Ketel Marte Not In D-Backs Lineup

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is getting a day of rest in Friday's contest in Philadelphia against the Phillies. Rookie infielder Blaze Alexander will take his place at second base and will bat in the eight-hole against Phillies right-hander Taijuan Walker. As far as we know, it looks like Marte is just getting a […]

Ryne Nelson Cruises To Win Over Nationals

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Ryne Nelson put together a very nice start on Thursday, earning his fifth win in a 5-2 victory over the Washington Nationals. Nelson tossed seven strong innings, allowing just three hits with two strikeouts and zero walks. The swing-and-miss stuff wasn't there in this one, but it is his second consecutive […]

Jake McCarthy Tallies Three Hits, Swipes Two Bags In Thursday’s Victory

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jake McCarthy went 3-for-4 on Thursday with two runs and two stolen bases. All three of his hits on Thursday afternoon were singles, and he is now riding a three-game hitting streak. Through 64 games this season, the 26-year-old is holding a strong .298/.378/.422 slash line with three home runs and 12 […]

Alek Thomas To Play In Rehab Game Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Alek Thomas (hamstring) will play in another Arizona Complex League game on Friday after the soreness in his injured hamstring subsided. Thomas reported "general soreness" in his hamstring earlier this week, which caused the Diamondbacks to temporarily pause his rehab assignment after he went 3-for-3 with a double and two RBI in […]

Yilber Diaz Strikes Out Six In Second Triple-A Start

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitching prospect Yilber Diaz struck out six across 5 2/3 three-run frames (zero earned runs) with five hits and two free passes. Diaz made his Triple-A debut last week and allowed four runs across 4 1/3 innings with just one strikeout. His performance on Wednesday was a nice bounce-back. The 23-year-old opened […]

Zac Gallen To Throw Another Sim Game Next Week

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen (hamstring) will throw his next simulated game early next week, and it sounds like he could return to the team after that if all goes well. There's still no target date for his return to a major-league mound, but The Arizona Republic's Theo Mackie is guessing the upcoming series against […]

Corbin Carroll Resting Against A Southpaw

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against the Washington Nationals with left-hander MacKenzie Gore on the mound. Carroll hasn't performed like the reigning National League Rookie of the Year in 2024, hitting just .218/.309/.324 with two homers, 23 RBI, 13 stolen bases and 43 runs scored […]

MLB DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/20/24) - Today's Top Lineups

I'm still pinch-hitting for Euan today, which brings us a rather busy Thursday. It's not an even split, though, with seven of the nine games in the afternoon making that the main slate. That gives us an abnormally large Thursday with several good options. We just have to watch out for rain in Chicago and […]

Alek Thomas' Rehab Assignment Put On Pause

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that the team has again put outfielder Alek Thomas' (hamstring) minor-league rehab assignment on pause. Lovullo said Thomas is dealing with "general soreness" but added that he remains "very" optimistic that Thomas will get back into rehab games by the end of this week. "Nothing that's alarming. I think […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Likely To Throw Off A Mound Within The Next Week

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez's (shoulder) latest imaging showed "almost 100% healing." Rodriguez will likely throw off a mound within the next week. The 31-year-old veteran southpaw opened his first season in Arizona on the injured list due to a left-shoulder strain that he suffered in spring training, and a […]

Joc Pederson Sitting Against Left-Hander

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder/designated hitter Joc Pederson will retreat to the bench on Wednesday against the Washington Nationals with left-hander Patrick Corbin toeing the rubber in D.C. Pederson has made just one start this year against a left-handed starting pitcher, so it's no surprise to see him sitting at the start of this contest. Eugenio Suarez […]

After a bit of a lull in the world of prospect promotions, the last couple of weeks have been very active on the prospect front. Joey Loperfido has gone up and down what feels like 35 times, and we saw Addison Barger recalled, along with the debuts of Ben Rice and Orelvis Martinez. My gut […]

Ketel Marte Hits 15th Homer Of Season Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte continued to hit for power in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Nationals. Marte went 2-for-4 with a single, a two-run home run, three RBI, and a strikeout. Marte got things started by lining a first-inning Jake Irvin offspeed offering over the center-field wall. The 30-year-old has provided the pop […]

Champ or Chump: Jake McCarthy and Heliot Ramos Fantasy Baseball Outlooks

Mookie Betts fractured his left wrist on Sunday, leaving fantasy managers scrambling for a replacement. If you're using Betts in the middle infield, the preferred replacement is David Hamilton. Hamilton bizarrely lost playing time so the Red Sox could play center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela (four Outs Above Average) as a terrible shortstop (-6 OAA), but […]

Fantasy Baseball Risers and Fallers - Jarred Kelenic, Jon Gray, Brent Rooker, & More

There is nothing quite like the ebbs and flows of fantasy baseball.

Across the past two months, plenty of recently unknown players have […]

Spencer Giesting Promoted To Double-A

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher prospect Spencer Giesting is being promoted to Double-A Amarillo. The former 11th-round draft pick pitched to a 4.00 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, and a 10.1% K-BB% over 24 starts last season at High-A, but has looked like a different pitcher this season. Over 10 starts at High-A in 2024, the southpaw has […]

Jordan Lawlar To Miss 4-6 Weeks

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop prospect Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) is expected to miss an extended period of time after suffering an injury during Saturday's game with Triple-A Reno. The 21-year-old underwent an MRI on Sunday to determine the severity of the injury. It's not good news as it appears Lawlar has suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain. […]
