Diamondbacks delay clinching playoff berth as Vaughn, Moncada homer for White Sox in 3-1 win

The Arizona Diamondbacks delayed clinching an NL wild card berth, losing to the White Sox 3-1 on as Andrew Vaughn and Yoán Moncada homered for Chicago

Bryce Jarvis - Slated to open Thursday's gameJarvis is listed as the Diamondbacks' starting pitcher in Thursday's game against the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field, Jesse Friedman of ArizonaSports.com reports.

ImpactJarvis made 16 starts at Triple-A Reno this season, but each of his first nine big-league appearances with Arizona have come out of the bullpen. Though he'll draw his first MLB start Thursday, Jarvis hasn't covered more than 3.2 innings in any of his appearances with Arizona or Reno since the beginning of August, so he may not be asked to work especially deep into the contest. Even against a White Sox squad that ranks last in the majors with a 68 wRC+ in September, Jarvis doesn't make for an inspiring streaming option.

Jace Peterson - Takes seat ThursdayPeterson is not in the lineup Thursday against the White Sox.

ImpactEmmanuel Rivera will start at third base and bat eighth for the visiting Diamondbacks. Peterson handled the hot corner in the first two games of Arizona's three-game series at Chicago and went 0-for-7 with a walk and a stolen base.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. - Back in lineup ThursdayGurriel (shoulder) is starting in left field and batting sixth Thursday against the White Sox.

ImpactGurriel was scratched from the lineup Wednesday due to left shoulder tightness, but it has proven to be a minor issue and he is back in action for the Diamondbacks in Thursday's series finale versus Chicago. He went 3-for-5 with three singles and a run scored in Tuesday's series opener.

Elvis Andrus - Taking seat ThursdayAndrus is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Diamondbacks.

ImpactAndrus has been seeing most of the playing time at second base for the White Sox lately, but he'll yield to Lenyn Sosa for this one. The veteran infielder has collected a .674 OPS across 109 games for the Pale Hose this season.

Kevin Ginkel - Bypassed for eighth inningGinkel was not used in the eighth inning of Wednesday's 3-0 win over the White Sox.

ImpactGinkel has been the go-to reliever for the eighth inning of close games, but manager Torey Lovullo went with Ryan Thompson to shepherd the lead to closer Paul Sewald. The decision to not use Ginkel could be related to the reliever's most recent outing Monday, when he told the manager he was ready to pitch after throwing 28 pitches the previous day, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. What ensued was a blown eighth-inning lead and a loss in the middle of a playoff chase. "I'll take accountability for it," Ginkel said. "I was wanting to pitch; there's no question about it. I wasn't feeling great, for sure. After [Sunday], I threw quite a few pitches, and then again [Monday]." Ginkel has been stellar over the second half -- that's why Lovullo entrusts him with the eighth inning -- and will likely continue to pitch in that role, but Thompson may have entered the picture as a trusted high-leverage arm.
