Benson started in left field and went 0-for-4 in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to San Francisco.

Benson struck out swinging four times -- three whiffs and one foul tip -- in his season debut after being called up from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday. He swung the bat well for the Bats, but Wednesday's effort was reminder of his struggles in 2024, when Benson struck out 39.7 percent of the time against major-league pitching.

Tawa went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Wednesday's 9-0 win over the Orioles.

Tawa capped the Diamondbacks' five-run fifth inning with a two-run single that plated Alek Thomas and Jake McCarthy. Tawa started at second base for the third time in five games since Ketel Marte (hamstring) was added to the 10-day injured list. He and Garrett Hampson have alternated starts. With Marte expected to miss a "series of weeks," per manager Torey Lovullo, Tawa is in position to see ample opportunities through the end of the month.

McCarthy started in left field and went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 9-0 win over Baltimore.

McCarthy snapped an 0-for-24 skid to open the season with a fifth-inning double and scored his first run in 2025. He and Alek Thomas have largely shared center field, but both were in the lineup Wednesday, when McCarthy filled in for Lourdes Gurriel in left field. Both McCarthy (.038) and Thomas (.308) have 26 at-bats.

Smith started at first base and went 3-for-5 with a double, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 9-0 win over the Orioles.

Smith was one of four members of the Diamondbacks that went deep in the win. His two-run shot in the fifth inning, his first homer of the season, was the first of back-to-back homers. The Diamondbacks are finally seeing a string of right-handed starters, which has given Smith starts in four consecutive games. During that stretch, the lefty hitter is 7-for-13 with three extra-base hits, three RBI and four runs scored.

Perdomo batted second and went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 9-0 win over Baltimore.

Perdomo capped the Diamondbacks' four-homer night with a solo shot in the bottom of the eighth inning, his second home run of the season. A recent move to the top of the order, where he's replacing Ketel Marte (hamstring), should boost Perdomo's production, but he was just 1-for-12 in the first four games following his promotion before breaking out Wednesday. The shortstop is batting .333/.389/.511 with four extra-base hits and a team-leading 13 RBI through 55 plate appearances (13 games).

Adam earned a hold against the Athletics on Wednesday, issuing one walk and striking out two batters over one scoreless inning.

Adam was called upon in eighth inning of a tight 2-1 game. The right-hander successfully protected San Diego's lead, working around a two-out walk and subsequent stolen base by fanning Brent Rooker to close out the frame. Adam has been very impressive to begin the campaign, posting an 11:4 K:BB over 7.1 scoreless innings. He leads the majors with five holds.

Ortiz went 2-for-2 with three walks, three runs and two RBI in Wednesday's 17-2 win against Colorado.

Ortiz batted out of the No. 9 slot in Milwaukee's lineup, but he produced more like a leadoff hitter with his two singles and three walks. The 26-year-old also knocked in two of the team's runs and scored three times. The RBI were the first of the season for Ortiz, and prior to Wednesday, he had drawn just one free pass over 43 plate appearances.

Yelich went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, an additional run and a stolen base in a 17-2 rout of the Rockies on Wednesday.

Yelich belted a massive 465-foot, two-run shot in the ninth inning as Milwaukee tacked seven runs onto an already insurmountable lead. It was the second straight game with a long ball for the veteran slugger, and he extended his modest hitting streak to four games. Yelich has gone 5-for-17 with five RBI over that stretch after struggling with a 2-for-24 mark and just three RBI over his first eight contests of the campaign.

Chourio went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, three total runs and five total RBI in Wednesday's 17-2 win over the Rockies.

Chourio made the most of his two knocks in the victory, notching a two-run double in the second inning and adding a three-run homer in the fifth. It was the fourth straight multi-hit performance for the rising star, and Chourio extended his hitting streak to 11 games with the effort. He's yet to draw a walk this season, but Chourio has otherwise been among the league's most impressive hitters, slashing .315/.309/.685 with four home runs, 16 RBI, 10 runs and a stolen base through 55 plate appearances.

Senzatela (0-2) took the loss against Milwaukee on Wednesday, allowing nine runs (eight earned) on eight hits and one walk while notching three strikeouts over 4.1 innings.

Senzatela didn't allow an earned run over 9.2 frames across his first two starts of the campaign, but those results seemed quite misleading given that he gave up 19 hits during that span. The eight hits the righty allowed Wednesday remarkably registered as his fewest so far this season, but the parade of baserunners caught up to him this time around, as the Brewers pounded him for nine runs, five of which came via the long ball. Senzatela has posted an ERA below 4.38 just once in his eight big-league seasons, so his run-free first two starts never seemed likely to hold up, especially given his home ballpark. Senzatela will nonetheless look to bounce back the next time he takes the mound, which is tentatively slated to be in Los Angeles in a tough matchup against the Dodgers early next week.
