The outfielder hasn't had a lot of success at the plate with a .183/.287/.495 slash line, but he's managed nine homers, 18 RBI, 19 runs scored and four stolen bases across 108 plate appearances. He's likely to make most of his starts against left-handed pitchers in the short side of a platoon with David Peralta in left field.

Impact Luplow will make his second straight start out of the leadoff spot against a southpaw pitcher (Mike Minor) after he went 0-for-2 with three walks while scoring three times against the Phillies and southpaw Ranger Suarez in Sunday's 13-1 win. He'll be filling in for David Peralta in left field, but Luplow still looks to be stuck in a short-side platoon role.

Smacks double in return Luplow (foot) went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Pirates.

Impact Luplow missed a week after foiling a ball off his foot, logging just one pinch hitting appearance in that span. The outfielder was able record a hit Saturday, one of four in the game for the Diamondbacks. He's slashing only .176/.253/.471 with six home runs, 13 RBI, 10 runs scored, three stolen bases and two doubles in 75 plate appearances this year, so he'll likely be limited to a reserve role with most of his starts coming against left-handed pitchers.

Starts against righty Luplow will serve as Arizona's designated hitter and No. 7 batter in Thursday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Luplow has mostly operated as a short-side platoon player for Arizona this season, but he'll find himself in the lineup against a right-handed pitcher (Marcus Stroman) as the Diamondbacks open a four-game set in Chicago. With Cooper Hummel (illness) on the COVID-19-related injured list, Luplow could be in store for a brief run as an everyday player.
