Pavin Smith

ARI First Baseman #26

Pavin Smith delivered a three-run homer, a grand slam and a solo blast in his first three at-bats Sunday to power the Diamondbacks past the Astros 12-6.

Smith had two chances at homer No. 4, but he struck out in the seventh and walked (after previously taking what really should have been strike three) in the ninth. Smith has come to the plate 102 times and hit seven homers this year, matching his total from 228 plate appearances last year. His strikeout rate is also well down, and his exit velocity numbers are terrific. It would have been fun to see what he could do when Christian Walker was hurt, but the D-backs were able to acquire Josh Bell then. He has earned an opportunity to be a starter against righties next year.
Ryne Nelson

ARI Starting Pitcher #19

Ryne Nelson surrendered five runs in 4 2/3 innings Sunday against the Astros.

Nelson was handed an 8-0 lead after three, but the Astros got to him for two runs in the fourth and three in the fifth, causing him to be pulled an out shy of qualifying for the win. Nelson’s streak of quality starts was snapped at five. He’ll likely make his next start Sunday against the Brewers.
Eugenio Suarez

ARI Third Baseman #28

Eugenio Suárez went 4-for-5 with a homer and four runs scored versus the Astros on Sunday.

That would usually make a player his team’s offensive star for the night, but the guy hitting behind Suárez supplied three homers in this one. It helped Suárez score four runs for the second time in six weeks as well as the second time in his career; he previously did it in his three-homer game July 30 against the Nationals. Suárez’s homer off Josh Hader was his 26th, and it gave him his third 90-RBI season.
Ketel Marte

ARI Center Fielder #4

Ketel Marte is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Astros.

Marte will get a day off, and the same can be said for Christian Walker. Both players were activated off the injured list Friday, so this appears to just be maintenance for both players as they get ready for the home stretch. Josh Bell gets the start at first with Joc Pederson the DH, and Luis Guillorme is starting at second.
Jordan Lawlar

ARI Shortstop #10

Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) is hitting second and playing shortstop for Double-A Amarillo on Sunday.

Lawlar is working his way back from the hamstring injury that has sidelined him for the overwhelming majority of the season. The 22-year-old is expected to report back to Triple_A soon, but it seems unlikely that he’ll play for the Diamondbacks in 2024. He’s definitely still an upside play in the future.
Eugenio Suarez

ARI Third Baseman #28

Eugenio Suárez went 2-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored against the Astros on Saturday.

Suárez knocked a base hit to lead off the second inning and scored on a single by Kevin Newman. He later led off the sixth inning with a solo homer off Yusei Kikuchi, already his third of the month. The 33-year-old third baseman is hitting .244/.314/.458 with 25 homers and 88 RBI across 561 plate appearances.
Eduardo Rodriguez

ARI Starting Pitcher #57

Eduardo Rodríguez allowed five runs -- four earned -- over four innings in a no-decision against the Astros on Saturday.

Rodriguez dodged some trouble in the first two innings before Houston brought a run in to score on a groundout in the third. The Astros would get to him in the fourth. Two walks and a hit batter loaded the bases for Chas McCormick, who knocked a base hit to score two runs. A single, error, and a walk brought a fifth run in to score before Rodriguez could escape the inning. That would do it for the 31-year-old left-hander. He’ll take a 5.83 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, and an 18/10 K/BB ratio across 29 1/3 innings into a start against the Brewers in Arizona next weekend.
Brandon Pfaadt

ARI Starting Pitcher #32

Brandon Pfaadt was lifted after allowing four runs and eight hits in 4 2/3 innings against the Astros on Friday.

Pfaadt had a 3.92 ERA four weeks ago, but he’s since given up 21 earned runs in 33 2/3 innings, putting him at 4.42, even though his peripherals are pretty much unchanged. He’s due to face Milwaukee in his lone start next week, and he’ll probably pitch in Coors afterwards, so he’s very droppable in mixed leagues at this point.
Jordan Montgomery

ARI Starting Pitcher #52

Jordan Montgomery returned to the mound on Friday and gave up four runs in three innings out of the pen.

Montgomery left Monday’s game because of an ankle contusion. He came in with the Diamondbacks down 4-0 tonight, and the team never scored, rendering his performance moot.
Jose Herrera

ARI Catcher #11

José Herrera left Friday’s game in the fifth inning after being hit on the top of his helmet with Kyle Tucker’s backswing.

Tucker’s bat came right down on the crown of Herrera’s helmet, seemingly leaving him dazed. Adrian del Castillo took over as Arizona’s catcher. Andrew Knizner would likely get a callup if Herrera lands on the concussion IL.
