Tyler Gilbert - Solid in short start Gilbert allowed a run on four hits and a walk with two strikeouts in 3.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Tuesday.

Impact The lone run against Gilbert was a sacrifice fly by Joc Pederson in the fourth inning. While he didn't pitch deep into Tuesday's game, throwing 34 strikes among 56 pitches, Gilbert put in a solid effort for a spot starter. He has a 6.86 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 16:7 K:BB across 19.2 innings overall at the big-league level in 2022. If he remains in the rotation, he's lined up for a home start versus the Rockies this weekend.

Daulton Varsho - Out of Tuesday's lineup Varsho is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

Impact Varsho is 6-for-14 with a home run, six RBI, three runs and a stolen base over his past four games, but he'll head to the bench Tuesday with lefty Alex Wood pitching for San Francisco. Jordan Luplow will start in right field and bat leadoff for Arizona.

Tyler Gilbert - Called up for Tuesday's start Gilbert was recalled from Triple-A Reno to start Tuesday versus the Giants.

Impact The Diamondbacks are in need of an extra starter with Zach Davies (shoulder) on the injured list, and Gilbert will receive the call to start Tuesday. The left-hander has struggled through four big-league outings this year with a 7.88 ERA across 16 innings, but a strong showing against San Francisco could earn him another turn through the rotation.

Jordan Lawlar - Gets call to High-A The Diamondbacks promoted Lawlar from Single-A Visalia to High-A Hillsboro on Monday.

Impact He made his debut for Hillsboro later Monday, going 1-for-4 with a stolen base, an RBI and a run. The 20-year-old was bumped up a level after he slashed .365/.461/.623 with eight home runs and 23 stolen bases across 191 plate appearances with Visalia. Regarded as one of the top prospects in the lower levels of the minors, Lawlar is an excellent asset in dynasty leagues and should make a push for the majors by the 2024 season, if not sooner.

Madison Bumgarner - Collects fourth win Bumgarner (4-8) picked up the win in Monday's 8-3 victory over the Giants, giving up three runs on five hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out four.

Impact The former San Francisco ace wasn't at his sharpest, tossing 60 of 100 pitches for strikes, but Bumgarner pitched just well enough to earn the win. The 32-year-old has lasted more than five innings only once in his last six starts, posting a lackluster 4.50 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 24:11 K:BB through 30 innings over that stretch.

Buddy Kennedy - Drives in two in win Kennedy went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 8-3 win over San Francisco.

Impact Kennedy's first-inning single plated two runners and tied the game after the Giants grabbed a lead in the top of the frame. While the Diamondbacks play it safe with Ketel Marte -- he's served as the designated hitter since sustaining a hamstring injury two weeks ago -- Kennedy has become the primary second baseman, making eight consecutive starts. Since joining Arizona mid-June, Kennedy has driven in 10 runs over 14 games.

Cooper Hummel - Active in win Hummel started in left field and went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Monday's 8-3 win over the Giants.

Impact Hummel was recently called up, giving Arizona another right-handed bat -- he's a switch hitter -- to deploy against the southpaws, like San Francisco's Carlos Rodon. The 27-year-old outfielder batted .178 during his first MLB stint in 2022, but after a productive stretch at Triple-A Reno, Hummel has hit in three consecutive games with two stolen bases.

JULY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Daulton Varsho - Delivers more runs Varsho went 3-for-4 with three RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 8-3 win over San Francisco.

Impact Varsho delivered the final three runs for the Diamondbacks, giving them a comfortable cushion in the late innings. Lately, if runners get on base in front of him, Varsho is driving them in; the outfielder has 10 RBI over the last eight games. Varsho now has 38 RBI over 73 contests, tying the career high set last season in 95 games.

Tyler Gilbert - Earns spot start Gilbert will be called up to start Tuesday's game against the Giants, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Gilbert was hit hard in his last outing with the big-league club, surrendering seven runs (six earned) on five hits and two walks while fanning two over 1.2 frames against the Reds. It's worth noting that he's given up three runs or fewer in his last four minor-league starts since that nightmare performance, but the Giants will be a tough test for the 28-year-old southpaw.

Ian Kennedy - Heads to injured list Kennedy was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday with right calf inflammation.

Impact It was thought that Kennedy was dealing only with cramping in his leg, but it turns out he is dealing with an injury that will sideline him at least through the All-Star break. Mark Melancon will be the favorite to close if the Diamondbacks find themselves needing to protect a late lead during Kennedy's absence.

Alek Thomas - Absent from Monday's lineup Thomas is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

David Peralta - Not part of Monday's lineup Peralta is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

Impact Peralta went 9-for-23 (.391) with three home runs and eight RBI over his last seven games, but as is generally a case when a left-hander is on the mound for the opponent, he will open on the bench with Carlos Rodon taking the ball for the Giants. Cooper Hummel will cover left field in Peralta's place.
