The Diamondbacks recalled Castellanos from Triple-A Reno on Friday.

The right-hander was sent to Reno on July 23 but will return to the majors as Bryce Jarvis (elbow) heads to the injured list. Castellanos has appeared in seven big-league games this season and has a 5.23 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 7:4 K:BB over 10.1 innings.

The Diamondbacks placed Jarvis on the 15-day injured list Friday due to a sprained right elbow.

It's unclear when exactly the right-hander sustained the injury, but he last pitched Tuesday against the Nationals and allowed two hits with two strikeouts over a scoreless frame. Jarvis will be eligible to be reinstated in mid-August, but it's possible he faces a longer absence.

Ruiz (groin) will start at catcher and bat sixth in Friday's game versus the Brewers, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

Ruiz had to depart the Nationals' last game on Wednesday in Arizona with a groin injury, but he won't wind up missing any starts. The switch-hitting catcher hit four home runs in July, doubling his season total.

Wade is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Cincinnati, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

The Reds are starting lefty Andrew Abbott, so the left-handed hitting Wade will begin the game on the bench as he typically does in such situations. New trade acquisition Mark Canha will play first base Friday for the Giants.

Yastrzemski is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Cincinnati, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

The Reds are sending southpaw Andrew Abbott to the hill, so Yastrzemski will begin this one on the bench. Jerar Encarnacion is in right field in what will be his Giants debut.

Rodriguez (shoulder) has joined the Diamondbacks in Pittsburgh and appears on track to make his season debut next week in Cleveland, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Rodriguez had been slated to throw a four-inning, 65-pitch simulated game Wednesday and it appears he came out of that with no concerns. The left-hander could make his season and Diamondbacks debut as soon as Monday, although the club might choose to keep Zac Gallen on turn that day and give Rodriguez the ball Tuesday. If Rodriguez starts either of those days, he would be in line for a two-start week.

Kiner-Falefa (knee) will report to Double-A Altoona on Friday to begin a rehab assignment, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

The 29-year-old made two rehab appearances last weekend before being acquired by the Pirates from the Blue Jays, and he'll continue the assignment with his new organization. Kiner-Falefa has been sidelined about a month by a left knee sprain, so he shouldn't require a lengthy stay in the minors and could join Pittsburgh early next week.

Marte is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.

It's the second straight game on the bench for Marte, who has a .177/.231/.281 slash line and 30.8 percent strikeout rate in 104 plate appearances since returning from his 80-game PED suspension in late June. Santiago Espinal will receive another start at third base Friday and could continue to cut into Marte's playing time after finishing July with a 1.184 OPS in 16 games.

Fraley is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.

Fraley has a .917 OPS with two homers and two steals in 10 games since the All-Star break, but he'll sit Friday as southpaw Blake Snell takes the mound for San Francisco. Stuart Fairchild will start in right field and bat eighth in the series opener.

The Reds optioned Yang to Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

Yang served as Tyler Stephenson's backup while Luke Maile (back) and Austin Wynns (shoulder) were sidelined, but Maile is back now to reclaim that gig. The 26-year-old Yang struck out in his lone plate appearance.
