Jace Peterson - Heads to bench against southpaw Peterson is not in Thursday's lineup against the Padres.
Ketel Marte - Out of Thursday's lineup Marte is not in Thursday's lineup against the Padres.
Impact Marte is hitting .151 with two home runs in 53 at-bats this month. Arizona will deploy both of its shortstops, with Geraldo Perdomo manning the keystone.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. - Out Thursday with hip issue Gurriel (hip) is not in Thursday's lineup against the Padres.
Impact He exited Wednesday's game with a hip contusion, and given that the Diamondbacks are facing lefty Rich Hill, Gurriel's absence suggests his injury is still bothering him. Tommy Pham gets the start in left field and Kyle Lewis starts at designated hitter.

Nolan Jones - Pops 12th home Jones went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and walk Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.
Impact Jones has struck out at a 46.8 clip across his last 12 starts, though he's still flashed power by blasting three home runs in that span. While his results have been inconsistent, his playing time has been steady as he's started 15 consecutive games -- all of which have come in a corner outfield spot. Jones should continue to see consistent run to close the campaign and be a decent source of power as a result.

Ryan McMahon - Smacks 20th homer McMahon went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two RBI on Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.
Impact McMahon has seen his strikeouts pile up of late, as he has a 34.5 percent punchout rate across his last 13 starts. He's hit only .167 in that span, though he did manage his 20th homer of the season Wednesday -- matching his output from the 2022 campaign. While the rest of his stat line has remained fairly consistent, McMahon does have the chance to cross the 25-homer threshold for the first time in his career.

Brendan Rodgers - Heating up at home Rodgers went 2-for-4 with two doubles, three RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.
Impact Rodgers delivered a two-RBI double and came around to score in the sixth inning to briefly give the Rockies the lead. After a slow start in his return from a hamstring injury that cost him the first four months of the season, Rodgers has benefitted from hitter-friendly Coors Field to tally four hits across 12 at-bats while racking up five RBI and two runs scored across his last three games. He's hit between fourth and sixth in Colorado's lineup but figures to be an everyday player down the stretch of the campaign.
