Adrian Del Castillo - Gaining traction versus righties Del Castillo will start at designated hitter and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Del Castillo will be included in the lineup for a fourth straight matchup with a right-handed starter or primary pitcher, after going 4-for-11 with a double, a stolen base, three runs and an RBI over his prior three starts. The 26-year-old will need to produce well at the plate in order to continue receiving steady at-bats versus righties, but he'll have a path to playing time while Arizona has three key hitters (Lourdes Gurriel, Jordan Lawlar and Tommy Troy) on the shelf.

Tim Tawa - Receiving evening off Tawa is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Tawa will hit the bench for the series opener after he had been included in the lineup in each of Arizona's previous seven games. During that stretch, Tawa made starts at first base, third base and in center field while going 8-for-28 (.286 average) with two doubles, one walk, four RBI and three runs. Tawa should have a fairly clear path to an everyday role while the Diamondbacks contend with the absences of Lourdes Gurriel (adductor), Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) and Tommy Troy (shoulder).

Nolan Arenado - Heading to bench Monday Arenado is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.

Impact The Diamondbacks will send Arenado to the bench for the second time in four games, after he went 0-for-10 with three walks during the team's weekend series in Washington. Ildemaro Vargas will check in for Arenado at third base and will bat eighth.
