out a return path for Lawlar.
