Gurriel went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 4-2 win over St. Louis.

Gurriel delivered a game-deciding three-run homer in the sixth inning. He had earlier singled in the first inning to extend a hit streak to seven contests, during which he has gone 11-for-30 (.367) with a home run and eight RBI. The blast was the fourth of the season for Gurriel, who went deep in each of the first three games of the season.

Sewald (oblique) threw a bullpen session Saturday, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

Sewald threw 18 pitches in what was his first bullpen session since being placed on the injured list in late March. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo was unsure of the next steps but believes another bullpen is likely. The club will want to see how the right-hander responds Sunday before moving forward.

Montgomery will make his Diamondbacks debut Friday in San Francisco, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Montgomery was not sharp in his final tune-up start with Triple-A Reno on Saturday, allowing seven runs on nine hits and two walks over 3.2 innings. He served up two home runs in the outing. Montgomery got his pitch count up to 71, though, and as long as he bounces back with no issues he'll join Arizona's rotation next week. It will be either Tommy Henry or Ryne Nelson bumped from the rotation when Montgomery returns, and Nelson stated his case to stay Saturday with six innings of one-run ball versus the Cardinals.

Candelario went 1-for-4 with a double and run scored in Saturday's 5-0 win over the White Sox.

Candelario returned to action after being held out of Friday's game and was back in the leadoff spot despite a season-opening slump. He entered the game on a 1-for-16 run and without a hit in 10 straight at-bats.

Fairchild went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-0 win over the White Sox.

Fairchild stole his fifth base in five attempts in what has been a part-time role to start the season. He should continue to be a lineup regular against left-handers until TJ Friedl (wrist) is ready to play. Friedl recently had a checkup and needs another week to 10 days of being limited to light activity, pushing his return into the first half of May.

The Dodgers recalled Feyereisen from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

Feyereisen was knocked around for three runs over one inning of work in the second game of the Dodgers' series in South Korea versus the Padres. It was the 31-year-old's first appearance in the majors since 2022, as he missed all of 2023 following shoulder surgery. Feyereisen will probably work in middle relief for the time being.

Ramirez was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City by the Dodgers on Saturday.

Acquired from the Yankees earlier this month, Ramirez posted a 2.66 ERA and 28:9 K:BB over 40.2 innings at the big-league level in 2023. He should operate in low-leverage spots for the Dodgers.

The Dodgers placed Brogdon on the 15-day injured list Saturday with plantar fasciitis in his right foot.

It's not clear how long he might be sidelined. Brogdon was acquired from the Phillies earlier this week and allowed two runs over one inning in his lone appearance with the Dodgers.

Miller was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right shoulder inflammation, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

A source told Harris that Miller's injury is "not severe" and surgery isn't expected to be needed, while Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic added that an MRI showed no structural damage. However, Miller is without a timeline for a return at this stage, and the Dodgers certainly will be cautious with the prized right-hander. Miller had struggled in his last two starts, allowing seven runs over 5.2 innings. He had been scheduled to start early next week against the Nationals, and it's not yet clear who might be tabbed to replace him in the Los Angeles rotation.

Meyer (2-0) picked up the win against Atlanta on Saturday, allowing just one run on six hits over six innings. He recorded seven strikeouts.

Atlanta had its everyday lineup out there (minus the injured Sean Murphy) but wasn't able to muster much offense against the young right-hander. In addition to the seven strikeouts and zero walks, Meyer induced 23 swinging strikes on 91 pitches, which is tied for the highest total for any pitcher so far this season. The righty's fastball velocity was actually down 1.2 mph in this one, but he still got seven whiffs on it along with 12 whiffs on his nasty slider. The Marlins will get Edward Cabrera (shoulder) and Braxton Garrett (shoulder) back soon, and Meyer faces workload restrictions this season after he didn't pitch at all last year while recovering from Tommy John surgery. However, with a 2.12 ERA through his first three starts, it's difficult to see him losing his rotation spot anytime soon.
