ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS NEWS

Geraldo Perdomo - Snaps out of funk Perdomo went 3-for-4 in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Toronto.

Impact Perdomo's three-hit effort came after a brutal stretch for the shortstop. He entered the game with just two hits over the previous 31 at-bats. The run of futility reached 32 at-bats before an infield single in the third inning. Much of those struggles came as Arizona's primary leadoff batter against right-handers; however, Perdomo maintains a respectable .274/.367/.310 line atop the order in 2023.

Jake McCarthy - Prominent in loss McCarthy went 2-for-3 with a walk, two RBI and was picked off first base in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact McCarthy's threat as a speedster was on display, both good and bad, during the game. He beat out a two-out, infield chopper in the fourth inning that plated two runs and tied the game. Later, with Arizona down a run, he led off the seventh with a walk and was picked off by Toronto reliever Nate Pearson. McCarthy told Ethan Diamandas of MLB.com that he didn't feel he was being over-aggressive and the pickoff throw was perfectly timed. The outfielder is second on the Diamondbacks and tied for 12th in MLB with 20 steals.

Gabriel Moreno - Sits down Saturday Moreno isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup Saturday against Toronto.

Impact Moreno will get a breather Saturday one day after going 2-for-4 with a homer against his former team. Carson Kelly will fill in behind the plate and bat eighth while Moreno sits.

Ryne Nelson - Gets little help Friday Nelson didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 7-2 loss to the Blue Jays, giving up two runs (one earned) on nine hits over 5.2 innings. He struck out three without walking a b...

Impact The right-hander fell one out short of his sixth quality start of the season, getting lifted after 97 pitches (62 strikes), but despite the stingy outing Nelson was on the hook for his sixth loss of the year before Arizona managed to tie things up in the top of the seventh inning. Toronto then erupted for five runs in the bottom of the frame to put the game out of reach. Nelson has a mediocre 4.46 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 31:11 K:BB through 42.1 innings since the beginning of June, and his rotation spot could be in jeopardy if the Diamondbacks get aggressive at the trade deadline.

Ketel Marte - Part of sloppy effort Marte went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 7-2 loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Marte scored the Diamondbacks' first run on a wild pitch after hitting a leadoff double in the fourth inning, but that was not enough to offset the damage he did in the field. A second-inning error led to a run, then he misplayed a potential double-play groundball and had a throwing error during Toronto's five-run seventh inning. In addition to Marte's foibles, two Arizona baserunners ran into two outs and another was caught stealing. Marte's minus-two outs above average ranks tied for 30th among MLB second basemen.

Gabriel Moreno - Homers against former team Moreno went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-2 loss to Toronto.

Impact Moreno made an impression against the team that traded him to Arizona during the offseason. He threw out George Springer attempting to the steal in the first inning, then homered in the seventh. It was the third home run of the season for Moreno, who continues to serve as the primary catcher even with the return of Carson Kelly. The veteran Kelly is batting just .163 over 14 games since being activated from the 60-day injured list in mid-June.

Evan Longoria - Covering hot corner Longoria is starting at third base and batting sixth Friday in Toronto.

Impact Emmanuel Rivera started three of the last four games before the All-Star break at third base, but it will be Longoria there to kick off the second half as Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo continues to mix and match with the two at the hot corner. Longoria has an .828 OPS in 2023 but finished the first half hitless in his last five contests.

Ryan Bliss - Reaches Triple-A The Diamondbacks promoted Bliss to Triple-A Reno on Thursday, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports.

Impact Bliss dominated in Double-A to begin 2023, slashing .358/.414/.594 with 12 homers and 47 RBI across 324 plate appearances while also stealing 30 bases. The 23-year-old infielder figures to close the season in Triple-A, but a call up to the majors in 2024 will certainly be on the table if he continues to shine.
