  • 29-53-8 11th Place
    • Starts at 1B again
      Duran started at first base and went 1-for-4 with a double in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Tigers.

      Advice: Duran was in the starting lineup at first base for a third straight game -- all against lefties -- as it appears primary starter Nathaniel Lowe is losing work against southpaws. Duran is batting .235/.304/.275 against lefties this season, which is lower than Lowe's line of .250/.327/.292, suggesting the platoon may not be a long-term solution. Rotowire.com 53 minutes ago

    • Walks off Giants
      Smith hit a pinch-hit, two-run home run in Monday's 4-2 win over the Giants.

      Advice: Smith pinch hit for Eugenio Suarez and sent a center-cut fastball over the fence in center field for a walk-off home run. It was his second homer of the season and the first walk-off blast of his career. Smith has been relegated to the bench and pinch-hit duties mostly, but he has a knack for high-leverage moments. Per Baseball Reference's leverage indicator, the outfielder/DH owns an .871 OPS in high-leverage spots during his career. Rotowire.com Today, 4:22 am
       
    • Pavin Smith hits walkoff homer for D-backs
      Pinch-hitter Pavin Smith hit a two-run homer off Randy Rodriguez in the bottom of the ninth to give the Diamondbacks a 4-2 win over the Giants on Monday.

      Advice: Smith’s 424-foot shot to center would have been a double had it turned a few inches to the left, but that still would have been enough to win the game. It was Smith’s second homer in 50 plate appearances this season and 30th in 1,144 trips to the plate since he debuted in 2020. He’s probably in line for a demotion to Triple-A once Alek Thomas comes off the IL, but the Diamondbacks were certainly happy to have him around tonight. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:49 pm
       
    • Launches fifth homer
      Gallo went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Monday's 8-7 loss to the Mets.

      Advice: Gallo launched his fifth home run of the season, but he has seen his playing time decrease over the past week. The 30-year-old has started just four of the past seven contests following a streak of 10-consecutive starts. Gallo will need to clean up his dismal .156 average and 45 percent strikeout rate to garner consistent playing time moving forward. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:21 pm

    • Receiving breather Monday
      Newman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

      Advice: Though he's coming off a productive weekend against the Mets in which he went 4-for-14 with a walk, a stolen base, three runs and an RBI in the four-game series, Newman will get a much-needed breather. Newman had started at shortstop in each of Arizona's last 21 games, but he'll give way to Blaze Alexander on Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:36 pm

    • Hitting on field, fields grounders
      Drury (hamstring) will hit on the field and take grounders Monday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

      Advice: Drury will probably need to run the bases before being cleared for a rehab assignment. It's not clear when that might occur, but he's progressing steadily. The veteran infielder has been sidelined since early May with a left hamstring strain. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:36 pm

    • Schanuel (thumb) returns from three-game absence
      Nolan Schanuel is back in the starting lineup for Monday’s game against the Padres.

      Advice: Schanuel missed the previous three games due to a sore thumb. His return has sent Kevin Pillar to the bench tonight. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:24 pm
       
    • Returns to lineup Monday
      Schanuel (thumb) is starting at first base and batting leadoff in Monday's game against the Padres.

      Advice: Schanuel missed three contests while nursing a sore left thumb but is feeling well enough to give it a go in the Angels' series opener against the Padres. The first baseman will carry an uninspiring .224/.294/.328line into action Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:24 pm
       
    • Brandon Drury (hamstring) works out on field
      Brandon Drury hit and took grounders on the field prior to Monday’s game.

      Advice: Drury has been out for nearly four weeks due to a hamstring strain, but it sounds like a return date is within site. He’ll probably require a couple of minor league games before being activated. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:22 pm
