ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS NEWS

Kevin Ginkel - Notches first save of season Ginkel struck out the side in a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his first save of the season in a 16-13 win over Atlanta.

Impact The right-hander faced the heart of the order for the NL East leaders and didn't flinch, getting Austin Riley, Matt Olson and Sean Murphy to all chase two-strike sliders. Scott McGough gave up six runs in 1.1 innings over his first two appearances after the All-Star break, so Arizona's closer role could once again be up for grabs, and Ginkel -- who has a 0.00 ERA, 0.32 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB through 12.1 innings since the beginning of June -- appears to be the next man up.

Zach Davies - Bailed out by offense Davies didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 16-13 win over Atlanta, coughing up nine runs on eight hits and three walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out one.

Impact The right-hander was mostly awful, with five of the eight hits off him going for extra bases, but Arizona's offense answered Atlanta's blow for blow until finally pulling away in the top of the ninth inning. It's the second time this season Davies has been tagged for nine runs in a start, and his 7.38 ERA and 1.62 WHIP through 57.1 innings make him unrosterable in any format. Should the Diamondbacks become buyers at the trade deadline, replacing him in the rotation will likely be the top priority, but for now Davies lines up to take the mound again this weekend in Cincinnati.

Josh Rojas - Makes appearance in ACL Rojas (back) served as the designated hitter in a game at the Arizona Complex League on Tuesday. He went 1-for-3.

Impact Rojas hadn't played since July 1, when Triple-A Reno placed him on the injured list with a lower back injury. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo told Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic that the infielder is "getting his swing back together," which sounds like the manager's primary concern is less about the back than the swing. Rojas was demoted to the minors June 19 after posting a .607 OPS for the Diamondbacks.

Merrill Kelly - Second rehab start coming Kelly (calf) will throw a second rehab start Thursday in the Arizona Complex League, Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Kelly made his first rehab appearance last Saturday, tossing 75 pitches in an ACL game. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo had hoped the right-hander would return from the injured list in time for this weekend's series against the Reds, but now the manager indicates Kelly is lined up to return for the three-game set against the Cardinals beginning next Monday.

Jake McCarthy - Not in lineup Tuesday McCarthy is absent from the lineup Tuesday at Atlanta.

Impact Lourdes Gurriel, Alek Thomas and Corbin Carroll will start across the outfield for the Diamondbacks as they face off against right-hander Bryce Elder. McCarthy is stuck in a 2-for-14 rut at the dish, though he has drawn five walks over that span.

Luis Frías - Recalled from Reno Arizona recalled Frias from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

Impact This might be a brief stay in the majors for Frias as Andrew Chafin (paternity) spends a few days away from the club. Frias, 25, has allowed eight earned runs in 6.2 major-league innings this year with the Diamondbacks.

JULY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Andrew Chafin - Placed on paternity list Arizona placed Chafin on the paternity list Tuesday.

Impact Chafin will miss at least a portion of the Diamondbacks' three-game series in Atlanta as he welcomes a new addition to his growing family. Luis Frias has been called up from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move.

JULY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gabriel Moreno - On bench again Tuesday Moreno is not in the lineup Tuesday against Atlanta.

Impact Carson Kelly will make a third straight start at catcher and hit seventh as the Diamondbacks try to get his bat going. No matter who is playing behind the plate in Arizona, the situation has not been fruitful for fantasy purposes so far in 2023.
