Turner went 3-for-5 with two homers and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays.

Turner kicked off a six-run first inning with a two-run homer off Bowden Francis and later added some insurance with a solo blast in the eighth. This was his eighth game this season with at least three hits and his first with multiple homers. In 14 games since May 19, Turner is hitting .339/.394/.678 with five homers, 13 RBI, 12 runs, six steals and a 5:9 BB:K.

Hays (foot) shed his walking boot and has resumed baseball activities, MLB.com reports.

Hays is hitting and throwing but not yet running after fouling a ball off his foot May 29; however, he is allowed to run in a pool. The outfielder is projected to return after a minimum 10-day stint on the injured list -- Hays' third stint on the IL this season. His job in left field is being filled primarily by Will Benson or Gavin Lux against righties and Garrett Hampson against lefties.

Sanchez (5-1) got the win over the Blue Jays on Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits and four walks while striking out four in six innings.

Sanchez battled control issues in this one, tossing 55 of 96 pitches for strikes, but he was able to get out of trouble when needed with a lot of groundballs. The lone run against him came in the fifth inning on a solo blast from Davis Schneider. This was Sanchez's sixth quality start of the year and his first win since May 7. He lines up to complete a two-start week on the road against the Pirates this weekend.

Frelick went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Reds.

Frelick took Hunter Greene yard in the fourth to extend the Reds' lead to 2-0. It's his fourth home run of the season, which sets a new career high for the 25-year-old. Frelick has tallied a hit in nine of his last 10 games, though Tuesday's homer was just his second extra-base hit over that span. Frelick has maintained an excellent eye at the plate over the course of the season thus far and his 12.1 strikeout percentage sits just outside the top 15 in MLB.

Lawlar went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run and four RBI for Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

Lawlar, who returned to the minors after a hitless eight-game stretch in the majors in May, continues to have success at Reno. He went without a hit in his first game back with the Aces but is 5-for-9 with two extra-base hits and two walks in his last two contests. The Diamondbacks currently sit fourth in the NL West and four games back of the final playoff spot. There's potential for them to be sellers at the trade deadline, and if that happens, Lawlar could return and have an everyday role. Josh Naylor and Eugenio Suarez are both free agents at the end of the season.

Benson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Brewers.

Benson struck out in his first three at-bats but made up for it with a solo home run in the eighth to make it a 4-2 lead for the Reds. Benson's cooled off considerably since his mini outburst at the plate in mid-May during which he had five homers and 10 RBI in four games. Since May 21, he's hitting just .147/.205/.245 with a 30.8 percent strikeout rate.

Stephenson went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Brewers.

Stephenson got the Reds on the board in the fourth with a two-run homer to right to even up the game. He now has four homers in his last eight games while racking up nine RBI over that span.

Marte went 3-for-3 with two walks, two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's 8-3 win over Atlanta.

Long before Corbin Carroll's three-run blast in the ninth inning put the game away, Marte's homers in his first two plate appearances set up Arizona for the win. His two-run homer in the third was the game-winning hit and moved him ahead of Steve Finley on the Diamondbacks' all-time RBI list. He now has 481 career RBI as a D-back, which ranks third in franchise history. Marte is in the midst of a blistering 15-game stretch, during which he's slashed .345/.465/.741 with seven home runs, 11 RBI, two steals and 15 runs scored.

Pagan picked up the save in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Brewers, striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.

Pagan retired the first two batters he faced, but a fielding error extended the game and brought the tying run to the plate. The game would end in thrilling fashion with TJ Friedl making a catch at the wall to rob Jake Bauers of a home run. Pagan's converted seven straight save chances dating back to May 7 despite posting a 5.79 ERA in May and he's now sixth in baseball with 15 saves.

Peralta (5-4) took the loss Tuesday against the Reds, allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out nine in six innings.

Peralta got off to a blistering start, striking out five of the first six batters he faced while blanking the Reds through the first three innings. He then served up a two-run homer in the fourth and exited the game with two runners on in the seventh, one of which came in to score after Peralta was lifted. The nine strikeouts were a season high for Peralta and Tuesday marked his first time reaching six innings since May 4. Walks remain an issue for him, however, as he's walked 14 batters in his last five starts. Peralta's next start lines up for at home versus Atlanta next week.
