Dubon went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Friday's win over the Pirates.

Dubon has been swinging a hot bat of late and has gone yard in three games in a row, with two multi-hit performances, seven RBI and four runs scored over that stretch. The eight-year veteran is trending in the right direction after hitting just .222 with a .600 OPS across 26 games in May.

Lawlar (wrist) moved his rehab to Triple-A Reno on Thursday and played consecutive games for the Aces. He went a combined 3-for-7 with two doubles, a triple and an RBI.

Lawlar played a full nine innings in center field Thursday and eight innings in left field a day later. He's had a combined 21 plate appearances between the ACL and Triple-A, but the Diamondbacks haven't made public a prescribed number of plate appearances for Lawlar, who has been out since early April. That he played the field on consecutive days is a positive sign that Lawlar could return within a week.

Abrams went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two walks and two total runs scored in Friday's 14-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Abrams had gone six games without an RBI prior to Friday, though he hit safely in four of them. The shortstop has gone 11-for-36 (.306) with four extra-base hits and two stolen bases over his last 10 contests. For the season, he's batting .291 with a .922 OPS, 13 homers, 48 RBI, 40 runs scored, nine steals, 13 doubles and two triples over 63 games.

Adames went 2-for-2 with two walks, two home runs, four runs scored and four RBI in Friday's 18-3 rout of the Cubs.

Three different Giants hitters launched two long balls on the afternoon, with Adames' pair coming in the first inning off Edward Cabrera and in the sixth off Hoby Milner. Adames has 11 homers on the season, with eight of them coming in his last 17 games -- a stretch in which the shortstop is batting .297 (19-for-64) with 16 RBI and 17 runs.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Thursday that the plan for now is to keep Perdomo in the lower third of the batting order, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

Perdomo hit out of the seventh spot Thursday and responded with two hits, including a two-out, game-tying single in the bottom of the eighth inning. Perdomo could move around the lineup depending on days off for teammates, but the plan is to mainly keep in the seven-hole for now. The shortstop had a breakout 2025 but is slashing .230/.333/.348 with three home runs, 22 RBI, eight steals and 27 runs through 59 games in 2026.

Dubon went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Blue Jays.

Dubon provided one of Atlanta's few offensive highlights as he accounted for half his team's hits on the night, launching a solo homer in the eighth inning to cut Toronto's lead to 3-2. The long ball was his fifth of the season and his second in as many games. Unfortunately for Atlanta, the momentum was short-lived as the Blue Jays answered with four runs in the following frame. Dubon entered Thursday deep into a slump, batting just .129 over his previous nine games, making the multi-hit effort an encouraging sign. The utility man is slashing .255/.312/.398 with 12 doubles, two triples, 33 RBI and 24 runs scored across 234 plate appearances.

Perdomo will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Thursday's game against the Dodgers.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo noted during Perdomo's day off Tuesday that he was thinking of moving the 26-year-old down in the batting order from his usual No. 3 spot. Perdomo batted leadoff Wednesday while Ketel Marte (back/hamstring) was banged up, but the shortstop will hit a season-low seventh in Thursday's series finale. It's the first time all season batting lower than third for Perdomo, who is slashing only .225/.331/.345 this year following his breakout 2025 campaign.

Mateo is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Blue Jays.

After starting six consecutive games (four at shortstop), Mateo has now been absent from the lineup two days in a row despite posting a .984 OPS during that former span. Mauricio Dubon is getting a start at shortstop for Atlanta in the series finale.

Dubon went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Blue Jays.

Dubon hit a three-run blast into the right-field bullpen in the third inning to give Atlanta a 4-2 lead, which it wouldn't relinquish. The super-utility man has been playing left field pretty consistently after moving from shortstop once Ha-Seong Kim came back from injury. This game ended a 3-for-27 slump since May 23 for Dubon, and on the season he's slashing .249/.304/.380 with four homers, 23 runs and 32 RBI in 58 contests.

Tovar isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Tovar will get a chance to regroup Wednesday after going 0-for-9 with six strikeouts over the first two games of the series. Willi Castro will shift to shortstop in Tovar's absence, opening up second base for Edouard Julien.
