  • Tommy Henry SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Promoted Sunday

    The Diamondbacks recalled Henry from Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

    The left-hander will join the Diamondbacks for the first time in 2025 with Corbin Burnes (shoulder) and Merrill Kelly (hamstring) banged up. Burnes isn't starting Monday as scheduled, which is expected to result in Ryne Nelson making his first start of the season. Henry, who has an 8.53 ERA through six starts with Reno this year, is joining Arizona to provide some length out of the bullpen.

  • Carson Kelly C | CHC

    Cubs' Carson Kelly: Getting breather Sunday

    Kelly is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

    Kelly will take a seat for the series finale after drawing starts behind the plate in the first two games in Milwaukee. Miguel Amaya will handle catching duties Sunday.

  • Max Kepler LF | ARI

    Phillies' Max Kepler: Getting day off versus lefty

    Kepler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Kepler will hit the bench along with Brandon Marsh and Bryson Stott while the Diamondbacks send southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez to the hill. Weston Wilson will enter the lineup in Kepler's stead, drawing a start at first base while Bryce Harper serves as the Phillies' designated hitter and Kyle Schwarber mans left field.

  • Brandon Marsh LF | PHI

    Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Getting rest against lefty

    Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Marsh will hit the bench along with fellow left-handed-hitting regulars Bryson Stott and Max Kepler while the Diamondbacks send Eduardo Rodriguez to the hill for the series finale. After being activated from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Marsh started in center field in the Phillies' 7-2 win over Arizona, going 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI.

  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Idle against lefty

    Stott is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Stott will hit the bench along with fellow left-handed-hitting regulars Brandon Marsh and Max Kepler while the Diamondbacks send Eduardo Rodriguez to the hill. Edmundo Sosa will fill in for Stott at second base.

  • Pavin Smith 1B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Taking seat against lefty

    Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

    Platoon mate Randal Grichuk will replace Smith as the Diamondbacks' designated hitter while the Phillies send southpaw Ranger Suarez to the bump. Smith has logged just eight plate appearances against lefties all season.

  • Alek Thomas CF | LAD

    Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas: Idle against lefty

    Thomas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

    The left-handed-hitting Thomas will retreat to the bench for the series finale while the Phillies send southpaw Ranger Suarez to the hill. The Diamondbacks will replace Thomas in center field with a right-handed bat in Garrett Hampson.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Getting rest Sunday

    Marte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

    Marte returned from the injured list Friday and started at second base the past two days, going 1-for-7 with a walk. The 31-year-old hasn't reported any setbacks following his one-month stay on the IL due to a hamstring strain, so his absence Sunday is most likely a pre-planned rest day. Tim Tawa will draw the start at second base in his stead.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Getting day off

    Moreno is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

    Moreno will get a rest for the series finale after starting at catcher both of the past two days. Jose Herrera will step in behind the plate Sunday.

  • Jesus Sanchez DH | ARI

    Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Tending to back tightness

    Sanchez was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's 9-6 win over the Athletics due to back tightness and remains out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale, MLB.com reports.

    Sanchez hasn't played since Wednesday due to the issue, but the Marlins haven't suggested that the 27-year-old is at risk of landing on the injured list. With Sanchez on the bench Sunday for a third game in a row, the Marlins will roll out an outfield of Ronny Simon, Dane Myers and Kyle Stowers from left to right.
