Ketel Marte - Late scratch from lineup Marte was scratched from Thursday's lineup in St. Louis due to back stiffness, Steve Zinsmeister of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Impact Marte has a history of back issues and this flareup looks like a day-to-day situation for the time being. Tyler Locklear entered the Diamondbacks' lineup in Marte's place, with Tim Tawa shifting to third base and Ildemaro Vargas to second base.

Nolan Arenado - Taking seat Thursday Arenado isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Arenado will catch a breather after going 1-for-1 with a solo homer, three walks and three runs scored during Wednesday's win against the Athletics. Ildemaro Vargas will fill in as Arizona's third baseman and bat eighth.

Jeff McNeil - Goes deep in Wednesday's loss McNeil went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 15-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact McNeil clubbed a solo homer to right field in the fifth inning of what turned out to be a blowout defeat. The 34-year-old has primarily played second base this season, though he started Wednesday's contest at first base, where Jonah Heim and Tommy White have also seen time while Nick Kurtz (thumb) has been sidelined. McNeil's playing time has decreased sharply in recent weeks, as his season slash line sits at .238/.301/.321 with four homers, 31 RBI, 28 runs and two stolen bases across 90 games.
