Chase Field, Phoenix, AZ
Stefan Crichton - Moves back to Triple-ACrichton was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Monday.
Sean Poppen - Claimed by ArizonaPoppen was claimed off waivers by the Diamondbacks on Monday.
ImpactThe 27-year-old was designated for assignment by the Rays on Friday and didn't make it through the waiver wire unclaimed. Poppen was at Triple-A before being removed from Tampa Bay's 40-man roster, but he'll immediately head to the majors with his new team. He had a 1.59 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 30:11 over 28.1 innings at the Triple-A level for the Rays.

Trea Turner - Could debut this weekendManager Dave Roberts said he's hopeful Turner (illness) will be cleared to return from the COVID-19 injured list as soon as Friday or Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic report...
ImpactBefore dealing Turner away to the Dodgers in a blockbuster trade, the Nationals placed him on the COVID-19 IL on July 29, two days after he tested positive for the virus. Turner will have to complete a 10-day quarantine before he's eligible to return from the IL, but assuming he went into isolation the day he tested positive, he may end up missing the minimum amount of time. Assuming Turner is testing negative by the time 10 days are up and he isn't experiencing any side effects from the virus, a weekend debut for the Dodgers would seem realistic. After making all 96 of his starts with the Nationals at shortstop this season, Turner is expected to settle in as the Dodgers' primary second baseman with Corey Seager already in the fold at shortstop.

Yefry Ramirez - Debuts with DodgersRamirez pitched two scoreless and hitless innings against the Diamondbacks on Sunday, allowing one walk while striking out two.
ImpactRamirez was brought up to the big club Sunday to provide bullpen depth, and he looked good in his first big-league appearance since 2019. The right-hander threw 16 of 23 pitches for strikes and faced the minimum six batters across his two frames thanks to an eighth-inning double play. Ramirez has worked mostly as a starter in the minors this season, compiling a 4.91 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 70:31 K:BB across 62.1 innings covering 15 outings (12 starts).

David Price - Pitches out of bullpen SundayPrice struck out one batter in a perfect relief inning Sunday versus Arizona.
ImpactThe veteran hurler had worked as a starter in each of his previous four appearances, compiling a 3.71 ERA and 1.18 WHIP across 17 innings. His relief appearance Sunday doesn't necessarily indicate a permanent return to the bullpen -- the Dodgers may simply have been taking advantage of a light schedule that has them playing only five times over the next eight days. That said, the recent acquisition of Max Scherzer and looming return of Clayton Kershaw (forearm) could eventually lead to Price's return to a relief role.
