Martinez (shoulder) began a throwing program Tuesday and will pitch in Arizona Complex League games next, MLB.com reports.

The Diamondbacks are hopeful Martinez will be able to return at the end of his 15-day stint on the injured list. He had experienced diminished velocity in a couple of outings before being placed on the IL but imaging came back clean for any structural damage.

Graveman (back) allowed one hit over a scoreless inning for Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.

Graveman made his first rehab appearance for the Aces after throwing 1.1 innings for the Diamondbacks' affiliate in the Arizona Complex League. He's been on the 15-day injured since the start of the season after experiencing back discomfort during a bullpen session in early March. It's unclear how many innings the organization wants to see out of the right-hander, but Graveman could be activated from the 15-day injured list within the next week.

Toglia went 3-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, a walk and two total RBI in Wednesday's extra-inning loss to Detroit.

Toglia and teammate Ryan McMahon each had two doubles and a homer in the contest, and the pair combined for four RBI. Toglia's long ball was a 413-foot, two-run shot in the third inning that broke a 3-3 tie. This was a much-needed positive performance for the young first baseman -- coming into Wednesday, he had gone 0-for-12 with seven strikeouts over his first four games in May (all road contests in San Francisco).

McMahon went 4-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, a walk, two total runs and two total RBI in Wednesday's extra-inning loss to the Tigers.

McMahon and Michael Toglia teamed up to notch all six of the Rockies' extra-base hits Wednesday, though the pair's performance wasn't enough to upset Detroit. McMahon endured an awful start to the season, batting just .147 with a mere four RBI over 29 games through the end of April. However, the veteran third baseman has begun to turn things around in May -- he's hit safely and driven in at least one run in four of five contests this month, and he's notched five extra-base hits (two doubles, a triple and two homers) in that span.

Dollander allowed six runs on five hits and three walks without notching any strikeouts over three-plus innings in a no-decision against Detroit on Wednesday.

Dollander yielded just one extra-base hit, but he hurt himself by issuing three free passes, as all three recipients came around to score. The right-hander actually looked good to start the game by retiring the first six batters he faced, but he yielded three runs on four hits in the third and then allowed all four of the batters he faced to reach in the fourth before getting the hook. Dollander has certainly experienced growing pains as a rookie this season -- he's allowed four or more runs in four of his six starts and has a 7.71 ERA through 28 innings. He'll look to make a more positive impact in his next start, which lines up to come against the Rangers next week.

Adames went 2-for-4 with a double and a walk in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Cubs.

Adames singled in the first inning and knocked a double into left field during the fifth, delivering his second multi-hit performance over his last five games. The 29-year-old shortstop has gone 7-for-20 with two home runs and two doubles in that span, rebounding from an early-season slump after recording a .185 batting average over his first 20 appearances. Adames is now slashing .230/.314/.358 with 22 runs scored, 19 RBI and an 18:40 BB:K across 169 plate appearances.

Wade went 2-for-4 with an RBI double in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Cubs.

Wade lined an RBI double into right field off right-hander Ben Brown, driving in the first of two runs in the fourth inning. The lefty-hitting first baseman has shown improvement after a lackluster start to the season, recording at least one hit in four of his last five games. Wade is now slashing .158/.259/.267 with 13 RBI, nine runs scored, eight extra-base hits and a 14:26 BB:K across 117 plate appearances this year.

Friedl went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs and a walk in Wednesday's win over Atlanta.

It was the third career multi-homer effort by Friedl, who also snapped a 26-game homerless drought in the process. The outfielder has reached base safely in five of his six outings in May, during which he's batting a healthy .261 with three stolen bases, five runs scored and four walks over 23 at-bats. The lefty-hitting Friedl's struggles versus southpaws should continue to inhibit his overall fantasy volume and upside -- he has a .578 OPS against left-handed pitching -- but he does sport a .784 OPS against righties this season.

Riley went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's loss to the Reds.

Wednesday marked the first stolen base of the campaign and the sixth career steal for the All-Star third baseman. Riley also extended his hitting streak to six games and his on-base streak to 10. Since April 27, Riley is hitting a strong .286 (12-for-42) with two home runs, two doubles, seven RBI and four runs scored.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Rays.

Turner snapped a 24-game homerless skid Wednesday, also registering his sixth multi-hit game in his last nine outings. During this nine-game stretch, the All-Star shortstop has gone a sizzling 18-for-39 (.462) with two doubles, five RBI, nine runs scored and two stolen bases. Turner is now up to 10 multi-hit efforts on the season.
