Drives in five Fletcher went 2-for-4 with a home run, a triple and five RBI in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Giants.

Impact Fletcher drove in every Arizona run that wasn't scored on a wild pitch in the contest. He put the Diamondbacks ahead with a bases-loaded triple in the sixth inning, then added some insurance with a two-run homer in the eighth. He's carving up Giants pitching in this weekend series, going 8-for-12 (.667) with 11 RBI over the last three games. The 24-year-old has seized a near-everyday role in May, and he's slashing .462/.488/.744 with two homers, 13 RBI and five runs scored over his first 12 big-league games.

Delivers three-hit night Fletcher went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Thursday's 6-2 loss against the Giants.

Impact Fletcher drove in the only two runs of the night for Arizona with a ninth-inning single. It was his third hit of the night. The rookie has started in eight of the 10 games Arizona has played since he was called up. He has yet to hit a homer, but he has an excellent .419 batting average to start his career.

Heads to bench Wednesday Fletcher is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Following his promotion from Triple-A Reno on April 30, Fletcher sat out that day but proceeded to make starts out of the outfield in each of the next seven games, going 9-for-25 with a 2:6 BB:K. Fletcher benefited in part from the Diamondbacks facing a lefty-heavy schedule, and while he should be a mainstay in the lineup versus southpaws, consistent playing time against right-handers could be more difficult to come by while Arizona is at full strength in the outfield.

Keeps starting, hitting Fletcher went 2-for-4 and was caught stealing in Sunday's 9-8 loss to Washington.

Impact Fletcher made a fifth consecutive start and has hit safely in all six appearances (9-for-21) since being called up from Triple-A Reno. He was originally added following Corbin Carroll's knee injury and continues to start while the Diamondbacks ease Carroll back into the lineup at DH. On Sunday, Fletcher started in center field for Alek Thomas, who trails all rostered Diamondbacks with a .192 average. Thomas is the more highly regarded prospect, but if the organization wants get him straightened out at Reno, Fletcher has experience at all outfield positions, including center field, in the minors.

Makes third straight start Fletcher started in left field and went 1-for-4 in Friday's 3-1 win over the Nationals.

Impact Fletcher was in the starting lineup for a third straight game. With Corbin Carroll returning from a knee injury, it had been assumed Fletcher's run in the starting lineup would end, but it was Lourdes Gurriel who made way for Carroll's return Friday. Fletcher has hit safely in all four games (5-for-14) since being called up from Triple-A Reno.

Starts again Fletcher started in right field and went 1-for-5 with an RBI in Wednesday's 12-7 loss to Texas.

Impact Fletcher was given a second consecutive start in right field for the injured Corbin Carroll (knee), but his run in the starting nine could end Friday. Carroll ran in the outfield prior to the game and served as a pinch hitter, getting two at-bats during the Diamondbacks' five-run seventh inning. Arizona is off Thursday before returning to action Friday against Washington.

Getting start Fletcher will start in right field and bat sixth Wednesday against the Rangers.

Impact Fletcher is receiving a second straight start while Corbin Carroll (knee) recuperates. The rookie reached base three times and plated a run in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to Texas.

Knocks in run Fletcher started in right field and went 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Fletcher, who made his first MLB start Tuesday, has appeared in both games since being called up from Triple-A Reno on Sunday. His opportunities should dry up when Corbin Carroll (knee) becomes available. That could happen Wednesday, after Carroll received a positive MRI result and took batting practice Tuesday. Fletcher is another lefty bat in an outfield dominated by left-handed hitters.

Makes MLB debut Fletcher went 1-for-2 with a double in Sunday's 12-4 loss to Colorado.

Impact Fletcher, who was called up from Triple-A Reno earlier in the day, made his MLB debut, coming off the bench to play the final three innings in right field. He doubled in his first plate appearance. Fletcher, the younger brother of Angels infielder David Fletcher, will provide outfield depth while Corbin Carroll deals with a contusion of his left knee.

Officially added to MLB roster Arizona recalled Fletcher from Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

Impact Fletcher officially is added to the Arizona roster to provide some depth in the outfield, which became more necessary after Corbin Carroll went down with a knee injury in Saturday's game against the Rockies. Fletcher hit .323 with a .976 OPS while adding three homers and a steal over 93 plate appearances with Triple-A Reno prior to the promotion.

APRIL 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Being recalled from Triple-A The Diamondbacks will recall Fletcher from Triple-A Reno on Sunday, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

Impact No corresponding transaction has been announced, but this very well could be related to the health of Corbin Carroll after Carroll left Saturday's game with a knee bruise sustained while colliding with the left-field wall. In 93 at-bats thus far with Reno, Fletcher has hit .323 with three homers and a steal while registering a .976 OPS.

Optioned to Triple-A Fletcher was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

Impact Fletcher spent most of last season in Triple-A as well, slashing .301/.368/.447 across 449 plate appearances. If he is able to produce similar numbers to begin the 2023 season, there is a good chance he makes his major-league debut at some point, though he would have to compete with Corbin Carroll, Alek Thomas and Jake McCarthy for time in the D-backs' outfield.
