Jake McCarthy - Earns call to big-leagues McCarthy was called up from Triple-A Reno prior to Friday's game against the Phillies, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.

The outfielder clubbed nine homers while hitting .262/.330/.508 across 212 plate appearances with Reno, and it wouldn't be surprising if he's given an extended look during the final weeks of the big-league season.

Christian Walker - On base five times Walker went 4-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Thursday's 8-7 win over Philadelphia.
Impact The Pennsylvania native enjoyed his return home with a four-hit night in front of friends and family. While it was a good night for Walker, all four hits were singles. His .364 slugging and .679 OPS this season creates a situation where first base may be up for grabs in 2022.

Daulton Varsho - Enters for Marte Varsho entered Thursday's game during the sixth inning after Ketel Marte was removed due to a hip injury. He went 1-for-3 with a run scored in an 8-7 win over Philadelphia.
Impact Varsho also muffed a fly ball, which contributed to the Phillies' five-run ninth inning. Marte is considered day-to-day, but it will be key to see how the hip responds Friday. If he misses significant time, it will provide a path to consistent at-bats for Varsho, who is blocked at catcher by Carson Kelly.

Noé Ramirez - Claims first save Ramirez allowed an unearned run on one hit and one walk while striking out one over a third of an inning to earn the save in Thursday's 8-7 win over the Phillies.
Impact The Diamondbacks entered the ninth inning with an 8-2 lead, but shaky relief pitching and two fielding errors let Philadelphia back in. It was 8-5 with one runner one and two out when Ramirez entered. He walked the first batter faced, which was followed by a passed ball and a two-run single. Ramirez finally closed out the game with a three-pitch (all changeups) strikeout of Brad Miller. It was Ramirez's first save of the season and second of his career. It's unclear why manager Torey Lovullo eschewed Tyler Clippard for the save chance.

Gallen will look to continue this recent success as he is tentatively scheduled to start next week at home against the Padres.

Ketel Marte - Dealing with hip discomfort Marte exited Thursday's game against the Phillies with right hip discomfort.
Impact It's not clear how Marte suffered the injury, or how likely he is to miss extended time. Marte has missed over two months with a pair of hamstring injuries this season, so the team may opt to rest him regularly even if he avoids a serious issue.
