On track to face hitters Friday Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Wednesday that there's a good chance Beeks (back) will face live hitters Friday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact It would be the first time he has faced hitters since landing on the 15-day injured list just before the All-Star break with lower-back inflammation. It's unclear whether Beeks will need a rehab assignment before rejoining the Diamondbacks' bullpen.

Another bullpen on tap Beeks (back) is slated to throw another bullpen session Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact Beeks tossed a 23-pitch side session Saturday and appears to be closing in on a return from the 15-day injured list. The team has yet to announce whether he'll need a rehab assignment, as he may be ready to return after missing the minimum.

Throws bullpen Beeks (back) threw a 23-pitch bullpen session Saturday, MLB.com reports.
Impact Prior to landing on the 15-day injured list with lower back inflammation, Beeks' name was mentioned in discussions about closing out games. Arizona's bullpen is beset with injuries, and it will continue to be when Beeks' minimum stay on the IL ends July 23. Any rehab assignment is expected to be a brief one.

IL move official The Diamondbacks placed Beeks on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to July 8, due to lower back inflammation.
Impact As manager Torey Lovullo indicated earlier Friday, Beeks will be shelved with back inflammation. The move opens up a spot for Kendall Graveman (hip) to rejoin the active roster. In 41 innings, Beeks has a 4.39 ERA and a 39:15 K:BB.

Going on IL Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Friday that Beeks will be placed on the injured list due to lower back inflammation, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.
Impact Beeks hasn't pitched since July 6 and it's unclear when the injury popped up. The left-hander was expected to be in the mix for save opportunities while Shelby Miller (forearm) is on the shelf. However, it seems as though Kevin Ginkel will hold down closer duties. Kendall Graveman (hip) is expected to be activated from the injured list in a corresponding move.
JULY 11 • ROTOWIRE
Could close games Beeks is expected to be part of the mix of relievers that could garner save chances with Shelby Miller (forearm) on the 15-day injured list, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.
Impact Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said he's going to "piece it together" when referring to the state of the team's closer. Kevin Ginkel got the first crack Monday, but Beeks has experience with 16 career saves, including 10 last season with Colorado and Pittsburgh. After a disastrous series against the Marlins a week ago (one inning, eight runs, four walks), Beeks has made three consecutive scoreless appearances.

Rough weekend Beeks (2-1) allowed five runs on two hits and four walks while striking out two in picking up the loss to the Marlins on Sunday.
Impact It was a rough weekend for the Diamondbacks' bullpen and Beeks in particular. The 'pen blew eighth-inning leads Saturday and Sunday, resulting in Miami's sweep of the series, with Beeks playing a starring role in both collapses. He allowed a combined eight runs on five hits and four walks over one inning. It was a startling turn for the right-hander, who entered the weekend with a 2.92 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with 11 holds.

Holds lead Saturday Beeks threw a 1-2-3 eighth inning to record a hold in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Rockies.
Impact Beeks needed seven pitches (five strikes) to mow down the top of Colorado's order and pick up his 10th hold before handing the ball off to closer Shelby Miller. Beeks has been money well spent by the Diamondbacks, who have navigated injuries and subpar performances in what was expected to be the late-game relief crew. He, Ryan Thompson and Miller have stepped in for Justin Martinez (elbow), A.J. Puk (elbow) and Kevin Ginkel (5.22 ERA). Beeks has a 2.97 ERA with 10 holds, one save and a 33:11 K:BB rate over 36.1 innings.
