ImpactTaillon would have taken the ball against the Pirates had he remained on regular rest, but the Cubs announced their starters for the three-game set Monday, and Taillon was not among them. It remains to be seen if he will be pushed back or skipped altogether, but don't expect to see him on the mound until Friday at the earliest.

MLB Playoff Watch: Which contenders boast the best October rotations?

Christian Walker - Contributes but still slumpingWalker went 0-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Cubs.

ImpactWalker was part of Arizona's three-run first inning, knocking in a run on a fielder's choice then scoring what turned out to be the winning run. The Diamondbacks' RBI leader delivered runs in each of the last two games, after going eight straight games without driving in a run. Walker is batting .180 (11-for-61) over 17 games in September.

Bryce Jarvis - Finishes off CubsJarvis struck out one over two scoreless innings in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Cubs.

ImpactJarvis was the last of four Arizona relievers in support of starter Ryne Nelson, who was yanked after 3.1 innings (75 pitches, 40 strikes). The bullpen combined for 6.2 shutout innings, as the Diamondbacks swept the Cubs and leapfrogged them in the wild card race. Jarvis, who was called up Sunday, can provide length should the club need a starter over the final 11 games.
