Zach Davies - Bullpen session Wednesday Davies (oblique) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday before the Diamondbacks determine whether he'll be activated or make another rehab start, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
Impact Davies struck out seven over 4.2 scoreless innings for Double-A Amarillo over the weekend. Assuming he comes out of Wednesday's bullpen session with no issues, he would appear likely to rejoin Arizona's rotation as soon as this weekend.

MLB Power Rankings: Biggest surprises? Biggest disappointments?
Much has changed in MLB since Opening Day. Here’s a look at the teams that have jumped — and dropped — the most since our initial rankings.MAY 22, 2023
Jordan Lawlar - Struggling at Double-A Lawlar has returned to action after missing a few days for Double-A Amarillo with a wrist injury.
Impact The 20-year-old shortstop is hitting .162/.296/.342 with five home runs and 10 steals in 32 games. Dating back to last year, Lawlar has a .183/.297/.347 slash line and 73:30 K:BB in 52 games at Double-A. He has a high power/speed ceiling, but legitimate hit tool concerns are starting to emerge. His .203 BABIP this season is a sign of some misfortune, and his 29.7 percent linedrive rate, 37.8 percent flyball rate and 29 percent hard-hit rate are all signs of strong quality of contact. Lawlar's stock has decreased this season, but there are reasons to expect his performance to trend up.

Kevin Ginkel - Closes out Bucs Ginkel allowed one walk and struck out one over a scoreless two innings in Sunday's 8-3 win over Pittsburgh.
