Christian Walker - Swats pair of homers Walker went 3-for-5 with one triple, a two-run homer, a solo homer, three additional RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's win over the White Sox.
Impact Walker played a featured role in Arizona's offensive bonanza Tuesday, launching a solo homer in the second and a two-run shot in the sixth while also legging out his second triple of 2023. The first baseman is up to 33 homers with five games left on the schedule, and he's just three more long balls off from tying his career high. Through 153 games, Walker is slashing .265/.340/.510 while striking out at a career-best 19.3 percent clip.

Zach Davies - Roughed up by ChiSox Davies did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk over three innings against the White Sox. He struck out three.
Impact Despite being 10 days removed from his last start due to a postponement, Davies failed to go deeper than three frames Tuesday. He was immediately tagged by Eloy Jimenez for a three-run homer in the first inning, then was hit again by Jimenez in the second inning on an RBI single. Davies has now lasted four or fewer innings in four consecutive outings, a stretch in which he's surrendered at least three runs in every start. The veteran is lined up to make one more start this season, which is expected to come Sunday against the Astros.

Ketel Marte - Enters as pinch hitter Marte (Illness) walked as a pinch hitter in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Yankees.
Impact Marte walked for Jordan Lawlar in the eighth inning, loading the bases before Corbin Carroll drove in two with a single to give Arizona a brief lead that was wiped out in the bottom of the frame. Marte stayed in the game to play second base. He'd been dealing with a stomach bug that made him unavailable Sunday, but Monday's usage suggests he'll return to the starting lineup Tuesday, when Arizona will be in Chicago to start a three-game set with the White Sox.
SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Alek Thomas - Delivers two in loss Thomas went 1-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Yankees.
Impact Thomas delivered two-out, two-run double in the first inning to give Arizona an early lead. The outfielder has scuffled during the month of September, going 13-for-67 (.194) with a .579 OPS, but the inconsistent Thomas has driven in 13 runs over 21 games this month. That's the most RBI he's had in any month this season.
SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Ginkel - Doesn't have it in loss Ginkel (9-1) was tagged with a blown save and the loss to the Yankees on Monday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks. He struck out one.
Impact Ginkel, who had thrown 28 pitches the day before, entered to begin the eighth inning with Arizona clinging to a 4-3. That's normal terrain for Ginkel, who worked the same inning Sunday and has emerged as a reliable setup arm during the second half. Unfortunately for the Diamondbacks and their playoff hunt, he didn't have it Monday. The Yankees loaded the bases on two singles and a walk with one out, before Ginkel walked in the tying run then allowed the winning run on a sacrifice fly. An additional run was charged to him when Everson Pereira greeted Miguel Castro with a single. Ginkel had not allowed a run in eight consecutive outings and sported a 1.82 ERA since the All-Star break entering Monday.

Corbin Carroll - Tallies three hits in loss Carroll went 3-for-5 with a run, an RBI and a stolen base in a loss to the Yankees on Monday.
Impact Carroll once again served as a catalyst out of the leadoff spot for Arizona, as he was the only player on the team with multiple hits in the contest. The rookie phenom came up with a big knock in the top of the eighth inning that plated the go-ahead run for his squad, but the Yankees stormed back with a trio of runs in the bottom of the frame to pull out the win. Carroll is riding a red-hot stretch as he tries to guide Arizona into the postseason. Over his past seven games, he's batting .424 (14-for-33) with a home run, five RBI, eight runs and four thefts.
SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Merrill Kelly - Tosses five frames in no-decision Kelly allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five batters over five innings in a no-decision against the Yankees on Monday.
Impact Kelly got through three scoreless frames before Austin Wells tagged him for a two-run homer in the fourth. Those were the only runs Kelly surrendered, but he departed after five innings having thrown 96 pitches. The right-hander has tossed at least five frames in 28 straight starts after opening the campaign with a 3.2-inning outing against the Dodgers. Kelly is in line for one more start in the regular season, which is tentatively slated to come in Houston this weekend. It could be a huge game and series with both teams currently fighting for a wild-card spot.

Ketel Marte - Out Monday, plans to play Tuesday Marte (illness) is out of the lineup for Monday's series finale against the Yankees, but he said he expects to return to the starting nine for Tuesday's game against the White Sox,...
Impact Marte will hit the bench for the second game in a row while he recovers from a bout with the stomach flu, but he noted Monday that he's feeling better than he did a day earlier. He'll likely go through a workout early Tuesday before the Diamondbacks determine if he's fit to return to the lineup for the series opener in Chicago. With a .991 OPS thus far in September, Marte is doing his part to ensure the Diamondbacks stay in the thick of the National League wild-card race.
SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE
Jace Peterson - On bench Monday Peterson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.
Impact Peterson had started in three of the Diamondbacks' last four matchups with right-handed starting pitchers, but he'll take a seat Monday even with righty Clarke Schmidt taking the hill for the Yankees. Emmanuel Rivera will get the nod at third base in place of Peterson.
SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE
Ketel Marte - Remains out Monday Marte (illness) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.
Impact Marte was a late scratch from Sunday's lineup due to illness and still isn't ready to go for Monday's afternoon tilt. Geraldo Perdomo will again handle second base while Jordan Lawlar starts at shortstop. Gabriel Moreno has been elevated to the two spot in the lineup where Marte usually resides.
SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE
Slade Cecconi - Heads back to Reno The Diamondbacks optioned Cecconi to Triple-A Reno on Monday.
Impact Unless the Diamondbacks place another pitcher on the injured list during the final week of the season and recall him from the minors, Cecconi's 2023 campaign will come to a close. Over multiple stints with the big club this season, Cecconi covered 27 innings over seven appearances (four starts), pitching to a 4.33 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB.
SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE
Miguel Castro - Back from paternity list The Diamondbacks reinstated Castro (personal) from the paternity list Monday.
Impact Arizona optioned right-hander Slade Cecconi to Triple-A Reno to clear room on the 28-man active roster for Castro, who spent the maximum three days away from the team following the birth of his child. Castro, who has posted a 1.64 ERA and 1.27 WHIP over his last 14 appearances, should step back into a middle relief or setup role for the final week of the regular season.
SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE
Mark Melancon - Starts rehab assignment Melancon (shoulder) allowed three runs in two-thirds of an inning Sunday in his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Reno.
Impact This was the first game appearance in 2023 for Melancon, who has been out all season after being diagnosed with a subscapularis strain in his right shoulder back in March. It wasn't an encouraging first performance for the veteran reliever, but he's still hoping to show the Diamondbacks he's ready to rejoin their bullpen before the end of the week.
