Ketel Marte - Lifts three-run homer Marte went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 8-7 extra-innings loss to the Reds.
Impact Marte's fifth-inning blast put the Diamondbacks ahead 4-0, but it wasn't a lead they could hold. The second baseman has gone 6-for-18 (.333) with two homers and five RBI over his last five games. For the season, he's at 21 long balls, 67 RBI, 80 runs scored, six stolen bases and a .274/.355/.479 slash line through 122 contests.

Paul Sewald - Blows save Saturday Sewald gave up two runs on two hits and a walk over two-thirds of an inning, taking a blown save in Saturday's 8-7 extra-innings loss to the Reds.
Impact Sewald has mostly danced around danger effectively since he was traded from Seattle, but he couldn't do it Saturday. A Tyler Stephenson RBI double and a Matt McLain groundout produced the pair of runs on Sewald's line in his second blown save in nine chances with the Diamondbacks. He's now at a 3.25 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 72:21 K:BB through 52.2 innings on the year while converting 28 of 33 save chances.

Zach Davies - Goes five innings in no-decision Davies (back) allowed a run on five hits and two walks while striking out five over five-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Reds on Saturday.
Impact Davies was solid in his return from lower-back inflammation, with his lone mistake being a solo home run by Matt McLain in the sixth inning. Davies threw 86 pitches (54 strikes) in the start, his sharpest since he posted seven shutout innings against the Rays on June 28. The veteran right-hander has had more downs than ups in 2023, pitching to a 6.93 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 51:29 K:BB through 62.1 innings over 13 starts. He's projected for a tough home start versus Baltimore next week.

Justin Martinez was optioned to Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move.

Corbin Carroll - Walks thrice, steals base Carroll went 0-for-2 with three walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 10-8 win over the Reds.
Impact Carroll was a bit inconsistent earlier in the month, but he has five multi-hit efforts, three steals and five RBI over his last nine contests. His theft Friday was his 39th of the year, putting him one shy of being the third member of the 40-steal club this season. Carroll is hitting .276 with an .865 OPS, 22 home runs, 64 RBI and 90 runs scored through 124 games overall.

Geraldo Perdomo - Nabs two steals Friday Perdomo went 1-for-3 with two walks, one RBI, two stolen bases and one run scored in Friday's 10-8 win over the Reds.
Impact Perdomo has gone 4-for-15 (.267) over nine games since his last multi-hit effort. His pair of steals Friday accounted for his first pilfers since Aug. 2. The shortstop is at a .270/.372/.402 slash line with 15 thefts, six home runs, 41 RBI, 55 runs scored, 19 doubles and three triples over 111 contests in a strong-side platoon role.

Kevin Ginkel - Snags fourth save Ginkel struck out both batters he faced to earn the save in Friday's 10-8 win over the Reds.
Impact A save situation wasn't expected to arise in Friday's game, but Justin Martinez allowed a grand slam while Arizona was ahead by six. With the game getting closer, Ginkel stepped in and stopped the bleeding to pick up his first save in a month. In that span, he recorded four wins and four holds while surrendering five runs (three earned) over 13.2 innings in a setup role to usual closer Paul Sewald, who was presumably unavailable after pitching three of the last four days. Ginkel is up to four saves with a 2.19 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 53:17 K:BB over 53.1 innings this season, and he should continue to see late-inning work.
AUGUST 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Pfaadt - Earns first career win Pfaadt (1-6) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out five over 5.1 innings to earn the win over the Reds on Friday.
Impact Pfaadt gave up one of Nick Martini's two home runs in the game, but it was an otherwise strong outing again for the rookie right-hander. Over five starts in August, Pfaadt has yielded 10 runs across 29.2 innings with a 30:9 K:BB. He's now at a 5.91 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 60:20 K:BB through 67 innings across 13 starts, though he's certainly trending in the right direction. He's projected to make his next appearance on the road against the Dodgers.

Druw Jones - Clocks first pro homer Jones went 2-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run, an additional run scored and a stolen base for Single-A Visalia on Thursday.
Impact Jones broke a tie in the top of the ninth inning when he clocked his first professional home run to the deepest part of the ballpark in left-center field. His first full season as a professional has been marked by injuries. After the second-overall draft pick in 2022 had his debut season wiped out due to a shoulder injury, Jones endured right quad and hamstring issues this season, limiting him to 10 games before rejoining Visalia earlier this month. He went 0-for-9 in the first three games back, but Jones has hit safely in three straight since, going 5-for-12 with two extra-base hits, two walks and two steals.
AUGUST 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Gabriel Moreno - Logs another three hits Moreno went 3-for-4 in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Reds.
Impact Moreno's surged at the plate over the past week, hitting safely in five of six games, including multiple hits in four. He's 10-for-24 with a double, two home runs and seven RBI over that stretch. Moreno's put up a respectable line during his first full season in the majors, slashing .282/.321/.392 over 83 games. His emergence prompted to the Diamondbacks to move on from Carson Kelly, who served as the club's primary catcher the four previous seasons.

Corbin Carroll - Comes through with clutch homer Carroll went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 3-2 win against the Reds on Thursday.
Impact Carroll provided the biggest hit of the contest, smacking a two-run shot to right field in the eighth inning to give Arizona a one-run lead. The rookie star had gone 27 games without a long ball coming into the contest, with 17 of his 23 hits during that span going for a single. Carroll has struggled through much of August but is suddenly coming on strong, slashing .529/.526/.765 with four runs, five RBI and a stolen base over his past five games.
