Lowder (shoulder) is expected to face hitters Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

Lowder has ramped up his rehab and completed a high-intensity throwing session Monday. The right-hander is working his way back from right shoulder discomfort that cropped up during a May 7 start. Even if a brief rehab assignment is necessary, Lowder could be ready for activation by the end of the week.

Waldschmidt batted sixth and went 0-for-5 in Monday's 6-2 win over San Francisco.

Waldschmidt moved up the batting order from ninth to sixth the last two games, as the Diamondbacks incorporated recent call-up Tommy Troy into the lineup. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo slotted Waldschmidt there Sunday and told Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports that upon further reflection, he liked what he saw from the rookie. "I thought [Sunday] it was mostly a reflection of the lineup and who was not in the lineup that pushed him forward," Lovullo said. "But I like the way it looked and I'll probably stay with that for a little while." Waldschmidt has never gone more than one game without a hit since being called up and is batting .321 with five extra-base hits, five steals, seven RBI and nine runs scored over 17 games.

Lawlar (wrist) took on-field batting practice last week, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Lawlar felt good following the batting-practice session, though the skipper doesn't believe the infielder is ready for game action. Lawlar is eligible to return from the 60-day injured list June 2, but he'll likely need additional time beyond that to recover from his fractured right wrist before being activated.

Caissie went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 8-2 victory over the Blue Jays.

Caissie got in on the offensive action, slugging an RBI double in the fifth inning before adding an RBI single in the eighth frame. Monday marked the outfielder's third multi-hit effort in what has been a challenging campaign. He's hitting .221 with four homers, eight doubles, 26 RBI, 15 runs and three stolen bases across 47 contests in 2026.

Sanoja went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Blue Jays.

Sanoja racked up a pair of doubles, with his sixth-inning two-bagger plating a pair of runs. The 23-year-old has swung the bat well of late, tallying seven extra-base hits (one homer), 10 RBI and four runs across his past seven contests. Sanoja has started five of the past six games and should continue to see regular playing time while his bat stays hot.

Stowers went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 8-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Stowers piled up doubles Monday, driving in a run with one in the sixth inning and another in the eighth frame. The 28-year-old has shown some extra-base pop of late, tallying five extra-base hits across his past six contests. The overall numbers for Stowers remain underwhelming, however, as he's hitting .216 with a .658 OPS, three homers, 10 RBI, 16 runs and a stolen base through 32 games after beginning the season on the injured list due to a right hamstring strain.

Junk (3-5) earned the win Monday, allowing one run on eight hits and no walks over five innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out three.

Junk allowed his fair share of traffic but was able to limit the damage, allowing just one run while capturing his first win since April 28. Monday's outing snapped a nightmarish three-start stretch for the 30-year-old, who had surrendered 19 runs over his previous 16.2 innings. Junk will carry a 4.80 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 43:13 K:BB across 60 innings (11 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Sunday against the Mets.

Tatis went 2-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Monday's loss against the Phillies.

Tatis followed up his three-hit performance Sunday by reaching base four times Monday, though both came in losing efforts. The 27-year-old is still searching for his first homer of the campaign, but he has swung the bat much better of late, going 10-for-24 (.417) across the past seven contests while reaching safely in nine consecutive games. His stolen-base total is now up to 13, tied for third-best in the National League.

Hernandez went 2-for-2 with a double and an RBI in a 5-3 win against Colorado on Monday.

Hernandez missed Los Angeles' first 53 games while recovering from elbow surgery, and Monday marked his season debut. He didn't take long to make an impact, roping a double to left field in his first plate appearance to give the Dodgers an early lead. Hernandez added an infield single in the fifth before exiting in favor of a pinch hitter in the seventh. Hernandez started at third base Monday in place of Max Muncy (wrist). Muncy could be back as soon as Wednesday, but Hernandez could still see occasional starts given his ability to play just about anywhere on the diamond aside from catcher.

Marsh went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 3-0 win over the Padres.

Marsh extended the Phillies' lead with a line-drive, two-run smash over the right-field fence in the top of the seventh inning. It marked the outfielder's first homer since April 24, though he still managed to post an .801 OPS across 27 games during the dry spell. Marsh's .318 batting average ranks third in MLB to go along with 16 extra-base hits (five homers), 24 RBI, 28 runs and four stolen bases across 50 contests.
