Marte went 2-for-6 with two doubles and an RBI in Tuesday's 4-2 extra-innings loss to the Marlins.

Marte drove home the designated runner in the bottom of the 11th inning after Miami scored three times in the top of the frame. It was a frustrating night for the Diamondbacks, who went 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position and missed an opportunity to gain ground in the playoff chase. Marte's hit safely in 12 of 13 games since returning from the injured list, going 14-for-54 with six doubles, one home run, seven RBI and six runs scored.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said following Tuesday's game that Arenado (thumb) will be in the lineup Wednesday, Arizona Sports reports.

Arenado was removed from Tuesday's game due to the injury that flared up following a fifth-inning at-bat. He played another inning before being replaced by Jose Fernandez. Fernandez or Ildemaro Vargas would be in line to replace Arenado at the hot corner should the thumb injury linger.

Arraez went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk and an RBI in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Nationals.

The light-hitting infielder tallied a rare showing of multiple extra-base hits, his first such effort since June 30 in Arizona as a member of the Giants. Arraez is targeting his fourth career batting title in 2026, jockeying primarily with Nick Gonzales, Otto Lopez and Gabriel Moreno in the race for the National League crown at this stage of the season. He's hitting an MLB-best .315 in 143 games on the year, and Arraez is batting .291 with two homers, nine doubles, 17 RBI and 14 runs scored over 148 at-bats since being dealt to the Phillies.

Moreno went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two walks and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-2 extra-innings loss to the Marlins.

Moreno did a bit of everything in this contest, including catching all 11 innings. He has gone 15-for-43 (.349) with three homers over his last 11 contests. The catcher is batting .303 with an .856 OPS, 14 homers, 74 RBI, 64 runs scored, six steals, 31 doubles and one triple across a career-high 121 contests.

Soroka allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out six over five innings in a no-decision versus the Marlins on Tuesday.

Soroka stretched out to 80 pitches (53 strikes) in his second appearance back from a shoulder injury, up from 58 pitches in his relief outing last week. The right-hander has allowed four runs over nine innings since his return. He's now at a 3.45 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 101:26 K:BB across 104.1 innings over 20 games (19 starts) this season. Soroka has won the battle for a rotation spot down the stretch since Zac Gallen was demoted to the bullpen Sunday. Soroka's next outing is projected to be in Colorado.

Conine went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-2 extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks.

Conine has gone 15-for-49 (.306) over 14 contests in September. He's added two homers and seven RBI in that span. The outfielder is now batting .262 with an .848 OPS, 16 homers, 38 RBI, 41 runs scored, eight doubles and four stolen bases over 84 contests this season.

The outfielder is batting .297 with a .760 OPS, three home runs, 26 RBI, 39 runs scored and 14 doubles over 87 contests while primarily playing in a strong-side platoon role.

Lowe went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Mariners.

Lowe went deep off Logan Gilbert in the sixth inning, and that play was the difference in the game. After doubling his hit total for the month, Lowe is 4-for-20 (.200) across 11 games in September while filling a part-time role. He's batting .210 with a .644 OPS, 12 homers, 29 RBI, 28 runs scored, eight doubles and nine stolen bases across 104 contests this season.

Watson allowed a hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Mariners.

Watson has rebounded well after struggling late in August. He's on a seven-inning scoreless streak with a save and five holds over his last eight appearances.

He's added three saves, eight holds and two blown saves, with the bulk of his high-leverage work coming with the Angels.
