Arenado went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-1 extra-inning loss to the Mets.

Arenado collected his first RBI in eight contests when he left the yard in the second inning. It was his sixth homer through 35 games, halfway to the 12 he belted over 107 games in 2025. He's enjoying a nice bounce-back season in the desert with a .769 OPS, the third baseman's highest mark since 2023.

Devers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 5-2 win over the Pirates.

Devers tied the game at 1-1 with his second-inning blast. He's hit safely in his last eight contests, going 9-for-26 (.346) in that span with six RBI and four extra-base hits. The improved performance at the plate is a good sign as he faces some increased pressure from top prospect Bryce Eldridge for playing time. Devers is still hitting a meager .229 with a .625 OPS on the year, and he's racked up four homers, 16 RBI, 12 runs scored, six doubles and no stolen bases over 38 contests.

Busch went 1-for-3 with a three-run double, two walks, one stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 7-1 win over the Rangers.

Busch walked and stole his first base of the season in the sixth inning before hitting a bases-clearing, three-run double in the seventh to break the game open. After Busch got off to a really slow start over the first month of the season, he's been swinging a hot bat in May. In eight games this month, Busch is 11-for-27 with four doubles, a triple, a homer, 12 RBI, three runs scored and eight walks. He's raised his slash line to .234/.345/.369 with three homers, 23 RBI, 17 runs scored, one stolen base and a 23:36 BB:K across 168 plate appearances this season.

The Diamondbacks activated Locklear (shoulder/elbow) from the 10-day injured list Friday and optioned him to Triple-A Reno.

Locklear has completed the rehab from his elbow and shoulder operations and homered in his first rehab game at Reno. However, with the emergence of Ildemaro Vargas at first base and Carlos Santana (thigh) also due back soon, Locklear will remain at Reno for now.

Bohm is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies.

It's the second straight day on the bench for Bohm, who ranks 176th out of 177 qualifiers with a lowly .433 OPS. Edmundo Sosa will again handle third-base duties for the Phillies while Bohm regroups.

Suarez (oblique) took 50 swings Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Reds manager Terry Francona noted Friday that Suarez's left oblique strain is about 50 percent better. Suarez will rest for a few days after Thursday's workout before ramping things back up. While the veteran slugger is improving, his return is not imminent. Nathaniel Lowe will continue to be the Reds' primary designated hitter while Suarez is out.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Thursday there are no plans to take playing time away from Vargas when Carlos Santana (thigh) is ready to be activated, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Gilbert reports that Santana could rejoin the Diamondbacks as early as Friday, but there may not be a path to regular at-bats for the 39-year-old, who batted .083 over eight games at the time of his injury. Vargas has filled in at first base and has been an offensive juggernaut for Arizona, compiling a .364/.386/.627 slash line while topping the team with six home runs and 22 RBI.

Bohm isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

Bohm will catch a breather Thursday after going 4-for-20 with two RBI and a run scored through six games since the beginning of May. Edmundo Sosa will pick up a start at third base as a result and bat seventh.

Arenado is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Pirates.

Arenado had started every game since April 10, so he's earned a day of rest. Jose Fernandez will enter the lineup at third base in Arenado's stead.

Devers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Padres.

Devers hit a leadoff home run in the third inning, marking his first homer since April 8. The veteran infielder has recorded a hit in seven straight games, batting .318 with five RBI and two runs scored in 27 plate appearances during that span. He's now slashing .221/.265/.329 with 15 RBI, 10 runs scored, three long balls and a 29.8 percent strikeout rate across 151 plate appearances this season.
