Holmes has been moved up a day to start Tuesday against the Angels, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Holmes is swapping spots in the pitching schedule with Didier Fuentes, who will now take the ball Wednesday. As a result of the change, Holmes is now set up for a two-start week, as he'll be in line to take the hill Sunday against the Orioles in Atlanta.

McLain went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 13-6 loss to Boston.

McLain has cooled off a bit since he was moved from the bottom of the order to second, but he's still hitting much better than he was through much of April and May. In the eight games since the promotion, McLain is batting .250 (8-for-32) with a home run, a double, four RBI and six runs scored. His .213 batting average is the highest its been since early April.

Marte (oblique) appeared in both ends of a doubleheader Sunday and went a combined 3-for-6 with a walk, a triple and two RBI for Double-A Chattanooga.

Rain washed out potential rehab games Friday and Saturday before Marte returned to the field. He served as the designated hitter in Sunday's opener and played third base in the nightcap. The rehab plan was for Marte to play five consecutive games for the Lookouts before he was to be re-evaluated, but the rain limited him to four contests. Chattanooga was off Monday and will begin a road trip Tuesday. It is unclear if the Reds will send Marte on the road or conduct the re-evaluation.

Groover was named to the All-Star Futures Game roster Monday, Connor Emery of Arizona Sports reports.

Groover, 23, returned to Double-A Amarillo to start the 2025 season and will likely take the next step to Triple-A Reno. He has a .301/.377/.471 line with 10 home runs and 36 RBI over 67 games for the Sod Poodles. There are questions about Groover's defense, but he's spent all season at third base. He could eventually swing to the cold corner where his defense and quickness won't get in the way of his bat.

Caldwell was added to the All-Star Futures Game roster Monday, Connor Emery of Arizona Sports reports.

Caldwell cruised through Single-A Visalia for the first two months of the season before gaining a promotion to High-A Hillsboro. The 19-year-old is the youngest player in the Northwest League. Caldwell owns a .267/.437/.463 line with 22 RBI and 19 steals combined at the two levels.

Thomas went 3-for-3 with a double and two runs scored in Monday's 4-2 win over the Giants.

Thomas was the only Diamondback with a multi-hit effort in this game. The outfielder had gone 15 contests without such a performance, batting a paltry .109 (5-for-46) in that span. Despite his struggles at the plate, Thomas continues to hold down a starting role in center field. He's up to a .249/.294/.367 slash line with four home runs, five stolen bases, 22 RBI, 27 runs scored, 10 doubles and two triples over 74 contests this season.

Gurriel went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-2 win over the Giants.

Gurriel has gone eight games without a multi-hit effort. His homer Monday ended a 15-game stretch without a long ball, during which he batted just .217 with four RBI and three stolen bases. The outfielder has maintained a steady role in left field and is at a .250/.296/.414 slash line with 11 homers, 42 RBI, 27 runs scored and seven steals across 78 contests this season.

Suarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-2 win over the Giants.

Suarez put a good finish on a productive June, a month in which he hit .315 (29-for-92) with 11 homers and 27 RBI. The third baseman is up to 26 long balls on the year after that power surge. He's added a .257/.324/.570 slash line with 69 RBI, 49 runs scored, 16 doubles and one stolen base over 82 contests.

Miller struck out two over 1.1 perfect innings to earn the save in Monday's 4-2 win over the Giants.

Miller has blown two of his last five save chances, allowing three runs over 5.2 innings in that span. However, he continues to rack up strikeouts while limiting walks -- he's punched out 10 batters without issuing a walk during that recent stretch, which hasn't even been his best pitching. The 34-year-old right-hander is now at a 2.10 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 39:11 K:BB while adding 10 saves, eight holds and five blown saves over 34.1 innings this year.

Nelson allowed two runs on five hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over 6.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Monday.

Nelson was cruising until he put two runners aboard in the seventh inning, both of which came around to score when Juan Morillo allowed a two-run double to Tyler Fitzgerald. That cost Nelson a chance at the win, but this was still another impressive start. He has allowed just five runs (four earned) over 22.1 innings while adding a 21:6 K:BB across his last four starts, so it's a bit unlucky he's come away with just two wins in that span. On the year, Nelson has a 3.61 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 59:21 K:BB through 67.1 innings over 18 appearances (eight starts). His next start is projected to be at home versus the Royals this weekend.
