Jorge Barrosa - Returns to action at Triple-A Barrosa (hamstring) has started in five games since being activated from Triple-A Reno's 7-day injured list April 11, going 6-for-19 with a home run, a double, three walks, seven R...
Impact Barrosa required only a brief stint on Reno's IL to begin the season while he worked his way back from the strained right hamstring he suffered in a Feb. 26 Cactus League game. Now that he's healthy again, the 22-year-old switch-hitting outfielder appears set to fill an everyday role for the Diamondbacks' top affiliate.

Austin Adams - Healthy again at Triple-A Adams (forearm) was reinstated from Triple-A Reno's 7-day injured list April 11 and has struck out four batters while allowing three earned runs on two hits and two walks across hi...
Impact Adams opened the campaign on Reno's IL while he finished up his recovery from the surgery he underwent in August to repair his right flexor tendon. The 31-year-old righty has shown flashes out excellence at the MLB level in the past, but he'll likely need to turn in several quality appearances out of the Reno bullpen before Arizona considers promoting him.

Jake McCarthy - Sits for second time in four games McCarthy is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Impact After going hitless in 10 at-bats over his last three starts to drop his season-long average to .170, McCarthy will find himself out of the lineup for the second time in four games. Pavin Smith, who went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Sunday's 5-0 win over Miami, will be rewarded with a second straight start while McCarthy heads to the bench.

Kevin Ginkel - Strands runner in win Ginkel allowed one hit and struck out one over 1.1 innings in Sunday's 5-0 win over Miami.
Impact Ginkel entered the seventh inning with a runner on second and two outs and struck out Avisail Garcia to end the threat. The right-hander appears to have solved the issue with pitch-tipping that flared up against the Dodgers two weeks ago. Since then, Ginkel has allowed one run and four hits while striking out five over five innings.

Pavin Smith - Part of decisive inning Smith went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 5-0 win over Miami.
Impact Smith, who was inserted to the lineup at designated hitter against Miami righty Sandy Alcantara, had the first of three run-producing hits in a decisive four-run sixth inning. This was Smith's third start in seven games since being called up from Triple-A Reno to fill a roster spot created by Kyle Lewis' illness. Lewis has not yet begun a rehab assignment, so Smith's spot could be safe for another week.

Corbin Carroll - Delivers final blow in win Carroll went 2-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Sunday's 5-0 win over the Marlins.
Impact Carroll delivered the final two runs off Miami ace Sandy Alcantara with a 414-foot shot to right-center. Prior to Carroll's blow, Pavin Smith and Christian Walker each had run-scoring hits, as Arizona's 3-4-5 hitters did much of the damage (6-for-12, four extra-base hits, four RBI, four runs). The home run was the fourth of the season for Carroll, who carries a four-game hit streak (7-for-16) into Monday's game at St. Louis.

Zac Gallen - Throws another scoreless outing Gallen earned the win Sunday, not allowing any runs on two hits through 6.2 innings in a 5-0 victory over the Marlins. He struck out seven.
Impact Gallen impressed again, providing a second consecutive game where the right-hander looked untouchable. The 27-year-old quickly retired the first 13 Marlins' batters he faced and would not allow a run throughout his 6.2 innings of work. Following this performance, Gallen has gone 13.2 innings without yielding a run and has racked up 18 strikeouts while allowing a single walk during this stint. He holds a 3.33 ERA and 0.95 WHIP over 24.1 innings pitched and will look to continue this scoreless streak in his next start, tentatively scheduled this week for Arizona's upcoming series with San Diego.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. - Not in lineup Sunday Gurriel is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.
Impact After going 1-for-4 with a double in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Marlins, Gurriel will take a seat for the first time since last Sunday against the Dodgers. Pavin Smith will handle DH duties and hit third against Sandy Alcantara and the Miami staff.

Ketel Marte - Sitting against Marlins Marte is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Marlins, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.
Impact Marte takes a seat after going 1-for-7 over the first two games of the series. Geraldo Perdomo will handle second base duties and hit second in his absence.

Impact Moreno gets a day of maintenance Sunday for the series finale against the Marlins. Jose Herrera will handle catching duties and hit ninth.

Scott McGough - Saddled with loss McGough (0-2) allowed two runs on three hits over a third of an inning, picking up the loss to Miami on Saturday.
Impact McGough came out of an impressive spring training as a late-inning relief option, but the right-hander's uneven regular-season performance may take him out of consideration for save chances. His appearance in the seventh inning Saturday after the Diamondbacks had taken the lead ended up being his second blown save in three opportunities. McGough's allowed five runs on six hits, including three home runs, and three walks over 4.2 innings.

Drey Jameson - May get multiple starts Jameson may make multiple starts as a fill-in for Zach Davies, whose oblique strain is expected to take "several weeks" to heal, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Arizona manager Torey Lovullo described Davies' injury as "more than a (Grade) 1." A Grade 1 strain is the least severe. Jameson excelled in his first start as a replacement, shutting down the Brewers over four scoreless innings last Wednesday. His next expected start is Tuesday in St. Louis. Jameson pitched as a starter in spring training -- eventually losing out on the No. 5 job to Ryne Nelson -- and should easily build up higher pitch counts and get deeper into games.
