Newman started at second base and went 1-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's 8-7 extra-innings loss to the Rays.
Newman remained at second base in place of Ketel Marte, who was held out of the starting lineup then aggravated an ankle injury during a pinch hitting appearance. Marte had returned to the lineup as the DH for Saturday's contest with the intent to bring him back slowly. If the Diamondbacks choose to place Marte on the 10-day injured list, Newman would be part of the crew that helps fill the void at second base. Blaze Alexander is also an option.
