Marte went 4-for-6 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored during Tuesday's 12-11 win over the Cubs.

Marte delivered a game-tying solo home run in the bottom of the ninth off Adbert Alzolay, setting up the D-Backs' 10-inning victory. He racked up a trio of hits outside of the homer and is now slashing .301/.361/.534 with four home runs and the second-most runs scored in MLB (19).

Alzolay blew the save Tuesday against Arizona, allowing one run on one hit and two walks across one inning. He didn't generate a strikeout.

Alzolay toed the rubber with a one-run lead in the bottom of the ninth and surrendered the game-tying home run to Ketel Marte. Following the long ball, Alzolay dished out back-to-back walks but avoided disaster by retiring Christian Walker to end the inning. He's converted on three of his six save opportunities this season. However, he's only allowed three runs in 8.2 innings -- all solo homers -- and still has a firm grip on ninth-inning duties.

Henry didn't factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing five runs on nine hits and a walk over 4.1 innings against the Cubs. He struck out three.

After yielding a pair of runs in back-to-back starts, Henry had a tough time getting through the Cubs' order. While he didn't surrender a home run, the Cubs accounted for six extra-base hits off Henry while he generated a season-low three strikeouts. With Jordan Montgomery set to join the D-Backs' rotation Friday, it appears as though Henry could be the odd man out.

Conforto is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Miami, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Southpaw Trevor Rogers will take the hill for the Marlins, so the left-handed-hitting Conforto will get a day off. Tyler Fitzgerald will get the start in left field for the Giants.

Hurt threw two shutout innings as the Dodgers' opener on Tuesday against the Nationals. He allowed three hits and did not walk or strike out a batter.

Hurt was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma to start Tuesday's game and managed to work through two scoreless frames. The Nationals opened up the game with three straight hits but did not score after CJ Abrams was thrown out at home on a Jesse Winker double. Hurt has now given up two runs (one earned) while striking out three in 6.2 major-league innings this year.

Hendricks didn't factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing seven runs on five hits and three walks across 4.1 innings against Arizona. He struck out three.

Hendricks gave up four extra-base hits on the day, including a solo home run to Joc Pederson and a two-run homer to Lourdes Gurriel. The 34-year-old has given up five or more runs in each of his four starts this season and has surrendered seven home runs in 17 innings of work. He's lined up for a decent bounce-back opportunity against the Marlins on Sunday.

Rivera is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rivera has been getting regular reps at third base since Jake Burger (intercostal) landed on the injured list, but he'll begin the series finale on the bench. Otto Lopez will occupy the hot corner for Miami.

Fortes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The Marlins and Giants have an afternoon game following a Tuesday night tilt, so Fortes will get a breather. Jhonny Pereda will make his first major-league start, handling the catching duties while Trevor Rogers is on the bump. Fortes has mustered a .305 OPS through 35 plate appearances this season but is still expected to see the bulk of the starts behind the plate while Christian Bethancourt (illness) is on the injured list.

Pages went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Nationals.

Pages swung at the first pitch he saw and notched a base hit to right field before later coming around to score. Manager Dave Roberts said Pages will play against both left- and right-handed pitching, so expect consistent playing time for the 23-year-old during his transition to the majors.

Cronin was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville by the Marlins on Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Cronin made two scoreless relief appearances for the Marlins earlier this season and returns to give the bullpen a fresh arm. He'll operate in middle relief.
