Impact Rojas has four hits, two doubles, three RBI and a stolen base in the last two games. He's settling in as what appears to be the strongside of a platoon at third base with Evan Longoria.

Merrill Kelly - Takes loss Thursday Kelly (0-1) took the loss against the Dodgers on Thursday, allowing four runs on six hits and four walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out four batters.
Impact Kelly made it through the first inning without allowing any baserunners, but Los Angeles put up three runs against him in the following two frames. The right-hander faced the minimum six batters across the subsequent pair of innings, but he was pulled with two outs in the sixth after allowing another run on a pair of hits and a walk. Kelly has struggled with his control in the early part of the campaign, issuing eight walks over his first 9.1 innings.

Madison Bumgarner - Good to start Friday Bumgarner (arm) said Thursday that he expects to take his next scheduled turn in the Diamondbacks' rotation, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
Impact Bumgarner felt a bit of arm fatigue over the course of his season debut last Saturday against the Dodgers and was lit up for five earned runs on four hits and four walks over four innings. But an MRI taken Monday showed nothing concerning and he's since thrown a side session without issue. He's lined up for a rematch versus the Dodgers on Friday night in Arizona.

Corbin Carroll - Batting fifth again Thursday Carroll is batting fifth Thursday against the Dodgers.
Impact There had been some hope that Carroll would quickly take over the leadoff role for the Diamondbacks, but that has primarily been occupied by Josh Rojas, Ketel Marte and Kyle Lewis in the early going. Rojas is up there again Thursday with right-hander Dustin May on the mound for Los Angeles.

Jake McCarthy - Reaches base four times McCarthy went 2-for-3 with a walk, was hit by a pitch, scored two runs and was successful on one of two attempted steals in Tuesday's 8-6 win over the Padres.
Impact McCarthy was part of a lower-half of the order that was a key to the win. He started Arizona's four-run eighth inning with a single and stole second base before racing home with the tying run on a safety squeeze bunt by shortstop Geraldo Perdomo. McCarthy stole 23 bases (caught three times) in 99 games last season, so he has the ability to make an impact for fantasy teams.

Geraldo Perdomo - Delivers key run in win Perdomo went 1-for-1 with a walk, was hit by a pitch, stole a base, knocked in three runs and scored three runs in Tuesday's 8-6 win over San Diego.
Impact Arizona's offense came to life over the final four innings, including a four-run eighth in which Perdomo figured prominently. His drag bunt produced the game-tying run -- his team-leading fourth RBI -- and he reached base when first baseman Matt Carpenter mishandled the ball. Perdomo then stole second base and eventually scored on a Jose Herrera single. The Diamondbacks were aggressive on the base paths, taking extra bases and stealing five bags (attempting six), and produced eight runs on nine hits (two for extra bases) and seven walks. After an offensively sluggish five games, Tuesday's explosion may be a preview of how Arizona operates going forward. That's a brand of ball that favors Perdomo, who currently shares shortstop with Nick Ahmed.

Josh Rojas - Plays role in small-ball win Rojas batted lead off and went 3-for-3 with a walk, two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 8-6 win over San Diego.
Impact The Diamondbacks' offense came alive for the first time this season with most of the production in the final four innings when it scored seven runs. Much of it can be chalked up to small-ball, as Rojas perfectly executed a slide into home on a double steal. Those were two of five stolen bases for Arizona. Rojas has shared third base with Evan Longoria, getting starts against right-handers. After an off-day, the D-backs return to action Thursday against the Dodgers and right-hander Dustin May.

Drey Jameson - Earns two-inning save Jameson picked up the save Tuesday against San Diego. He allowed one run on three hits and one walk while striking out two over two innings.
Impact He lost the battle for the final rotation spot to Ryne Nelson, but Jameson is having a great opening week regardless as he grabbed his first win of 2023 on Friday and now has his first career save to go with it. The back end of the Arizona bullpen has been shaky early on and Jameson, a top 10 prospect in the organization, could quickly emerge as a go-to option in high leverage. He could also stretch back out into a starter's role at some point.
APRIL 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Zac Gallen - Fans three in no-decision Gallen did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits and one walk over six innings against the Padres. He struck out three.
Impact Homers allowed to Nelson Cruz and Xander Bogaerts put Arizona in an early hole. It's been a disappointing start to the season for Gallen, who sits with a 7.59 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB through two outings (10.2 innings). He only induced eight swinging strikes on 86 pitches Tuesday. The silver lining here is that he completed six innings after failing to make it out of the fifth on Opening Day. Keep in mind too that the opponents will get easier than the Dodgers and Padres.
