Justin Martinez RP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Justin Martinez: Yields run but earns save
Martinez allowed a run on one hit and two walks in one inning during Sunday's win over Atlanta. He earned a save and did not record a strikeout.
Martinez entered a 6-3 game and was not very effective. On top of the two walks, he also hit a batter. A double play before Marcell Ozuna's RBI double helped limit the damage to just one run. Martinez entered the game with a clean 0.00 ERA through nine innings. He didn't walk a batter in his first seven appearances but has now issued four free passes over his last 3.1 innings. Martinez was recently dealing with some shoulder fatigue but is the current favorite for saves with A.J. Puk (elbow) on the IL, though Shelby Miller may also be in the mix.

Ryan Feltner SP | COL
Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Will start Monday
Feltner (back) is listed as the Rockies' scheduled starting pitcher for Monday's game against Atlanta at Coors Field.
Feltner was initially lined up to take the hill in Sunday's series finale versus the Reds, but he ended up being pushed back a day in the schedule after he experienced back tightness while lifting weights Thursday. The right-hander isn't expected to face any limitations when he takes the hill Monday for the first of what will likely be two starts during the upcoming week. After Monday's outing, Feltner will tentatively line up for another turn next weekend in San Francisco.

Spencer Schwellenbach P | ATL
Braves' Spencer Schwellenbach: Fans six in loss
Schwellenbach (1-2) yielded four runs (three earned) on seven hits and a walk over six innings Sunday, striking out six and taking a loss against Arizona.
Schwellenbach never found a groove Sunday, coughing up a run in each of the first, second, fourth and fifth innings. He tossed 58 of 88 pitches for strikes and generated 16 whiffs, including six each with the slider and splitter. After allowing only one run through 20 innings to start his 2025 campaign, Schwellenbach has been tagged with 13 runs (11 earned) over his last 17.2 frames. He still owns a strong 2.87 ERA with a 33:6 K:BB. Schwellenbach is expected to face the Dodgers at home next weekend.

Geraldo Perdomo SS | ARI
Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Homers in win
Perdomo went 1-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, two steals and an additional run scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over Atlanta.
Perdomo knocked in Corbin Carroll after the latter led off the bottom of the first with a triple. The shortstop then hit his fourth homer of the season in the fifth inning. It was a productive game for Perdomo, who endured a fallow stretch entering the game, going 2-for-27 with zero RBI over the last seven contests.

Yoendrys Gomez RP | MIN
Dodgers' Yoendrys Gomez: Secures three-inning save
Gomez allowed four hits over three scoreless innings and earned a save against the Pirates on Sunday. He struck out four batters.
Gomez made his Dodgers debut after the Yankees designated him for assignment. It was the first time he struck out more than two batters in an appearance this season, and he brought his K:BB up to 9:9 through 13 frames. Gomez shouldn't see many save opportunities with the Dodgers moving forward but could be used in more bulk-relief spots.
