Williams didn't factor into the decision Thursday against Colorado, allowing two runs on eight hits and a walk with six strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Williams allowed his most hits in a start since May 3, but he did an excellent job preventing runs and notched a third consecutive appearance giving up fewer than three earned runs. The 33-year-old hasn't completed six innings in six of his last seven outings, and he has a 5.13 ERA and a 24:6 K:BB in 33.1 innings during that stretch. On the year, Williams has a 5.54 ERA across 74.2 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Padres next time out.

Wood went 2-for-5 with a pair of two-run home runs during Thursday's 4-3 win over Colorado in 11 innings.

Wood was the lone source of offense for the Nationals Thursday, tagging Chase Dollander for a two-run homer in the fourth frame and delivering a walk-off blast in the 11th off Seth Halvorsen. The 22-year-old outfielder is in the midst of a breakout campaign, having slugged 20 homers and slashing .284/.380/.564 in 329 plate appearances this season. Wood is one of eight players in baseball to reach the 20-homer milestone, and he's launched four round trippers in his last seven outings.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Thursday's 8-7 loss to the Brewers.

Swanson reached base three times, highlighted by a 406-foot homer in the fourth inning. The shortstop has now gone deep three times over his past 10 games, a stretch that's included four multi-hit efforts, five RBI and four runs scored. On the season, he's slashing .244/.294/.435 with 14 home runs, 39 RBI, 42 runs scored and seven steals across 310 plate appearances.

Gonsolin (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

Gonsolin was placed on the injured list June 7 due to right elbow soreness. Imaging showed that his UCL was intact, but he'll nevertheless now be sidelined until at least early August. The move made room for Jack Little on the 40-man roster.

Marte went 3-for-5 with an RBI double and two runs scored in Thursday's 9-5 win over the Blue Jays.

Marte registered his second three-hit game of the season Thursday while extending the Diamondbacks' lead to seven runs in the sixth with an RBI double. Marte has been hot at the plate in June, slashing .317/.431/.533 with 15 runs scored, four home runs and 11 RBI in 72 plate appearances this month.

Suarez went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and a two-run double in Thursday's 9-5 win over Toronto.

Suarez put the Diamondbacks on the board in the second inning with a two-run homer off Kevin Gausman before extending the Snakes' lead in the third with a two-run double. Thursday marked Suarez's sixth multi-RBI game of the month, and his 62 RBI this season is second most in the majors behind Pete Alonso (63).

Sheehan was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.

This move comes as a surprise given Sheehan was sharp in his 2025 debut with the Dodgers on Wednesday, when he allowed only one earned run across four innings while striking out six. However, with Los Angeles' pitching staff overwhelmed by injuries, the team selected the contract of Jack Little to serve as bullpen depth. The team's plans for Sheehan are unclear, but he'll need to spend at least 15 days with Oklahoma City before being recalled, unless the corresponding transaction is injury related.

Smith went 1-for-2 with two walks, a two-run home run and a sacrifice fly in Thursday's 9-5 win over the Blue Jays.

Smith clobbered his sixth home run of the season in the fifth inning off Kevin Gausman before extending the Diamondbacks' lead in in the sixth on a sac fly. Smith's .274 batting average this year would be a career best, but he has struggled at the plate in June with a .194/.381/.387 slash line, one steal, two home runs, five RBI and a 31.0 percent strikeout rate in 42 plate appearances this month.

Little had his contract selected by the Dodgers on Thursday.

Little progressed to Triple-A Oklahoma City in 2024 and began 2025 at the level, maintaining a 2.20 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with a 33:14 K:BB across 32.2 frames. Little now has the chance to make his big-league debut and will likely serve as bullpen depth.

Nelson (4-2) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Thursday, allowing one run on one hit and two walks while striking out four across 5.2 innings.

Nelson faced the minimum number of batters in four of the six innings he pitched, with the lone blemish coming in the second inning when he yielded a solo home run to Alejandro Kirk. Nelson has allowed one earned run or less in five of six starts this season and has seemingly entrenched himself in the Diamondbacks' rotation following the loss of Corbin Burnes (elbow). Nelson is lined up to face the White Sox on the road next week.
