Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Perfect at plate Friday
Rotowire
Moreno went 3-for-3 with two doubles, one walk, one RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 8-0 win over the Rockies.
Moreno has a trio of multi-hit efforts over his last six games, going 9-for-25 (.360) with five RBI in that span. The catcher's recent success at the plate is helping him bounce back after a rough second half of April. He's now batting .259 with a .661 OPS, one home run, 10 RBI, 19 runs scored, one stolen base and five doubles over 36 contests. While he is hitting better lately, Moreno is largely struggling even more than usual in the power department, though his contact skill remains his best tool.

Rotowire

Diamondbacks' Corbin Burnes: Strikes out 10 in win
Rotowire
Burnes (3-1) allowed two hits and three walks while striking out 10 over six shutout innings to earn the win over the Rockies on Friday.
The 10 strikeouts were a season high for Burnes, who has kept runs off the board in each of his last two starts. He's covered 13 innings in that span while posting a 15:5 K:BB, though the lowly Rockies weren't able to take advantage of the free passes. Burnes is now at a 2.56 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 43:22 K:BB across 45.2 innings over eight starts this season. The 30-year-old's next start is projected to be on the road versus the Dodgers. He posted seven shutout innings against them in his previous outing.
Diamondbacks' Justin Martinez: Will pitch in ACL game Saturday
Rotowire
Diamondbacks Torey Lovullo said Friday that Martinez (shoulder) will throw in the Arizona Complex League on Saturday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
Martinez is in the final stages of his recovery from right shoulder inflammation, which caused him to be placed on the 15-day injured list in early May. He progressed to facing live batters earlier this week, and he'll take the next step in his rehab program by throwing in an ACL game Saturday. Martinez could return to the big club shortly after Saturday's outing depending on how his shoulder responds.

The Diamondbacks selected Montes De Oca's contract from Triple-A Reno on Friday.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Back in Friday's lineup
Rotowire
Marte (hip) is starting at second base and batting in the leadoff spot against the Rockies on Friday.
Marte was lifted from Wednesday's win against the Giants due to stiffness in his hip, but the 31-year-old second baseman has been cleared to play in Friday's series opener. Marte is slashing .262/.377/.554 with five home runs and eight RBI over 77 plate appearances this season.

Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Lands on IL with shoulder injury
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks placed Rodriguez on the 15-day injured list Friday due to left shoulder inflammation.
Rodriguez has given up four earned runs or more in four of his last five outings, and his left shoulder injury may have played a factor in those performances. He'll be shut down from throwing and undergo further tests and imaging, and the results will help the Diamondbacks determine a rehab program for the 32-year-old southpaw. With Rodriguez on the 15-day IL and Joe Mantiply optioned to Triple-A Reno, Arizona is bringing up Scott McGough and Christian Montes De Oca from Triple-A in corresponding moves.

Diamondbacks' Scott McGough: Recalled by Arizona
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks recalled McGough from Triple-A Reno on Friday.
McGough made one appearance for the Diamondbacks on May 3 against the Phillies, but he's otherwise spent the 2025 season in Triple-A, where he's posted a 3.55 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB across 12.2 innings. He'll provide depth out of Arizona's bullpen after Joe Mantiply was optioned to Reno in a corresponding move.

Diamondbacks' Christian Montes De Oca: Reportedly headed to majors
Rotowire
Montes De Oca will be called up from Triple-A Reno, MLB insider freelancer Mike Rodriguez reports.
Nothing's official, but it sounds like Montes De Oca is headed to the majors for the first time after the Diamondbacks optioned Joe Mantiply on Thursday. The 25-year-old right-hander has shown improved control at Reno this season, walking just four in 19 innings, helping Montes De Oca to a 2.37 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 12 appearances so far. While he hasn't displayed a great strikeout punch at the upper levels of the minors, he has the potential to stick around in the Arizona bullpen.

Diamondbacks' Joe Mantiply: Shuttled back to minors
Rotowire
Mantiply was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Thursday, Alex D'Agostino of SI.com reports.
Mantiply has struggled mightily in the majors this season, allowing multiple earned runs in half of his 10 appearances. He'll head back to Reno for the second time and seek to regain the solid form he's showcased for the last few campaigns.
Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Enters mid-game at second base
Rotowire
Lawlar pinch hit for Ketel Marte (hip) and went 0-for-1 in Wednesday's 8-7 win over the Giants.
Lawlar finished up the game at second base for Marte, who was removed as a precaution with stiffness in his hip. This was Lawlar's second appearance since his call-up from Triple-A Reno; he served as the starting shortstop Tuesday. Marte is expected to play when the Diamondbacks resume their schedule Friday at home against the Rockies.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Removed with lower-body stiffness
Rotowire
Marte was removed from Wednesday's 8-7 win over the Giants due to stiffness in his hip, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. The removal was preventative, and both the player and manager Torey Lovullo expect Marte to be in the lineup Friday following Thursday's off-day.
Marte moved around the bases pretty easily on a pair of home runs early in the game but was eventually removed from the game in the seventh inning. This was the first time he played a day game following a night game since returning from a hamstring injury. He was replaced by Jordan Lawlar. Marte is still in a phase where his playing time is being managed, meaning there are planned days off.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Goes yard twice in win
Rotowire
Marte went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Wednesday's 8-7 win over the Giants.
After belting a solo shot off Jordan Hicks in the first inning, Marte tagged Hayden Birdsong for a two-run blast in the fourth as he bookended the scoring for the Diamondbacks. Marte has two multi-homer performances in the last seven games and five long balls in total over that stretch, but he's otherwise struggled to find his rhythm since coming off the IL at the beginning of the month, going 8-for-39 (.205) through 12 games in May.

Diamondbacks' Shelby Miller: Escapes with third save
Rotowire
Miller gave up a run on two hits and two walks in the ninth inning Wednesday to record his third save of the season in an 8-7 win over the Giants. He struck out one.
The veteran righty loaded the bases before walking LaMonte Wade with two outs to bring home a run, but Miller was able to coax a shallow fly to center field out of Christian Koss to end the game. Miller's converted three of his four save chances in six May appearances while adding a win and a hold as Arizona tries to piece together a high-leverage crew in the wake of injuries to Justin Martinez (shoulder) and A.J. Puk (elbow). However, Miller's 4.50 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 6:3 K:BB through six innings on the month don't provide a lot of confidence that he'll remain a reliable closing option.
Rodriguez came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 8-7 win over the Giants, giving up four runs on five hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out four.
The veteran southpaw didn't serve up a homer for the first time since April 17, but there wasn't much else encouraging about this performance from Rodriguez. He tossed 41 of 76 pitches for strikes before getting the hook, and he's been tagged for three or more runs in five straight trips to the mound, stumbling to a 9.93 ERA, 2.03 WHIP and 23:12 K:BB through 22.2 innings over that stretch. Rodriguez will try to right the ship in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week against the Dodgers.
