Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Mired in slump
Carroll went 1-for-4 with a walk, a double and an RBI in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Brewers.
Carroll doubled in Arizona's first run in the opening inning, and his seventh-inning walk contributed to the team's second run. It was a perfectly fine day for the outfielder, but Carroll has been mired in a slump. Entering Sunday's game, he had just one hit over the previous 24 at-bats. He told Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports that's right-handed pitchers have been problematic. The left-handed batter, who owns a career OPS of .857 against righties, has fallen to .768 in 2026.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Steals base in loss
Tawa started at third base and went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Milwaukee.
Tawa, who was called up Sunday and gave Nolan Arenado a breather at the hot corner, stole his first base in three attempts in the majors this season. He's also had a couple of steals (caught once) in the minors. Tawa is not a volume base stealer but has swiped between 10 and 14 bags in each of five previous seasons of professional ball. He gives the Diamondbacks more flexibility off the bench than the player he replaced, LuJames Groover, who was buried at first base behind Pavin Smith and Ildemaro Vargas.

Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Three hits, steal in loss
Perdomo went 3-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Brewers.
Perdomo has gone 12-for-40 (.300) with three extra-base hits and two steals over his last 10 games. The shortstop was the only Diamondback with multiple hits in this contest. He's batting .243 on the year while adding a .708 OPS, five home runs, 31 RBI, 39 runs scored, 13 doubles, three triples and 13 steals across 86 contests.

Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Takes loss in quality start
Rodriguez (7-3) allowed two runs on five hits and struck out three without walking a batter over six-plus innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Brewers.
Rodriguez blanked the Brewers for six innings, but he served up a two-run home run to Jake Bauers in the seventh. This was Rodriguez's fourth straight quality start, a span in which he's allowed just four runs over 26.2 innings. He's also avoided walking any batters over his last two outings. For the season, the left-hander is at a 2.25 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 74:38 K:BB through 108 innings across 18 starts. Rodriguez is lined up to make his next start in a tough test on the road versus the Dodgers.

Diamondbacks' LuJames Groover: Bound for Triple-A
The Diamondbacks optioned Groover to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.
After making starts in just one of the Diamondbacks' last seven games, Groover will head back to Triple-A to receive steadier playing time. Arizona recalled utility man Tim Tawa from Triple-A to join the active roster as a replacement for Groover, who slashed .167/.259/.271 with one home run, four RBI and four runs in 15 games during his month-long stay with the big club.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Called up, starting Sunday
Arizona recalled Tawa from Triple-A Reno on Sunday.
With Nolan Arenado resting for Sunday's series finale versus Milwaukee, Tawa will enter the starting nine at third base and will bat seventh. Tawa isn't expected to be in line for steady at-bats while he's up with Arizona and will bring most of his value in his ability to play three infield and all three outfield spots. He's logged 76 plate appearances with Arizona this season, slashing .172/.270/.266 with one home run, eight RBI and six runs.

Diamondbacks' Max Kepler: Back on bench Sunday
Kepler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
The left-handed-hitting Kepler will hit the bench for the third time in four games, with two of his absences coming against right-handed starters. After completing an 80-game suspension to begin the season and making his Arizona debut June 25, Kepler appeared primed for a strong-side platoon role in the left field. However, Kepler's ongoing struggles appear to have cost him some playing time; he's gone just 2-for-18 at the plate through his first six games with Arizona.

Diamondbacks' Nolan Arenado: Given afternoon off
Arenado is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
The freshly recalled Tim Tawa will draw the start at third base while Arenado rests for the series finale. Arenado will hit the bench for the first time since May 30, ending a streak of 31 consecutive starts.

Diamondbacks' Ildemaro Vargas: Makes second straight start
Vargas started at first base and went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.
Vargas' eighth-inning double plated what eventually turned out to be the winning run. He made a second straight start at first base and is 4-for-8 with two RBI in those two games. Saturday's start was against a right-hander, which is usually Pavin Smith's job. Even though the early-season shine has come off Vargas' bat -- he had a .102 batting average and .336 OPS over 34 games from May 20 through the end of June -- he could gain more opportunities, as Smith (.152/.260/.212) is having his own struggles at the plate.

Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Sits against right-hander
Smith was held out of the starting lineup Saturday against Milwaukee right-hander Brandon Woodruff.
Smith is typically a lineup staple against righties, but Ildemaro Vargas got the start at first base Saturday. Smith is a career 1-for-11 against Woodruff, but the decision to sit him may have been more about a current slump. Smith is batting just .152 since coming off the injured list in late May and entered Saturday with two hits over his last 27 at-bats (.074).

Diamondbacks' Adrian Del Castillo: Homers in Saturday's win
Del Castillo went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.
This was his first homer since May 26 versus the Giants. In the 16 games in between long balls, the catcher batted just .158 (6-for-38) while receding into a backup role. He's hitting .185 with a .555 OPS, five homers, 23 RBI, 12 runs scored, four doubles and no stolen bases over 164 plate appearances this season. Del Castillo's playing time could dwindle even more once James McCann (quadriceps) returns from the injured list, which is expected to happen as soon as Monday.

Diamondbacks' Paul Sewald: Shaky in 20th save
Sewald allowed a run on one hit and struck out two over one inning to earn the save in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.
Sewald had another shaky appearance, but he was able to uphold the lead. He's given up seven runs over his last 5.2 innings, but he's converted all three of his save chances in that span. On the season, the closer has a 4.50 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 35:8 K:BB through 32 innings while converting 20 of 21 save opportunities.

Diamondbacks' Merrill Kelly: Snaps skid Saturday
Kelly (6-8) allowed two runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings to earn the win over the Brewers on Saturday.
Kelly lost all five of his starts and had a 7.31 ERA in June, but he was able to get back in the win column in his first July outing. The veteran right-hander limited the damage to a two-run home run by Christian Yelich in the fifth inning Saturday. Kelly is now at a 5.71 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 53:35 K:BB across 86.2 innings through 15 starts on the year. His next start is projected to be on the road in San Diego.

Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: On bench to begin Saturday
Gurriel isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Milwaukee.
Gurriel had started five straight contests, going 4-for-20 with a home run, two doubles and three RBI during that span. He'll get at least a partial day off Saturday while Gabriel Moreno moves from behind the plate to get a turn at DH.

Diamondbacks' James McCann: Two more rehab games scheduled
McCann (quadriceps) will play Saturday and Sunday for Triple-A Reno and could then rejoin the Diamondbacks, MLB.com reports.
McCann began a rehab assignment Thursday for Aces, going 0-for-4 while catching seven innings. The back-to-back games this weekend set McCann up to rejoin Arizona for Monday's game in San Diego.
