Gallen (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Reno on Sunday, MLB.com reports.

Gallen threw three innings and 45 pitches in a bridge game last Tuesday and could push that pitch count to 60 for the Aces. The Diamondbacks are targeting the right-hander's return for sometime during their upcoming series against Kansas City, which runs from Sept. 7-9.

Burnes (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Reno on Saturday, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

Burnes is expected to throw two innings and 35 pitches for the Aces. If all goes well, manager Torey Lovullo will make a decision as to whether the right-hander should rejoin the Diamondbacks for his season debut. Given where he is with his workload, Burnes would likely only be able to give Arizona three innings (45 pitches) at that point, but with an extra roster spot in September, the team would have bullpen coverage.

Lee went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 10-6 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Lee dealt with an elbow injury earlier in the week, which cost him two games. The outfielder played the full contest in right field Friday and appears to be good to go to reclaim his starting role. He's batting .289 with a .750 OPS, nine home runs, 11 steals, 47 RBI, 61 runs scored, 27 doubles and four triples across 123 contests this season.

Koss went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 10-6 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Koss has gone 16-for-60 (.267) over his last 18 games, adding a homer and four doubles in that span. The infielder has taken over a starting role at shortstop in the absence of Willy Adames (elbow), who could miss the rest of the season after going down with the injury Sunday. Over 123 plate appearances this season, Koss is batting .211 with a .537 OPS, one homer, four RBI, 12 runs scored, five doubles and two stolen bases, so he's unlikely to hit his way into the picture in fantasy.

Eldridge went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and a second RBI in Friday's 10-6 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Eldridge has hit safely in 13 of his last 15 games, going 16-for-57 (.281) with four homers and 10 RBI in that span. The first baseman is now batting .254 with a .793 OPS, 15 homers, 38 RBI, 43 runs scored, 17 doubles and one stolen base over 89 contests this season. He should continue to see a near-everyday role between first base and designated hitter.

Tidwell (0-1) allowed six runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings to take the loss versus the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Tidwell hadn't given up multiple homers in an outing this season until this start, as all of Lars Nootbaar, Corbin Carroll and Tim Tawa tagged him for a long ball. Those big flies counted for all six runs on Tidwell's line. He's allowed 12 runs over his last 15 innings, but his scoreless start last weekend in Boston offered a glimpse of what he can do when he's on. Tidwell has a 4.54 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 31:13 K:BB over 37.2 innings across 13 games (five starts) this season. The Giants' depleted rotation likely means Tidwell is safe in a starting role for the rest of the year, and he's projected to make his next start at Pittsburgh.

Perdomo went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 10-6 win over the Giants.

Perdomo logged a steal for the second game in a row. He's batting .361 (13-for-36) over his last 10 games, though just two of those hits have gone for extra bases. The shortstop is batting .254 with a .737 OPS, 19 steals, nine home runs, 46 RBI, 63 runs scored, 18 doubles and six triples over 131 contests this season. While he's been nowhere near his 20-homer, .851 OPS performance from last year, he continues to occupy a starting role thanks to his strong ability to get on base.

Tawa went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 10-6 win over the Giants.

Tawa had gone 0-for-8 with three walks over his previous three games. He delivered a third-inning homer as part of a five-run rally. Tawa is up to nine homers this year, five of which have come in August. He's batting .246 with a .711 OPS, 35 RBI, 28 runs scored, 10 doubles and seven stolen bases over 79 contests and has settled into a starting role at first base lately.

Carroll went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and a third RBI in Friday's 10-6 win over the Giants.

Carroll homered as part of a third-inning rally for the Diamondbacks, and he plated another run on a sacrifice fly in the sixth. He's been good for most of the month but had gone 0-for-7 over his previous two games. The star outfielder is batting .248 with an .830 OPS, 19 homers, 61 RBI, 82 runs scored, 28 doubles, 16 triples and 20 stolen bases across 132 contests this season.

Nootbaar went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and a second run scored in Friday's 10-6 win over the Giants.

This was Nootbaar's best game in an Arizona uniform and just his second multi-hit effort since he was acquired from the Cardinals. He's batting just .211 (12-for-57) with two homers, three doubles and six RBI over 18 games since the trade. The rough stretch has him down to a .228 average and .687 OPS with five homers, 22 RBI, 28 runs scored, 11 doubles, one triple and two stolen bases over 66 contests this season.
