Martin is part of a group of depth starters that may be needed to fill holes in the rotation going forward, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Martin, who had been a potential starter for the weekend series against the Rockies, did not pitch this weekend and is available for multiple spots in the rotation. Taylor Widener, who started Sunday, left after 1.2 innings with groin discomfort. Right-handers Zac Gallen (elbow) and Luke Weaver (shoulder) are already on the injured list. Weaver's getting a second opinion. Along with Martin, who made his first start for the team last week, Seth Frankoff and Matt Peacock made fill-in starts on Arizona's recently completed road trip. The Diamondbacks have not declared starters for home games Tuesday and Wednesday.

Reyes (2-1) lost Sunday's 2-1 match with Chicago, pitching one inning and allowing two runs (one earned) on one hit and two walks with two strikeouts.

Reyes entered a scoreless game in the tenth and surrendered a Javier Baez two-run home run before walking two Cubs, but he was able to strike out the next two batters to limit any further damage. The run was only the second Reyes has given up all season, and he remains one of the game's best closer options thanks to a 0.72 ERA and 12.5 K/9.

Kimbrel (1-2) pitched the final 1.1 innings of Sunday's 2-1 win over St. Louis, allowing an unearned run and a walk with two strikeouts to earn the win.

Kimbrel got the final out of the ninth and remained in the game for the 10th after Javier Baez gave the Cubs a two-run lead. Initial runner Paul Goldschmidt crossed the plate, but Kimbrel was able to limit the damage to guarantee the victory. He's allowed two runs in nine May innings.

Fulmer (3-3) was charged with the loss Sunday, allowing two runs on two hits without recording an out versus Kansas City. He also took a blown save.

Fulmer allowed an infield single to Whit Merrifield and a walkoff home run to Carlos Santana. The right-hander had allowed only one unearned run in his previous 10 innings before Sunday's disaster. Fulmer is now 4-for-5 in save chances with four holds, a 3.69 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 30:8 K:BB across 31.2 innings. He's made 13 of his 17 appearances as a reliever after he was removed from the rotation earlier in May.

Pressly (2-1) allowed an unearned run on one hit over 1.1 innings and took the loss against the Rangers on Sunday.

Pressly rolled through a perfect ninth inning on just eight pitches to keep the game tied at 3-3. He then forced two ground balls in the 10th inning, one to move Nick Solak over to third and another to bring Solak home for a Texas victory. It was the first loss or blown save of the year for the 32-year-old, who lowered his season ERA to 1.31.

Misiewicz (2-3) lost Sunday's 9-2 defeat at the hands of San Diego after allowing four hits and three runs without recording an out.

MIsiewicz relieved starter Justin Dunn in the sixth inning and proceeded to allow three singles and a double before exiting with the bases loaded. After not allowing a run to cross the plate in April, Misiewicz has now allowed 10 runs in six May innings and has seen his ERA balloon to 5.87.

Chapman (4-0) allowed one run on a hit and a walk while striking out one in one inning to earn the win against the White Sox on Sunday.

Chapman was charged with a blown save since he gave up his first run of the season to tie the game in the top of the ninth inning Sunday. However, the Yankees scored the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning to give Chapman his fourth win of the 2021 campaign. He's now posted a 0.47 ERA and 0.74 WHIP in 19 innings this season.

Bummer (0-3) allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out two in 1.1 innings to take the loss against the Yankees on Sunday.

Bummer tossed a scoreless eighth inning Sunday and remained in the contest to preserve a tie game in the bottom of the ninth. However, the lefty loaded the bases with one out before he was replaced by Liam Hendriks, who walked in the winning run. Bummer has now been charged with losses in each of his last two outings, and he's posted a 3.06 ERA in 17.2 innings this year.

Santillan is a potential candidate to get a spot start Friday for the Reds against the Cubs, with the team needing a pitcher to fill the gap until Wade Miley returns, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The Reds are off Monday, giving Tyler Mahle, Jeff Hoffman and Sonny Gray their regular rest before needing a spot start Friday. Santillan has a 1.86 ERA over 19.1 innings spread over four starts at Triple-A Louisville. Vladimir Gutierrez is also on the 40-man roster at Louisville and could make the start.

Manager Scott Servais confirmed Sunday that Graveman (undisclosed) is on the COVID-19 injured list, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Graveman landed on the injured list without a designation Sunday, so it's not very surprising that he's officially on the COVID-19 IL. Servais didn't offer any additional information regarding Graveman's status, so it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to the mound.
