David Peralta Will Rest Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta will not be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants. Peralta will take a breather after starting the last four games.

Yasmany Tomas Placed On Outright Waivers

Diamondback's outfielder Yasmany Tomas was placed on outright waivers Saturday night. Tomas failed to make the D'Backs Opening Day roster despite Steven Souza starting the year on the DL.
