Tellez went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run and two walks across both games of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

Tellez didn't start in the first game of the twin bill, but he came up as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and drilled a 443-foot, two-run blast to right field. The first baseman added a walk later in that contest before going 0-for-4 with another walk in the nightcap. Even with the Game 1 homer Saturday, Tellez has had a rough start to September, going 3-for-18 with seven strikeouts over his first seven games.

Chaparro went a combined 4-for-9 with a home run and three RBI across both games of a doubleheader sweep versus the Pirates on Saturday.

Chaparro has three homers and nine RBI over his past seven contests.

Wade isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Toglia went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer, a double and a walk in Friday's 3-2 victory over Milwaukee.

The 26-year-old was responsible for all of Colorado's scoring with one swing Friday, a two-out, 428-foot blast off Frankie Montas in the sixth inning.

Walker started at first base and went 1-for-4 in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Giants.

Walker returned to the starting lineup after a day off Wednesday. He was activated off the injured list Tuesday, and the Diamondbacks are easing him back to action after he missed five weeks with an oblique strain. Walker will eventually resume his role as the team's everyday first baseman. Josh Bell, who started in place of Walker on Wednesday, moved to designated hitter Thursday.
