Notches steal Fernandez went 1-for-2 with two walks, a stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 9-0 win over the Reds.

Impact Fernandez has now started at third base in four consecutive games while Nolan Arenado is limited to serving as the designated hitter. Fernandez has gone 5-for-13 over those games, so he could end up hitting his way into a more permanent spot in the infield. For the year, he's batting .264 with a .672 OPS, three home runs, eight steals, 16 RBI, 25 runs scored and nine doubles over 193 plate appearances.

Diamondbacks Place Ketel Marte On Restricted List, Reportedly Set For MRI On Knee

Starts at hot corner Fernandez started at third base and went 1-for-3 in Monday's 11-1 loss to the Red Sox.

Impact Fernandez was a late call-up after Arizona placed Ketel Marte (personal) on the restricted list. Without both Marte and Nolan Arenado (torso), the Diamondbacks got by with Ildemaro Vargas at second base and Fernandez at third. The length of Marte's absence is unknown, but Arenado will try to play through his injury and could miss Tuesday's game, per MLB>.com.

Promoted to big leagues Fernandez was recalled from Triple-A Reno ahead of Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Fernandez will take the roster spot of Ketel Marte, who was placed on the restricted list prior to first pitch. Fernandez is penciled into the starting nine at the hot corner and will bat seventh against Boston on Monday, though he's also seen playing time at first base (17 games), shortstop (five games) and as the designated hitter (19 games) so far this season with Arizona.

Dispatched to minors The Diamondbacks optioned Fernandez to Triple-A Reno on Friday.

Impact Fernandez's first stint in the majors resulted in a .255/.289/.352 batting line with three home runs, seven stolen bases and a 7:40 BB:K over 55 games. He's being sent out in favor of LuJames Groover.

Fills in at hot corner Fernandez started at third base and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's 5-1 loss to Seattle.

Impact Fernandez was a late addition to the starting lineup after Nolan Arenado (groin) was scratched. Arenado has battled the groin since getting hit by a pitch in that area Tuesday, which has opened up playing time for Fernandez. The rookie has gone 3-for-12 with two doubles and an RBI as a fill-in at third base.

Logs two doubles Fernandez went 3-for-5 with two doubles and one RBI in Friday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Mariners.

Impact Fernandez entered Friday just 1-for-17 over his last six games. The infielder was able to break out with a big game, and after Nolan Arenado (arm/groin) was plunked in the ninth inning, there's the possibility Fernandez may be needed to fill in at third base for a while longer. Fernandez is hitting .268 with a .677 OPS, three home runs, 15 RBI, 23 runs scored and six stolen bases across 49 contests this season.

Fills in at third base Fernandez entered Tuesday's game in the seventh inning after Nolan Arenado was removed due to a groin injury. Fernandez was hitless in his lone at-bat in a 7-5 win over the Giants.

Impact Arizona manager Torey Lovullo downplayed the injury to Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports and indicated there were no plans to have Arenado undergo imaging. He's considered day-to-day, and Fernandez is likely to fill-in at third base if needed.

Snags fifth steal Fernandez went 1-for-3 with one RBI and one stolen base in Sunday's 8-6 win over the Rockies.

Impact Fernandez started all three games of this weekend series against the Rockies, going 4-for-12 with two RBI and two steals. Two of those starts came against right-handed pitchers, though Ketel Marte serving as designated hitter Saturday before resting Sunday likely factored into Fernandez's usage in the field. Through 127 plate appearances this year, Fernandez is hitting .275 with a .693 OPS, three home runs, five steals, 14 RBI and 20 runs scored. He'll play regularly against left-handed pitchers, but it doesn't look like he'll be strictly platooned when his hitting is good.

Losing starts to Del Castillo Fernandez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Fernandez will be on the bench for the second day in a row, with both of his absences coming against right-handed pitchers. Though Fernandez maintains a .775 OPS on the season compared to Adrian Del Castillo's .657 mark, the latter's standing as a left-handed batter could afford him most of the playing time at designated hitter. Arizona had previously had regular at-bats against right-handed pitching available for both players between DH and catcher, but Gabriel Moreno's recent return from the injured list will limit Del Castillo's opportunities to pick up starts behind the dish moving forward.

Taking seat Tuesday Fernandez isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Fernandez will get a breather after going 1-for-9 with a walk and a run scored during Arizona's latest series against the Cubs. His absence will allow Adrian Del Castillo to work as the designated hitter while batting fourth.
