Paul Sewald - Secures save No. 2 Sewald struck out the side in order to pick up the save in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Tigers.

Impact The 35-year-old was called upon for the ninth inning after Arizona turned a 5-1, eighth-inning deficit into a two-run lead, and he dispatched the middle of Detroit's lineup on 13 pitches. Sewald now has two saves through three scoreless appearances this year, already matching his saves total from a bumpy 2025 regular season with Cleveland and Detroit. Thing can change fast this early in the season, but Sewald has quickly established himself as Arizona's top option for saves.

Brandon Pfaadt - Gives up five runs in 2026 debut Pfaadt did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk over six innings in a 7-5 victory over the Tigers. He struck out three.

Impact Pfaadt retired the side in order in five of six his frames Tuesday, but the third inning was a mess as Detroit rallied for five runs on six hits. Despite that seemingly strong performance for most of the night, the right-hander generated just six swinging strikes on 85 pitches, which isn't exactly an encouraging season debut after his strikeout rate already dropped more than five percentage points to 19.2 percent from 2024 to 2025. A matchup with Atlanta this weekend presents a difficult task for Pfaadt his next time out.

Jose Fernandez - Homers twice in MLB debut Fernandez went 3-for-4 with two home runs, four RBI and a strikeout in Tuesday's 7-5 win against the Tigers.

Impact Starting at third base in his major-league debut, the 22-year-old put the Diamondbacks on the board during the fourth inning with a solo shot and followed up with a three-run blast in the eighth to erase a 5-4 deficit. Fernandez was expected to primarily serve as a reserve infielder for Arizona after getting promoted Monday, but the impactful debut could net him more opportunities in the short term with Pavin Smith (elbow) on the injured list.
