Brandon Pfaadt - Stumbles versus Dodgers Pfaadt (1-7) allowed six runs (five earned) on eight hits and two walks while striking out four over four innings, taking the loss Wednesday versus the Dodgers.
Impact Pfaadt had gotten his season on track in August, but the month ended on a sour note. He gave up two-run home runs to Freddie Freeman and Jason Heyward in the third inning, and Max Muncy added a two-run double in the fourth. Pfaadt gave up 16 runs (15 earned) over 33.2 innings across his six starts in August. The rookie is now at a 6.21 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 64:22 K:BB through 71 innings over 14 starts this year. He's tentatively lined up for a home start versus the Rockies next week.

Mark Melancon - Throwing bullpen sessions Melancon (shoulder) has begun throwing off a mound, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact Melancon began his throwing program back in late May, but was just cleared to begin throwing bullpen sessions within the past couple of weeks. There's no telling whether or not Melancon will be able to return to Arizona's bullpen before the end of the season, but considering how slow his rehab process has been up to this point, there's a chance the team opts to hold him out until 2024.

Tommy Henry - Still not throwing Manager Torey Lovullo said Wednesday that Henry (elbow) still has not started his throwing program and he may be "past the point of no return," Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com rep...
Impact Lovullo said last week that there was a chance Henry returns in a bullpen role before the end of the season, but his chances appear to be fading. If Henry isn't able to begin his throwing program within the next few days, it's certainly possible the D-backs shift their focus to getting Henry ready for the start of spring training next year.

Gabriel Moreno - Gets breather Wednesday Moreno is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
Impact Jose Herrera will get a rare start at catcher as Moreno takes a breather. Moreno, 23, has slashed .340/.380/.638 with three home runs and 12 RBI in 13 games since he returned Aug. 13 from a bout of shoulder inflammation, and he is playing almost every day.

Corbin Carroll - Accounts for only run in loss Carroll went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-1 loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Carroll notched his seventh multi-hit effort in his last 10 games. He's gone 15-for-33 (.455) with six extra-base hits in that span. The rookie outfielder is at a .281/.362/.522 slash line with 23 homers, 40 stolen bases, 65 RBI, 96 runs scored, 25 doubles and eight triples over 128 contests. Carroll has now hit seventh versus the last two left-handed pitchers he's faced, though it's unclear if that's a temporary or permanent change to his lineup placement after he had regularly batted second versus southpaws.

Merrill Kelly - Struggles against Dodgers Kelly (10-6) allowed seven runs on 12 hits and three walks while striking out one over five innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Dodgers.
Impact Kelly exited his previous start with a hamstring cramp but suffered no further restrictions. His exit Tuesday appears to be solely based on poor performance, though he was able to complete five frames for the 23rd start in a row, the lone exception in 2023 being his season debut. The right-hander is now at a 3.31 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 147:52 K:BB through 141.1 innings this season. He's projected for a more favorable home start versus the Rockies early next week.

Nabil Crismatt - Outrighted to Reno The Diamondbacks sent Crismatt outright to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact Crismatt was pushed off the D-backs- 40-man roster Sunday in favor of Ryan Thompson, and he'll officially remain in Arizona's farm system after clearing waivers. The 28-year-old reliever has put up a 6.94 ERA and 1.54 WHIP through 36.1 innings in Triple-A and likely won't make it back to the majors this season.

Jace Peterson - On bench versus lefty Peterson is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the Dodgers.
Impact Evan Longoria will start at third base and bat sixth with left-hander Clayton Kershaw taking the bump for Los Angeles. Peterson has slashed just .188/.291/.271 in 22 games with Arizona and owns a career .544 OPS against southpaws.
AUGUST 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Alek Thomas - Sitting against lefty Thomas is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers.
Impact Lourdes Gurriel, Corbin Carroll and Tommy Pham will start across the outfield for the Diamondbacks as they take on left-hander Clayton Kershaw. Thomas has slashed .098/.127/.164 in 63 plate appearances versus lefties this year.
AUGUST 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Geraldo Perdomo - Gets breather Tuesday Perdomo is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers.
Impact Nick Ahmed will play shortstop and bat eighth versus left-hander Clayton Kershaw after Perdomo logged four straight starts at the position while going 4-for-13 (.308) with two RBI and two runs scored.
