Schwellenbach (6-4) yielded two runs on four hits and a walk over seven innings Monday, striking out four and earning a win against the Mets.

Schwellenbach rolled through five shutout frames before Juan Soto popped a two-run shot in the sixth inning. Other than that, Schwellenbach allowed only one runner to reach scoring position. He's thrown at least seven innings in three straight outings and six of his last eight; during that span, he's produced a 3.04 ERA over 56.1 innings. Schwellenbach owns a 3.21 ERA with a 96:17 K:BB this season. He's projected for a home matchup with the Phillies this weekend.

McCarthy is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Reno, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

While the move isn't official just yet, McCarthy will be promoted to take the place of Corbin Carroll (wrist), who is expected to land on the 10-day injured list. McCarthy will presumably operate as a bench bat after hitting just .073 with three RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored during his first big-league stint of the 2025 campaign, which ended April 19.

DeSclafani picked up the save in Monday's 10-0 win versus the White Sox, allowing two walks and no hits over three scoreless innings. He struck out four.

The grizzled veteran secured his first career save with this performance, as he generated an impressive 11 whiffs out of 45 total pitches. DeSclafani hadn't pitched since 2023 before joining Arizona on June 15. Following this appearance, the 35-year-old now sports a 6.14 ERA through 7.1 total frames and looks set to continue working in long relief for the Diamondbacks.

Lodolo did not factor in the decision during Monday's win over the Yankees. He allowed a run on six hits while striking out six over 4.1 frames.

Lodolo coughed up a solo shot to Aaron Judge in the first inning but otherwise kept the Yankees off the board. However, despite not walking a batter, Lodolo threw 94 pitches and failed to complete five frames. It was the second time in his last three starts that he threw fewer than five innings, and he coughed up six runs in the other. Lodolo is now sporting a 3.63 ERA with an 80:18 K:BB through 89.1 innings this season. He's lined up to face the Padres at home this weekend.

Smith went 2-for-4 with two homers, four RBI and a walk in Monday's 10-0 victory over the White Sox.

Smith extended Arizona's lead to 5-0 with a three-run long ball off Chicago starter Shane Smith in the second inning. The 29-year-old wasn't finished, as he returned to launch a 416-foot solo shot in the fourth off reliever Dan Altavilla to collect his second career multi-homer game. This pair of blasts is a welcome sight for Smith since he entered the contest with a .158/.340/.316 slash line across 50 plate appearances in June.

De La Cruz went 3-for-4 with a home run, a triple, three RBI and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Yankees.

De La Cruz knocked an RBI triple during the Reds' three-run fourth inning and added an RBI single in the fifth. He capped off his big night with a solo shot in the eighth. It was his 18th long ball of the year and sixth in his last 11 contests. De La Cruz has gone 24-for-72 (.333) in June, raising his season slash line to .272/.348/.513 with 35 extra-base hits and 55 RBI.

Carroll is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list after his MRI and CT results revealed a chip fracture in his left wrist, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

The club is still seeking additional medical opinions on Carroll's injury, so a timetable for his return isn't available at this time. Randal Grichuk and Tim Tawa should be in line for more opportunities in right field while Carroll is on the mend.

Rodriguez (3-4) earned the win Monday against the White Sox, allowing five hits and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out 10.

The veteran southpaw notched his third game of double-digit Ks and third quality start of the season with this 92-pitch performance. Rodriguez entered this month with an unsightly 7.05 ERA; however, things were better under the hood as evidenced by a 4.28 FIP and 10.5 K/9. He has been much improved so far in June, pitching to a 2.05 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 22 innings. The 32-year-old is scheduled to take his next turn in the rotation in Arizona's home series against Miami this weekend.

Ruiz was removed from Monday's game against the Padres after suffering an apparent head injury, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Ruiz was in the dugout when he was struck by a foul ball off the bat of teammate Josh Bell in the top of the fourth inning. Ruiz was later replaced by Riley Adams.

Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-3 with two doubles and two runs scored in Monday's 8-2 loss to the Cardinals.

Crow-Armstrong was about the only positive for the Cubs on Monday, as he delivered the team's only extra-base hits and runs. The outfielder has hit safely in five of his last six games, and he's now batting .278 with 15 runs scored in 19 contests this month. For the season, Crow-Armstrong is batting .273 with an .877 OPS, and he's provided tremendous fantasy value with a team-high 21 home runs and 23 stolen bases.
