Diaz allowed two walks and struck out one over a scoreless two-thirds of an inning in Tuesday's 8-4 win over Seattle.

Diaz, who was activated earlier in the day, made his season debut. He opened the sixth inning and walked two of the first three batters he faced. He threw 26 pitches (14 strikes), so the command and control issues that plagued him in spring training were evident Tuesday. It makes sense that manager Terry Francona doesn't want to put Diaz back in the closer's role yet.

Imanaga came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Padres, giving up one unearned run on four hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out seven.

After escaping jams in the third and fourth innings, Imanaga's luck ran out in the fifth when both Kyle Tucker and Gage Workman dropped pop flies in foul territory, giving Manny Machado a third life which he used to launch a solo homer. It was the only blemish on the southpaw's line, as he tossed 64 of 93 pitches for strikes before exiting. Imanaga will take a 2.22 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 21:10 K:BB through 28.1 innings over five starts into his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Dodgers.

Mantiply allowed two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out one over one inning in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Marlins.

The Diamondbacks were leading, 10-1, when Mantiply opened the seventh inning, so the scoring allowed didn't jeopardize the club, but the left-hander hasn't executed thus far. He isn't overpowering, so he needs to be precise with location. Mantiply's given up runs in his last three outings, pushing his ERA to 13.50 over 6.2 innings (seven outings).

Suarez went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over Miami.

Suarez helped carry the Diamondbacks through the season's opening week but has hit the skids since. After launching his fifth home run in the fifth game of the season, Suarez is batting .098 (4-for-41) with zero RBI and 17 strikeouts over the subsequent 12 contests.

Perdomo went 1-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 10-4 win over Marlins.

After Corbin Carroll doubled home the first run of Arizona's four-run second inning, Perdomo capped it with a three-run blast deep to right field. It was the shortstop's third homer through 17 games, matching last season's total over 98 games, and he's halfway to the career-high six he hit in 2023 (144 games). Perdomo leads Arizona with 16 RBI.

Frelick went 1-for-3 with a triple, a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Tigers.

Frelick began his day with a triple in the second inning and crossed home shortly thereafter. He reached again in the sixth and stole his fifth base of the year, which pushed him ahead of Brice Turang for the team lead. Frelick also leads the club with a .403 on-base percentage to complement his .306 batting average through 72 plate appearances.

Turang went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Tigers.

Turang reached in the first and swiped second for his fourth steal of the year. He's now tallied a hit in all but one game so far this season, though he does not have an extra-base hit since he homered April 8. The 25-year-old is slashing .329/.367/.466 with three homers, 10 RBI, 17 runs and a 4:17 BB:K in 79 plate appearances.

Dunn went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Tigers.

Dunn walked and stole second in the eighth for his first steal of the year. He had just three steals in 41 games last year and doesn't run a ton. The 27-year-old is slashing just .171/.211/.229 with five RBI, four runs and a 2:11 BB:K in 39 plate appearances.

Hoskins went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Tigers.

Hoskins got the scoring started with a solo blast in the second that traveled 440 feet. That was his first home run and first three-hit game of the year. He raised his batting average 47 points and is now slashing .229/.345/.313 with six RBI, three runs and an 8:14 BB:K in 58 plate appearances.

Priester (1-0) allowed just one hit and walked three over five scoreless innings in a win against the Tigers on Tuesday. He struck out four.

Priester was dominant in his first home start as a member of the Brewers. He did not give up a hit until the very last batter he faced, which was a leadoff double in the sixth by Gleyber Torres, leading to a pitching change with the game being close. Priester's been an excellent acquisition for the Brewers early on, allowing just one run on seven hits in 10 innings. He lines up for a road start in San Francisco next week.
