Impact Gurriel's two-run double in the first inning gave the Diamondbacks an early lead. It was the third consecutive game with multiple RBI for Gurriel, who's knocked in 10 run over the last 10 games. His 35 RBI are second on the club behind Christian Walker's 36.

Carson Kelly - Begins rehab assignment Kelly (forearm) started at catcher and went 0-for-3 with a walk for Triple-A Reno on Friday.
Impact This was Kelly's second rehab start, both coming at catcher. He was limited to three innings Thursday due to rainy weather and followed up with seven innings Friday. Kelly is 0-for-5 in his two starts.

Geraldo Perdomo - Bats leadoff Friday Perdomo batted leadoff and went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and was caught stealing in Friday's 3-2 win over Atlanta.
Impact Perdomo snapped an 0-for-13 skid when led off the home half of the first inning with an infield single and came around to score. This was the second time Perdomo slotted in at leadoff, but it doesn't look like it's a new home in the order for him, according to Michelle Gardner of the Arizona Republic. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said it was more about giving Pavin Smith and Josh Rojas a night off while keeping a left-handed bat atop the order.

Miguel Castro - Works around traffic for save Castro allowed two hits in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Friday's 3-2 win over Atlanta.
Impact Castro put two of the first three batters aboard in the ninth inning, but got a flyout from Ozzie Albies and a groundout from Orlando Arcia to avoid disaster. This was Castro's 11th straight scoreless appearance, a span in which he's picked up five of his six saves this year while adding two holds and two wins. The right-hander continues to get late-inning work as a result of his strong pitching -- he's at a 2.13 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 22:8 K:BB through 25.1 innings this year, bringing stability to the back end of Arizona's bullpen. Andrew Chafin remains Castro's primary competition for save chances in what's become a two-man committee.

Merrill Kelly - Wins fourth straight start Kelly (7-3) allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out eight over seven innings to earn the win Friday over Atlanta.
Impact A pair of Eddie Rosario solo home runs accounted for the damage on Kelly's line. This was the 34-year-old's fourth straight win and his sixth victory in his last seven outings. He's posted five quality starts over that longer span. For the season, Kelly has a strong 2.80 ERA with a 1.08 WHIP and 77:28 K:BB through 70.2 innings through 12 starts. Containing Atlanta's offense is impressive on its own, and Kelly will look to keep rolling next week in a favorable road start against the Nationals.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. - Lifts offense in win Gurriel went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Thursday's 5-4 win over Colorado.

JUNE 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Corbin Carroll - Walks off Rockies Carroll went 1-for-5 with two RBI in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.
Impact With two outs and runners on second and third in the bottom of the ninth inning, Colorado right-hander Pierce Johnson opted to pitch to the lefty Carroll rather than walk the bases loaded and face the righty-hitting Christian Walker. Carroll managed to contact a fastball outside the zone for a two-run, walkoff single that completed the Diamondbacks' comeback from a 4-1 deficit. He's on a productive five-game hitting streak, going 7-for-19 with two home, runs seven RBI and four runs.
