Mantiply will start Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports. The veteran left-hander will serve as an opener for the second time this season and the fifth time in his career. Mantiply hasn't recorded more than five outs in an appearance this season and should hand things over to Ryne Nelson after an inning or two Tuesday.

Manager Torey Lovullo said Mantiply will serve as the Diamondbacks' opening pitcher for Monday's game against the Dodgers, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports. The left-handed Mantiply has limited opposing lefties to a .275 wOBA over his career, so the Diamondbacks will likely hope that he can limit the damage from the Dodgers' usual Nos. 2 and 3 hitters -- left-handed batters Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman -- before he turns the game over to the bullpen. Monday had been Slade Cecconi's turn in the rotation, and the expectation is that he'll work behind Mantiply in bulk relief.

Mantiply (1-0) picked up Wednesday's win over Colorado, retiring the lone batter faced in the eighth inning. Mantiply entered to get the final out of the inning against the lefty-hitting Michael Toglia. That put the pitcher in line for the win when the Diamondbacks scored two runs in the top of the ninth. Following a rough season debut (two runs, three hits, one inning), the left-hander has authored five consecutive scoreless outings. Mantiply will continue to work as a seventh/eighth inning reliever in setup for fill-in closer Kevin Ginkel.

Mantiply allowed a walk over a scoreless inning in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to Atlanta. Mantiply's effort spanned the seventh and eighth innings and was his third straight scoreless outing after he ceded a pair of runs in his regular-season debut. The lefty could be used at any time in a game and is one of two southpaws in the bullpen.

Mantiply allowed one hit and hit two batters over a scoreless inning in Friday's spring game against Cincinnati. Mantiply loaded the bases with one out but wriggled out of the jam by inducing a 5-2-3 double play. That he faced adversity and pitched out it is the positive spin on the left-hander's first Cactus League appearance. He's expected to occupy a spot in the bullpen to open the season, but the one-time high-leverage option needs better results to reclaim a trusted role in 2024. Mantiply recorded a 4.62 ERA with a diminished strikeout rate and increased walk rate in 2023.
