Ryne Nelson - Could be shifted to bullpenDiamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Monday that Nelson will be available out of the bullpen in Wednesday's game versus the Rockies, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

ImpactNelson will be ready in case it's an abbreviated start by Jordan Montgomery. If he's not needed, he will start Friday in Tampa Bay. If Nelson does start Friday, it could be his last one for a while, as Lovullo says the club would then go back to a five-man rotation. Lovullo wouldn't commit to Nelson being the one to lose his rotation spot when that time arrives, but he looks to be the most likely candidate. Nelson holds a 2.90 ERA and 49:11 K:BB over 49.2 innings since the beginning of July, so he certainly doesn't deserve a demotion. However, he could be the team's starter most equipped to handle a shift to relief.

Jose Herrera - Losing work to Del CastilloHerrera is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

ImpactHerrera is on the bench for the second day in a row while the Diamondbacks hand another start at catcher to rookie Adrian Del Castillo, who has opened his big-league career by going 7-for-12 with three extra-base hits over his first three games. Even while Gabriel Moreno (adductor) is out indefinitely, Herrera looks like he could remain the Diamondbacks' No. 2 catcher, especially while Del Castillo is wielding a hot bat.

Adrian Del Castillo - Getting another start at catcherDel Castillo will start at catcher and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Rockies.

ImpactDel Castillo has opened his big-league career on a high note, going 7-for-12 with a home run, two doubles, one walk, five RBI and two runs through his first three games in the majors following his promotion from Triple-A Reno last Tuesday. The lefty-hitting Del Castillo could occupy the strong side of a platoon at catcher with the switch-hitting Jose Herrera while top backstop Gabriel Moreno (adductor) is on the injured list.

Kevin Newman - Back on bench MondayNewman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

ImpactNewman had started in four of the past five games, but he benefited from the Diamondbacks facing two left-handed starters during that stretch and from Ketel Marte and Geraldo Perdomo resting once apiece in the other two matchups versus right-handed starters. Even after getting on base four times in Sunday's 12-5 win over the Phillies, Newman's playing time is likely to remain sporadic moving forward.

Lourdes Gurriel - Sitting out MondayGurriel (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

ImpactHe will miss out on at least one start after exiting Sunday's 12-5 win over the Phillies due to left hamstring tightness. Jake McCarthy will pick up a start in left field in place of Gurriel, whom the Diamondbacks are viewing as day-to-day.

Blake Walston - Reinstated off IL, optioned to RenoThe Diamondbacks reinstated Walston (elbow) from the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Reno on Monday.

ImpactWith Eduardo Rodriguez and Merrill Kelly both returning from the IL, the Diamondbacks don't have an open spot on the rotation for Walston. For now, Walston will head down to Triple-A, but the 23-year-old southpaw should make his way back to the big club either as part of the rotation or in the bullpen. Prior to landing on the IL on June 6 due to left elbow inflammation, Walston registered a 2.84 ERA and 1.42 WHIP across 12.2 innings in three major-league appearances (two starts).
