89-73 · 2024 3RD IN NL WEST
Umpire Apologizes for Ejection of D-Backs' Madison Bumgarner Dan Bellino: “While I can’t go back and change what happened, I take full accountability.”
Sergio Alcántara - Designated for assignment Alcantara was designated for assignment Friday.
Impact The utility infielder hit .189/.200/.321 with one home run, 13 strikeouts and one walk in 57 plate appearances. Josh Rojas was activated from the injured list to take on a significant role in the infield.

Corbin Martin - Optioned to Triple-A Martin was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Friday.
Impact He had a 4.40 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB in 14.1 innings working as a long reliever with the big club. Marin will presumably stay relatively stretched out at Triple-A.
MAY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Mark Melancon - Activated before Friday's game Melancon (undisclosed) was activated from the injured list prior to Friday's game against the Rockies.
Impact Ian Kennedy notched three saves in three appearances over the last six days, so Melancon could have some competition for saves going forward, although he is the presumed top closer at this point.
MAY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Rojas - Activated Friday Rojas (oblique) was activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's game against the Rockies.
Impact He will presumably slot into the lineup after going 2-for-5 with a double, a steal, four walks and one strikeout in two rehab games. Rojas' power could be affected by the deadened baseball, but he should play almost every day and is eligible at several positions.

Josh Rojas - Rehabbing at Reno Rojas (oblique) has played two games as part of a rehab assignment for Triple-A Reno. He's 2-for-5 with four walks, a double, two RBI and a stolen base.
Impact Rojas served as the designated hitter Tuesday then third base Wednesday, each time playing nine innings. The Diamondbacks plan to welcome him back at some point during a homestand that kicks off Friday against the Rockies.
MAY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ketel Marte - Runs hit streak to five Marte went 2-for-2 with two walks, a double and two runs scored in Wednesday's 8-7 win over the Marlins.
Impact Marte is still stuck below .200, but he extended a hit streak to five games, during which he's 6-for-18 with five extra-base hits, three walks and six runs scored. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo has moved him around the order in effort to jumpstart the bat, and his recent run batting sixth against right-handers appears to have helped.
MAY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Corbin Martin - Throws bulk relief Martin allowed two runs on three hits and four walks while striking out three over four relief innings in Wednesday's 8-7 win over Miami.
Impact Martin didn't wake up knowing he'd be the bulk-inning pitcher Wednesday, but he was needed after Madison Bumgarner was ejected after the first inning. Forced to warm up on short notice, Martin walked two and gave up a single to the first three batters faced, and the first two runners eventually scored. The right-hander settled in after that, providing critical relief and allowing Arizona's bats to impact the game. It was the fourth time in five outings that Martin's thrown two innings or more.
MAY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Daulton Varsho - Homers in comeback win Varsho went 2-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 8-7 win over Miami.
Impact The Diamondbacks fought back twice from deficits to pull out a game in which starter Madison Bumgarner was ejected following the first inning. Varsho's two-run jack was part of the first comeback and completed a five-run fourth inning. It was his fifth home run and extended his hitting streak to four games. Arizona's leadoff batter spent the first two weeks of the season below .200, but Varsho's picked up the pace since, going 14-for-47 (.298) with six extra-base hits, seven RBI and nine runs scored over 13 games.

Diamondbacks overcome Madison Bumgarner's ejection to edge Marlins - The Boston Globe Bumgarner was tossed after the first inning over his objection to a foreign-substance check by first base umpire Dan Bellino.

Pavin Smith - Clubs game-winning homer Smith went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's 8-7 win over the Marlins.
Impact The 26-year-old delivered a solo homer during Tuesday's win over Miami, and he came through again Wednesday in the clutch with a two-run shot in the top of the ninth inning. Smith didn't homer through his first 18 games of the season, but he's 6-for-21 with three home runs and seven RBI across his past six contests.
MAY 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ian Kennedy - Notches third save Kennedy allowed one hit during a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save during Wednesday's 8-7 win at Miami. He had zero strikeouts and zero walks.
Impact The Diamondbacks rallied for two runs in the top of the ninth inning to take a one-run lead, and Kennedy was called upon for the save with Mark Melancon (illness) still on the COVID-19 IL. Kennedy gave up a one-out single but still retired the side with relative ease on 12 pitches. The veteran right-hander has converted saves in three straight appearances with Melancon out, while Joe Mantiply has one save in that stretch. Kennedy figures to move back to a setup role within the next few days when Melancon returns, but it appears he's the favorite for save chances should Melancon land on the injured list again later in the season.
