    Brewers' Willy Adames: Homers again Thursday

    Adames went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a solo homer and an additional run scored during Thursday's 16-7 win in Atlanta.

    The 27-year-old clubbed two home runs during Tuesday's series opener, and he followed up Thursday with his 20th long ball of the campaign. Adames is off to a hot start in August, going 8-for-24 with two doubles, three homers, five RBI and seven runs through six games.

  • Frankie Montas RP | NYM

    Brewers' Frankie Montas: Lasts four frames in no-decision

    Montas allowed three runs on two hits and four walks over four innings during Thursday's 16-7 win against Atlanta. He struck out seven and did not factor in the decision.

    The right-hander started off the contest with two scoreless frames and five punchouts, but Austin Riley tagged him for a three-run homer during the third inning. Montas needed 91 pitches (55 strikes) to record just 12 outs, as he was unable to complete the necessary five innings to qualify for a win after Milwaukee spotted him an 8-0 lead. The 31-year-old has a 5.10 ERA through 21 starts this season, and he's given up six runs in nine innings across two outings since being acquired by the Brewers.

  • Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Launches two homers

    Chourio went 3-for-5 with two two-run home runs and an additional run scored during Thursday's 16-7 win against Atlanta.

    The 20-year-old rookie continued his hot streak and now has five straight multi-hit performances. Chourio struggled to a .581 OPS during the first couple months of the season, but since June 1 he's hitting .335 with nine homers, eight steals, 34 RBI and 34 runs in 51 games. He has a .277/.322/.441 slash line with 14 long balls and 13 stolen bases for the campaign.

  • Joc Pederson DH | TEX

    Diamondbacks' Joc Pederson: Getting breather against LHP

    Pederson isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup Thursday versus the Phillies.

    Pederson will get a chance to rest as the Diamondbacks match up against left-hander Kolby Allard in Thursday's series opener. Ketel Marte will instead serve as Arizona's designated hitter while Kevin Newman picks up a start at second base.

  • Corbin Carroll RF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Sitting against lefty

    Carroll isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies.

    The lefty-hitting Carroll will retreat to the bench Thursday as southpaw Kolby Allard prepares to start on the bump for Philadelphia. Randal Grichuk will take over as Arizona's right fielder and bat fifth.

  • Alek Thomas CF | LAD

    Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas: Resting against lefty

    Thomas isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup Thursday versus the Phillies.

    With left-hander Kolby Allard slated to throw the first pitch for Philadelphia, the left-handed-hitting Thomas will take a seat to begin Thursday's contest. Jake McCarthy will fill in as Arizona's center fielder and bat second while Thomas rests.

  • Brandon Marsh LF | PHI

    Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Not starting versus LHP

    Marsh isn't in the Philles' lineup Thursday versus the Diamondbacks.

    Marsh and his .499 OPS against southpaws this season will take a seat on the bench as the Phillies prepare to face left-hander Jordan Montgomery. Johan Rojas will get the starting nod in center field and bat ninth.

  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Sitting versus lefty

    Stott isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Southpaw Jordan Montgomery will start on the bump for Arizona on Thursday, so the lefty-hitting Stott will step out of the starting nine. Edmundo Sosa will cover second base instead and bat seventh.

  • Austin Hays LF | SD

    Phillies' Austin Hays: Sitting down Thursday

    Hays (hamstring) isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Thursday's game against Arizona.

    Hays was taken out of Wednesday's game in the third inning after feeling his left hamstring tighten up, and he'll get a day off Thursday in order to recover. Weston Wilson will start in left field instead and bat eighth against left-hander Jordan Montgomery.

  • Diamondbacks' Andrew Knizner: Claimed by Snakes

    The Diamondbacks claimed Knizner off waivers from the Rangers on Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Reno.

    Knizner was DFA'd by Texas on Tuesday after posting a .394 OPS in 93 big-league plate appearances. He'll now join the Diamondbacks organization and serve as an organizational depth piece at Triple-A Reno in the wake of Gabriel Moreno's groin injury. Luis Frias was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.
