ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS NEWS

Ketel Marte - Injury may not be serious Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Marte's hamstring does not warrant a trip to the injured list, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Marte was removed from Sunday's game in Colorado during the ninth inning when he felt tightness in his left hamstring. Lovullo said there are no plans for Marte to undergo imaging, a sign that the team feels the injury is not serious. The Diamondbacks noted this was the third time Marte injured his hamstring while playing in Denver, and Lovullo said the second baseman will likely get one day off every time the team travels to Colorado. The Diamondbacks will be in Denver for a third and final time from Sept. 9 through 11.

Christian Walker - Reaches four times in loss Walker went 1-for-1 with a solo home run and three walks Monday in a loss to the Giants.

Impact Arizona had trouble producing offense in the contest, but that was no fault of Walker's. The first baseman drew three free passes and hit a massive 461-foot solo shot during his one official at-bat. Walker has been fantastic through 14 games in August, slashing .360/.431/.760 with five homers, 16 RBI and a 6:6 BB:K. He's tied for sixth in the majors with 28 long balls on the campaign.

Madison Bumgarner - Shelled by former club Bumgarner (6-12) took the loss against San Francisco on Monday, allowing six runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six batters over 5.2 innings.

Impact Bumgarner will forever be a part of Giants lore due to his epic postseason performances and three World Series rings with the club, but his former team took no mercy on him Monday. The southpaw was knocked around for four extra-base hits (three doubles, a homer) and gave up his most earned runs in an appearance this season. Bumgarner has taken the loss in three of his past four outings, posting a 7.33 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and 16:8 K:BB in 23.1 innings over that stretch.

Geraldo Perdomo - Gets breather Monday Perdomo is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

Impact Perdomo doubled and scored in Sunday's game, but that was the only hit he tallied over his last five games, so manager Torey Lovullo decided to hold him out Monday. Sergio Alcantara will start at shortstop in Perdomo's place.

Daulton Varsho - Leading off Monday Varshow (jaw) is in the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

Impact Varsho was removed from Sunday's game after being struck by a ball on his face, but he will not wind up missing any further action. Varsho has not hit leadoff since June 24, but he will occupy the top spot in the order Monday night and will get the start in right field.

Daulton Varsho - Leaves with jaw injury Varsho was removed from Sunday's win over the Rockies after a ball tossed to him unexpectedly hit him in the jaw.

Impact The ball was tossed to Varsho as outfielders ran to the dugout after the top of the fifth inning, but he was not expecting it and was struck in the jaw. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Varsho could have continued playing but was removed as a precaution. That likely means he was evaluated for a concussion. Jordan Luplow replaced him in right field to open the sixth.

Ketel Marte - Leaves with hamstring injury Marte was removed from Sunday's win over the Rockies in the ninth inning with tightness in his left hamstring after running the bases. The severity is unclear.

Impact Marte has oft-injured hamstrings, and the Diamondbacks are expected to evaluate the second baseman ahead of Monday's series opener in San Francisco. Marte injured a hamstring in June and was limited to DH-only duty for about a month before playing the field again after the All-Star break.

Walker leads Diamondbacks against the Giants after 4-hit outing

The Arizona Diamondbacks take on the San Francisco Giants after Christian Walker had four hits against the Rockies on Sunday

AUGUST 15, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Christian Walker - Slugs three extra-base hits Walker went 4-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, a run and four RBI in a 7-4 victory over Colorado on Sunday.

Impact Walker opened the scoring with an RBI double in the first inning, connected on a 460-foot three run home run in the third, singled in the fifth and doubled again in the ninth for his first four-hit game of the season. The outburst comes on the heels of reaching base four times Tuesday, as the 31-year-old is 10-for-21 with three walks across his last six games. The long ball was Walker's 27th and pulls him into a tie with Anthony Rizzo for eighth most in MLB.

Jake McCarthy - Notches two more thefts McCarthy went 1-for-3 with a walk, run, RBI and two stolen bases in a 7-4 win against the Rockies on Sunday.

Impact McCarthy walked and stole second in the second inning before doubling in a run, stealing third and scoring in the fourth. The 25-year-old has collected five of his nine steals in August, though the double was his first extra-base hit of the month as he's slashing a mediocre .225/.326/.250 across 11 games.

AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ian Kennedy - Secures eighth save Kennedy saved Sunday's 7-4 win against the Rockies, walking one while recording one strikeout in the ninth inning.

Impact Pitching for the second time in two days, Kennedy was brought in for the ninth inning of a three-run game and was forced to work harder than expected after an error on a potentially game-ending double play brought the tying run to the plate. The 37-year-old proceeded to induce a deep C.J. Cron lineout and struck out Elehuris Montero to close out the victory. Kennedy has now converted four saves this month and lowered his ERA to 2.97 with the successful appearance.

Tommy Henry - Goes 5.1 innings in win Henry (2-1) earned the win during Sunday's 7-4 victory over Colorado, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks with three strikeouts in 5.1 innings.

Impact Henry breezed through five frames -- retiring 10 straight Rockies at one point -- before permitting four baserunners and all three runs in the sixth, prompting his removal. The 25-year-old fired 61 of 89 pitches for strikes but induced only four of the swinging variety and has struck out three batters in each of his three turns. Henry has now tallied consecutive wins and possesses a 4.15 ERA and 1.21 WHIP across 17.1 innings.

Josh Rojas - Fills stat sheet Saturday Rojas went 3-for-5 with a home run, a stolen base and three RBI in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Rockies.

Impact Rojas accounted for half of the Diamondbacks' offense with a two-run home run in the fifth inning and an RBI single in the ninth. He also logged a steal after a single in the seventh. The 28-year-old hadn't gone yard since July 27, but he's up to three steals in August. For the season, Rojas sports a .276/.348/.410 slash line, seven homers, 35 RBI, 46 runs scored and 14 steals through 333 plate appearances. He's seen most of his playing time at third base this year, but the versatile defender could move around the diamond if manager Torey Lovullo opts to get the hot-hitting Emmanuel Rivera in the lineup more often.

AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Emmanuel Rivera - Knocks pair of solo shots Rivera went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs and a walk in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Rockies.

Impact Rivera is picking up his power pace -- he's hit safely in his last six games, logging four homers and three doubles while going 9-for-19 (.474). For perspective, he had all of six long balls in 63 contests with the Royals to begin the year. The third baseman is up to a .253/.304/.466 slash line with 10 homers, 28 RBI, 32 runs scored, 11 doubles and three triples through 237 plate appearances this year. Rivera sees roughly half of the playing time at the hot corner, while the more defensively versatile Josh Rojas gets the rest of it, though that balance could change if the former stays productive at the plate.

Zac Gallen - Dominant in win Gallen (8-2) earned the win Saturday over the Rockies. He allowed two hits and one walk while striking out six over seven shutout innings.

Impact Gallen's won four of his last five starts, and three of them have featured the right-hander spinning seven scoreless frames. It's the second time in four starts he's blanked the Rockies this year. Gallen has given up three runs, 11 hits and six walks while striking out 19 through 19.2 innings in August. He owns a 2.94 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 120:35 K:BB through 125.1 innings this year, and he'll look to keep his momentum up next week in a projected road start versus the Giants.
