Great American Ball Park, Cincinnati, OH
The wrong bat and an IL stint behind him, Joey Votto is ready: "I don't think I'm very far off"In recent years, Joey Votto has had before-and-after phases to his season. He may be entering one of his dangerous "after" periods now.
Nick Senzel - Late scratch with back injurySenzel was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Diamondbacks due to a lower-back strain, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
ImpactSenzel was penciled in to bat leadoff Wednesday but was scratched while the start of the contest delayed due to rain. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but it's a troublesome development given the 26-year-old's extensive injury history.

Brandon Drury - Scratched with Achilles issueDrury was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Reds due to right Achilles soreness, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
ImpactDrury is in the midst of a seven-game hit streak during which he has a .444/.464/.778 OPS with three home runs, and it's unclear when the Achilles issue first surfaced. Alejo Lopez will enter the lineup in his place and start at the keystone, pushing Matt Reynolds to third base.

Alejo Lopez - Added to Wednesday's lineupLopez was added to the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
ImpactThe 26-year-old was initially slated to be out of the lineup for the fourth time in the last five games, but he'll join the starting nine after Brandon Drury (Achilles) was scratched just under an hour before the scheduled first pitch. Lopez will start at the keystone and bat second Wednesday.

Nick Ahmed - Shifts to 60-day ILThe Diamondbacks transferred Ahmed to the 60-day injured list Wednesday while he contends with right shoulder inflammation.
ImpactAhmed was initially deactivated May 17 without the Diamondbacks applying an injury designation, an indication that he was out for COVID-19-related protocols. He resumed baseball activities just over a week later, but he was recently shut down after experiencing renewed discomfort in his shoulder. Ahmed opened the season on the IL on account of a shoulder problem and dealt with the issue late in 2021, so the Diamondbacks may have decided a prolonged shutdown was the best option to allow the inflammation to subside. Geraldo Perdomo now appears poised to serve as Arizona's everyday shortstop through the All-Star break while Ahmed is on the shelf.

Tyler Gilbert - Demoted after rough startThe Diamondbacks optioned Gilbert to Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.
ImpactGilbert's demotion comes as little surprise after he was blasted for seven runs (six earned) on five hits and two walks over 1.2 innings in Tuesday's 14-8 loss to the Reds. The Diamondbacks still have a need for a No. 5 starter while Humberto Castellanos (elbow) is on the shelf, but the newly signed Dallas Keuchel or Caleb Smith look like the frontrunners for the job when Gilbert's next turn in the rotation comes up this weekend in Philadelphia.
