Kenley Jansen - Picks up win in return Jansen (5-0) earned the victory Sunday, striking out a batter in one inning while walking one in a 1-0 win over Arizona.

Impact Jansen (back) entered a scoreless tie in the top of the ninth inning and Atlanta walked it off in the bottom half of the inning to secure the win for the closer. Jansen was unavailable Saturday after feeling a twinge in his back Friday but was feeling well enough Sunday to enter a tied game in the ninth. Since returning from a stint on the injured list with an irregular heartbeat, he's 4-for-4 in save chances and has allowed two runs in 6.2 innings while striking out seven.

Max Fried - Excellent in no-decision Fried struck out five in seven scoreless innings, allowing four hits and two walks in a 1-0 win Sunday against Arizona. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Fried did not allow a hit until Jake McCarthy singled with one out in the fifth inning. He was never really in trouble as only one baserunner made it into scoring position. The lefty has given up more than three runs in a start only twice all season and has a stunning 2.58 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 122:24 K:BB in 132.1 innings while allowing just six homers. His next start will likely be next weekend in New York against the Mets.

Guillermo Heredia - Seeing scarce playing time Heredia remains on the bench for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Heredia has picked up only three starts since June 2, and his playing-time outlook doesn't look to have improved even after Adam Duvall suffered a season-ending wrist injury. So long as all of Ronald Acuna, Eddie Rosario, Marcell Ozuna, Michael Harris and William Contreras are healthy, Heredia doesn't look like he'll have a path for even short-side platoon work out of the Atlanta outfield.

Orlando Arcia - Starting again Sunday Arcia is starting at second base and batting eighth Sunday versus Arizona.

Impact It's the third consecutive start for Arcia, and the second straight to come against a right-handed pitcher with Merrill Kelly on the mound Sunday for Arizona. Robinson Cano has the platoon advantage but has a .377 OPS through nine games with Atlanta, so it appears Arcia is back as the primary option at the keystone.

Robinson Canó - Remains on bench Cano is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact The 39-year-old has started only three of eight games coming out of the All-Star break, and he's on the bench again Sunday despite Arizona sending out righty Merrill Kelly. Cano has a .154/.185/.192 slash line through nine games for Atlanta. Orlando Arcia will receive another start at the keystone and appears to be the favorite for starts going forward.

Marcell Ozuna - Steps out of lineup Ozuna is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Ozuna started the first eight games out of the All-Star break and will receive Sunday off after posting a .509 OPS and 34.4 percent strikeout rate during that stretch. William Contreras will take over as Atlanta's designated hitter Sunday.

Matt Olson - Crushes another homer Olson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Olson opened the scoring with a two-out homer in the first inning. The first baseman had been rather unlucky in the power department early in the season, but he's turned it around in July with nine homers through 25 games this month. For the season, he has 21 long balls, 67 RBI, 48 runs scored, 35 doubles and a .253/.340/.503 slash line through 102 contests.

William Contreras - Slugs two homers in win Contreras went 3-for-4 with a pair of home runs and three RBI in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Contreras went yard in his first two at-bats. He hit a two-run blast in the second inning and a solo shot in the fourth. Entering Saturday, the catcher had gone just 4-for-24 with no extra-base hits in his last seven contests. The powerful display of offense in this game gives Contreras 13 homers, 26 RBI, 26 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases with a .263/.349/.551 slash line through a career-high 189 plate appearances.

JULY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ian Anderson - Dominant in Saturday's win Anderson (9-6) earned the win Saturday over the Diamondbacks. He allowed a hit and a walk while striking out nine over six scoreless innings.

Impact Anderson gave up both baserunners in the fifth inning, but he was able to strand runners on the corners. Atlanta's offense gave him enough support to weather a shaky ninth inning from A.J. Minter, resulting in Anderson's third win in five July starts. The right-hander allowed 11 runs in 24.2 innings, though it's worse than it looks -- the Angels tagged him for seven runs last Sunday. For the season, he owns a 4.99 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 90:49 K:BB across 101 innings in 20 starts. He's projected for a tough road start versus the Mets next week.

Kenley Jansen - Unavailable Saturday Jansen is unavailable for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks due to a back injury, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jansen felt a twinge in his back during Friday's relief appearance, and he'll rest for at least one game. However, his injury isn't considered significant, so he should be considered day-to-day. If Atlanta encounters a save situation Saturday, A.J. Minter and Will Smith will likely be the top options to fill in as the closer.

Travis d'Arnaud - Out of Saturday's lineup D'Arnaud is not in Saturday's lineup against the Diamondbacks.
