David Peralta - Scratched from lineup Peralta (back) was a late scratch from Wednesday's lineup against the Padres.
Impact Peralta was originally expected to return from his back injury, but he appears to still be dealing with lower-back tightness. The Diamondbacks have an off day Thursday, which potentially influenced their decision to keep him out one more day. Peralta was replaced in the lineup by Jordan Luplow and can be considered day-to-day.

Jordan Luplow - Added to Wednesday's lineup Luplow was added to the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
Impact The 28-year-old was initially slated to get a day off Wednesday but will start in left field and bat sixth after David Peralta (back) was a late scratch. Luplow went 1-for-11 with a two-run homer, a walk and four strikeouts over the last three games.

Buddy Kennedy - Not starting Wednesday Kennedy (wrist) isn't starting Wednesday against the Padres, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Kennedy was removed from Tuesday's game against San Diego due to left wrist discomfort and isn't in the lineup a day later. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench.
JUNE 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Carson Kelly - Resting Wednesday Kelly is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Padres, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Kelly will get a day off Wednesday after he started the last two contests and went 1-for-9 with a double. Jose Herrera will draw the start at catcher and bat ninth in the series finale.
JUNE 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ketel Marte - Not in Wednesday's lineup Marte isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Padres, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Marte returned to the lineup Tuesday against San Diego and went 0-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts. He'll get a breather while Jake Hager starts at the keystone and bats eighth.

David Peralta - Returns to lineup Peralta (back) is starting Wednesday's game against the Padres, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Peralta didn't appear in either of the last two games due to lower-back tightness, but he'll start in left field and bat fifth Wednesday. He went 4-for-15 with three doubles, three runs, two RBI and a stolen base over his last four games.

Nick Ahmed - Done for the year Ahmed underwent shoulder surgery June 15 and will miss the remainder of the season, Nick Piecoro of Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Ahmed has been dealing with shoulder issues since late in the 2021 season but put off surgery as long as possible. Non-invasive treatments provided ephemeral relief, so the shortstop eventually agreed to undergo surgery. Geraldo Perdomo will hold down shortstop for the rest of the season.

Luke Weaver - Will serve as reliever Weaver will be available as a reliever in coming days, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Weaver joined the five-man rotation last week but was shelled by the Twins on Saturday. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo confirmed the right-hander did not throw an in-between-starts bullpen session Tuesday, signaling that he will not start the next time the fifth starter's turn comes due this weekend. The Diamondbacks have days off in the coming weeks that would allow them to go with four starters, but Lovullo also confirmed that he would like to give the top four starters rest and is "targeting someone this weekend" to start against the Tigers. That "someone" could be Dallas Keuchel, who impressed decision-makers in a seven-inning outing at the Arizona Complex League on Monday.

Dallas Keuchel - Impresses, may start Saturday Keuchel went seven innings in an outing for the Diamondbacks' affiliate in the Arizona Complex League and could make a start this weekend for Arizona, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona R...
Impact Arizona manager Torey Lovullo described the outing as "extremely good," while pitching coach Brent Strom marveled at the swings and misses on pitches in the zone. Beyond the veteran lefty making rookies look foolish, there are other signs that point to Keuchel joining the team's five-man rotation as soon as Saturday. Another potential candidate, Luke Weaver, who was roughed up in a start Saturday, did not throw a bullpen session Tuesday. That would have been the day to throw on a normal starter's routine. Instead, Lovullo confirmed Weaver will be available as a reliever in the coming days. The manager added the team is "targeting someone this weekend" to start against the Tigers without naming Keuchel. Adding to the speculation, Keuchel's minor-league deal includes three opt-out dates if he's not promoted -- the first opt-out date is Saturday.

Ketel Marte - No hits in return Marte (hamstring) went 0-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts in Tuesday's 3-2 extra-innings loss to the Padres.
Impact Marte didn't get on base until the 11th inning, and he was promptly lifted for a pinch runner (pitcher Luke Weaver). Marte missed four games before serving as the designated hitter Tuesday, and he may need to stick in that role for a little longer before returning to his regular position at second base. He's now batting .264 on the year after Tuesday's lackluster performance at the dish.

Jordan Luplow - Hits inside-the-park homer Luplow went 1-for-4 with a two-run inside-the-park home run and a walk in Tuesday's 3-2 extra-innings loss to the Padres.
Impact Luplow opened the scoring with hustle in the third inning, with his hit to center field bouncing away from Trent Grisham. While it wasn't the most conventional of homers, it was Luplow's 10th of the year in 42 contests, putting him just five shy of his career high in long balls. The outfielder has added a paltry .171 batting average and .279 on-base percentage, but he's slugging .476 with 20 RBI, 20 runs scored, four stolen bases and a pair of doubles this year. As long as David Peralta (back) is on the shelf, Luplow should pick up additional playing time.

Zac Gallen - Strikes out 11 in no-decision Gallen allowed two runs on five hits and three walks with 11 strikeouts across six innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Tuesday.
Impact Gallen was strong in this outing, though the three walks matched his season high. He gave up an RBI double to Ha-Seong Kim in the third inning and a solo home run to Eric Hosmer in the sixth. Gallen has logged quality starts in three of his last four outings, though he doesn't have a win to show for it in that span. He's pitched well in 2022 with a 2.92 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 71:19 K:BB through 71 innings overall across 13 starts. The right-hander is projected for a rematch at home versus the Padres next week.

Buddy Kennedy - Exits with wrist injury Kennedy was removed from Tuesday's game against the Padres with left wrist discomfort.
Impact Kennedy appeared to tweak something when he struck out swinging during the top of fourth inning, and he was replaced in the field for the bottom of the frame. The severity of the 23-year-old's wrist injury remains unclear, and he should be considered day-to-day until his status is updated.
JUNE 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Pavin Smith - Not starting Tuesday Smith will sit Tuesday against San Diego.
Impact Smith has three hits across his last two games, though that follows a seven-game stretch in which he went 0-for-21. Ketel Marte (hamstring) will return to the lineup as the designated hitter Tuesday while Christian Walker starts at first base.
JUNE 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
David Peralta - Remains out Peralta (back) remains on the bench Tuesday against the Padres.
Impact Peralta was a late scratch Monday due to lower-back tightness, and he'll remain on the bench for at least one more game. Jordan Luplow will make another start in left field.
JUNE 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Rojas - Resting Tuesday Rojas will sit Tuesday against the Pirates.
Impact Rojas sits after starting 12 straight games, a stretch in which he hit just .216/.2732/.333. Jake Hager will get the nod at the hot corner Tuesday.
JUNE 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ketel Marte - Re-enters lineup as DH Marte (hamstring) will serve as Arizona's designated hitter and No. 3 batter in Tuesday's game in San Diego.
Impact Though he'll be eased back into action in a non-defensive role, Marte demonstrated enough progress in his recovery from a left hamstring strain to put an end to his four-game absence. Arizona will likely see how Marte's hamstring responds to any baserunning he might do Tuesday before deciding whether he's fit to return to the field at his normal spot at second base in Wednesday's series finale.
