The Diamondbacks outrighted Knizner to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

Knizner cleared waivers after being removed from the 40-man roster over the weekend, but he will remain in the organization for the time being. The veteran catcher is a career .210/.279/.317 hitter over parts of six major-league seasons.

Ohtani went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 11-9 loss to the Marlins.

Ohtani got Los Angeles on the board in the third inning with a two-run blast off Darren McCaughan, cutting the Marlins' lead to 4-2. Ohtani is up to 48 long balls on the season, leaving him two home runs and two stolen bases shy of becoming the first player in major-league history to post a 50-50 season. Ohtani is now slashing .287/.372/.611 on the campaign with 110 RBI and 119 runs scored across 675 plate appearances.

Marte went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-5 win over Atlanta.

Marte contributed to the Reds' comeback from a 5-1 deficit with his sixth-inning double that plated two (one came home on a throwing error). He then stole his ninth bag of the season. It's been a down year for Marte, who never developed any sustained success at the plate after serving an 80-game suspension, but he's in the midst of an encouraging stretch, having gone 7-for-25 (.280) with four RBI and three steals over the last seven contests.

Steer went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-5 win over Atlanta.

Steer's two-run shot in the seventh inning proved to be the game-winning knock, as Cincinnati completed the comeback from a 5-1 deficit. The home run was Steer's 20th, marking the second consecutive year he's crossed that threshold and giving him his first 20-20 season.

Carroll went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a hit-by-pitch in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to Colorado.

Carroll swiped his 29th bag of the season in the third inning but was stranded at second base. Following a hot stretch during the month of August, Carroll's bat has faded; he's batting .220 (9-for-41) with one RBI over the last 11 games.

Guillorme started at second base and went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Rockies.

The steal was Guillorme's third in 18 games since joining the Diamondbacks. Ketel Marte was given the day off, clearing the way for Guillorme to get a start. Now that Marte is back from an ankle injury and regularly playing the field, Guillorme has receded into a backup role. Tuesday's start was his first in seven contests.

Gurriel (calf) had four live at-bats at Arizona's camp facility at Salt River Fields on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Gurriel came out of the activity feeling good. The skipper added that Gurriel also did some "aggressive baserunning" and "outfield work." The team is hopeful Gurriel can return during its current road trip. Arizona finishes a series against Colorado on Wednesday before moving on to Milwaukee.

Yastrzemski went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk, one additional RBI and two total runs scored in Tuesday's 10-0 win over the Orioles.

Yastrzemski took the second pitch of the game deep to right field for his fifth homer over 13 contests in September. He's posted just four other hits this month, but he's been decently productive with nine RBI and 10 runs scored. Overall, Yastrzemski has a .237/.312/.442 slash line with 16 homers, 52 RBI, 55 runs scored and three stolen bases through 129 contests.

Walker went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Rockies.

Walker's eighth-inning blast cut the deficit to four runs before the Rockies fired back with two more runs of their own. The first baseman has gone 11-for-38 (.289) with three homers and eight RBI over 12 contests since he returned from an oblique injury. It's shaping up to be a strong end of the year for the 33-year-old, who is slashing .257/.344/.487 with 26 homers, 79 RBI, 66 runs scored, 23 doubles and two stolen bases over 119 contests.

Montgomery (8-7) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings to take the loss versus the Rockies on Tuesday.

Montgomery made his last four appearances out of the bullpen, posting middling results. He had two scoreless outings, but he allowed seven runs across his other two games in that span. The veteran southpaw has struggled to a 6.23 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 77:42 K:BB through 112.2 innings over 24 appearances (20 starts) this year. Montgomery should get at least one more start due to the absence of Ryne Nelson (shoulder), with that outing projected to be in Milwaukee.
