Fills in for Marte Reddick replaced an injured Ketel Marte (hamstring) in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to Milwaukee. He went 0-for-2 with a walk.

Impact Reddick entered the game as a pinch runner when Marte pulled up after hitting a ground-rule double in the first inning. He played right field while Pavin Smith moved from right to center. Hamstrings have been a recurring issue for Marte this season, so the Diamondbacks will want to make sure he's 100 percent. This could be a path to everyday at-bats for Reddick.

Sitting versus righty again Reddick is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

Impact For the third time in five games, Reddick finds himself on the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher (Freddy Peralta). The 21-53 Diamondbacks don't have much to gain by handing extensive playing time to a 34-year-old on an expiring contract, so Reddick will most likely continue to lose work to Pavin Smith and Josh Rojas in the corner outfield as the season unfolds.

Laces three singles Reddick went 3-for-5 with a run and three RBI in a 9-8 loss to the Dodgers on Sunday.

Impact Reddick recorded singles in the second, sixth and eighth innings, igniting a six-run near-comeback in the eighth. He'd been mired in a slump that saw his average dip from .333 on June 5 to .253 prior to Sunday's game, so Reddick will look to use the performance as a launching pad.

Not in Friday's lineup Reddick will sit Friday against the Angels.

Impact Reddick sits even with a righty (Shohei Ohtani) set to take the mound for the Angels. He's gone just 2-for-18 at the plate over his last seven games. Pavin Smith will start in right field in his absence.

Sits versus righty Reddick is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Reddick has been getting regular work against right-handers of late, but he'll still receive Sunday off even with Corbin Burnes on the bump for Milwaukee. Pavin Smith checks in for Reddick in right field.

Doubles in loss Reddick went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 7-5 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Reddick was back in the starting lineup Saturday and posted his sixth multi-hit game in 12 games as a starter. He had Pavin Smith are sharing right field, although recently both have been in the lineup against right-handers with Smith filling in at first base for Christian Walker (.167 against righties).

Out against lefty Reddick is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Impact The lefty-hitting Reddick will sit with a southpaw (David Peterson) on the hill for the Mets, but the veteran outfielder should enjoy near-everyday reps against right-handed pitching while he continues to wield a hot bat. In his first 12 games with Arizona, Reddick is hitting .370 with seven doubles, six RBI and four runs, but he has yet to draw a walk in 46 plate appearances and has benefited from a .436 BABIP.

Walks off Mets Reddick went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Mets.

Impact Reddick played hero for the night, as he doubled in two runs in the bottom of the 10th inning for a walkoff victory. He's done nothing but hit since the Diamondbacks selected his contract from Triple-A Reno and has multiple hits over four consecutive starts (11-for-20). It was thought that he and Pavin Smith would have to share right field after Christian Walker came off the injured list, but the two lefty hitters have been in the lineup the last two games against right-handed starters while the righty-hitting Walker took a seat.

Records three hits Reddick went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Monday's loss to the Mets.

Impact Reddick might have debuted late in the season but has undoubtedly provided a spark for the Diamondbacks' offense so far, hitting safely in all but three of his 11 games while recording three-hit performances in three of his last four contests. The sample size is small, but the veteran outfielder is hitting .366 with a .878 OPS after his first 41 plate appearances this season.

Three hits in win Reddick went 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Sunday's 9-2 win over St. Louis.

Impact Reddick, who had his second consecutive three-hit start, has been one of the Diamondbacks' hotter hitters during the team's 13-game losing streak that was halted Sunday. He's batting .324 since joining the big-league roster and is 10-for-20 with three doubles and two RBI over his last six contests.

Out of Saturday's lineup Reddick was held out of Saturday's lineup against the Cardinals.

Impact The return of Christian Walker from an oblique injury had a ripple effect in the lineup, which resulted in Pavin Smith moving from first base to right field and Reddick taking a seat. Reddick had started seven of the first eight games since joining the Diamondbacks. He was needed at a time when injuries beset the roster, but guys are returning. With the Diamondbacks mired in a 13-game losing streak and the potential the organization to begin playing for next season, it's hard to see the 34-year-old Reddick being a big part of the plan going forward.
