Christian Walker - Homers off bench Walker (elbow) went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Orioles.
Impact Walker entered the game as a pinch hitter for Jace Peterson in the sixth inning, and he went yard in the ninth in his second at-bat after staying in at first base. Given he was able to play three innings in the field, it's unlikely Walker's elbow contusion will keep him out of the starting lineup much longer, especially since X-rays came back negative Saturday night. The first baseman's blast was his 30th of the season and his second in three September games. He's added a .271/.348/.529 slash line with 90 RBI, 71 runs scored and eight stolen bases through 133 games.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. - Goes yard in loss Gurriel went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Orioles.
Impact Gurriel has homered twice over the first three games of September, and all three of his hits this month have gone for extra bases. The veteran outfielder hit a strong .286 in August and is continuing that trend into the final month of the campaign. For the season, he's at a .254/.304/.468 slash line with 22 homers, 71 RBI, 56 runs scored and four stolen bases through 122 contests.

Corbin Carroll - Clubs 24th homer Carroll went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Orioles.
Impact Carroll tallied his ninth multi-hit effort over his last 14 games. The outfielder has added three homers and four stolen bases over that span as he continues to make a strong impact in all five standard fantasy categories. For the year, the rookie outfielder has a .282/.362/.523 slash line with 24 long balls, 41 steals, 66 RBI, 99 runs scored, 26 doubles and eight triples through 132 contests.

Zac Gallen - Another rough start Gallen (14-7) allowed five runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out four over 5.1 innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Orioles.
Impact Gallen had given up four runs through two innings before settling down, only to stumble again in the sixth. While he's faced tough opponents in consecutive starts (Baltimore and Los Angeles), Gallen has not risen to the occasion while surrendering 11 runs over his last 10.2 innings. He's now at a 3.48 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 186:38 K:BB through 178.2 innings across 29 starts this season. The right-hander is projected for a road start versus the Cubs in his next outing.

Tommy Pham - Managing bruised finger Pham was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Orioles due to a bruised right pinky finger, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.
Impact The Diamondbacks didn't initially reveal the reason for Pham's removal from the lineup, but he's dealing with a finger injury that causes him discomfort when he swings. Manager Torey Lovullo labeled Pham as day-to-day ahead of Monday's series opener against the Rockies.

Gabriel Moreno - Not in Sunday's lineup Moreno is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
Impact Moreno started the first two games versus Baltimore but will take a seat for Sunday's series finale. Jose Herrera will step in behind the plate and bat eighth.

Tommy Pham - Scratched from Sunday's lineup Pham was scratched from the lineup Sunday against the Orioles for undisclosed reasons.
Impact Pham was penciled in to bat fourth as Arizona's designated hitter but was instead a late removal from the starting nine. It's unclear if the 35-year-old is dealing with an injury or if he'll be available off the bench. Evan Longoria replaced Pham in the lineup.

Christian Walker - On bench Sunday Walker (elbow) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
Impact Walker exited Saturday's contest with a right elbow contusion and will be sidelined for at least one game. The 28-year-old already had X-rays come back negative, so he appears to have avoided a serious injury and should be considered day-to-day. Pavin Smith is starting at first base Sunday for Arizona.

Gabriel Moreno - Goes deep in loss Moreno went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 7-3 loss to Baltimore.
Impact Moreno's hot stick continued Saturday, but his ninth-inning home run was too little. The blast was the catcher's seventh of the season and fourth in the last 13 games. Since the All-Star break, Moreno has a 1.045 OPS with 11 extra-base hits (five home runs) and 15 RBI over 22 games.

Christian Walker - X-rays negative Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Walker sustained a right elbow contusion during Saturday's loss to the Orioles, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Walker was hit by a pitch on the elbow, and X-rays following the game indicated he may have dodged a more serious injury. "X-rays (were) negative, which is great," Walker said. "Just a ton of nerve pain." The injury was initially described as right hand discomfort because the pitch hit a nerve in the elbow and resulted in numbness in the hand and fingers. Walker is not expected to play Sunday, but he was encouraged by the initial results.

Slade Cecconi - Roughed up by Orioles Cecconi (0-1) took the loss against Baltimore on Saturday, allowing six runs on nine hits and no walks while striking out four batters over 3.1 innings.
Impact Cecconi got through three frames without allowing a run but imploded in the fourth. Baltimore racked up seven straight one-out hits against the right-hander in the inning, including a pair of doubles and a Cedric Mullins three-run homer. Cecconi was tagged with six runs in the frame before he was pulled, equaling the amount of runs he had allowed over 21 major-league innings coming into the contest. His ERA jumped from 2.57 to 4.44 as a result, and this was also Cecconi's first defeat as a big leaguer. Assuming he sticks in the rotation, the rookie's next turn is tentatively lined up to come in Chicago against the Cubs next week.

Christian Walker - Exits with hand discomfort Walker was lifted from Saturday's game versus the Orioles after the fourth inning due to right hand discomfort.
Impact Walker was hit by a Kyle Bradish pitch in the third inning and initially stayed in before the pain apparently became too much. He is surely set to undergo X-rays. Walker lined out in his other plate appearance Saturday.
