Waldschmidt batted sixth and went 0-for-5 in Monday's 6-2 win over San Francisco.

Waldschmidt moved up the batting order from ninth to sixth the last two games, as the Diamondbacks incorporated recent call-up Tommy Troy into the lineup. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo slotted Waldschmidt there Sunday and told Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports that upon further reflection, he liked what he saw from the rookie. "I thought [Sunday] it was mostly a reflection of the lineup and who was not in the lineup that pushed him forward," Lovullo said. "But I like the way it looked and I'll probably stay with that for a little while." Waldschmidt has never gone more than one game without a hit since being called up and is batting .321 with five extra-base hits, five steals, seven RBI and nine runs scored over 17 games.

Lawlar (wrist) took on-field batting practice last week, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Lawlar felt good following the batting-practice session, though the skipper doesn't believe the infielder is ready for game action. Lawlar is eligible to return from the 60-day injured list June 2, but he'll likely need additional time beyond that to recover from his fractured right wrist before being activated.

Clement went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss against the Marlins.

Clement was a bright spot in the loss, launching a solo homer in the sixth inning to extend his hitting streak to eight games. The second baseman hasn't provided much over-the-fence thump with four homers in 213 plate appearances, though he has stood out with a .299 batting average and 17 doubles, tied with Matt Olson for the most in MLB.

Raley went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 9-2 victory versus the Athletics.

Raley was a key part of Seattle's six-run third inning, as he launched a two-run homer. That was his first long ball since we went deep in back-to-back games May 13 and 14. Raley frequently sits against left-handed starters, which dings his fantasy value to an extent. Still, he's putting up strong numbers overall, slashing .270/.329/.562 with 11 homers, 20 runs, 29 RBI and one stolen base through 150 plate appearances.

Arozarena went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, two total runs and three total RBI in a 9-2 win against the Athletics on Monday.

Arozarena knocked in a run with a double in the third inning and added a 437-foot, two-run homer in the ninth. He finished with multiple hits for the first time in six contests and tied his season-high mark in RBI. On the campaign, Arozarena is slashing a healthy .299/.390/.477 with six homers, 15 doubles, one triple, 38 runs, 25 RBI and 14 stolen bases through 55 games.

Caissie went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 8-2 victory over the Blue Jays.

Caissie got in on the offensive action, slugging an RBI double in the fifth inning before adding an RBI single in the eighth frame. Monday marked the outfielder's third multi-hit effort in what has been a challenging campaign. He's hitting .221 with four homers, eight doubles, 26 RBI, 15 runs and three stolen bases across 47 contests in 2026.

Civale (5-2) took the loss against Seattle on Monday, allowing seven runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out two batters over four innings.

It's generally a bad sign when a pitcher has more homers allowed than strikeouts on his stat line, and that was the case Monday, as Civale served up three long balls while notching just two punchouts. It was the second straight start in which the righty surrendered three home runs, and he's now given up eight homers across his past three starts after yielding only four through his first eight outings of the season. Civale has also surrendered 12 runs in nine innings across his past two starts, as his ERA has blown up from 2.70 to 4.20. He'll try to get back on track in what's projected to a tough matchup against the Yankees his next time out, but given that opponent, his recent struggles and his paltry 6.3 K/9 on the campaign, fantasy managers may be wise to look for other options.

Sanoja went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Blue Jays.

Sanoja racked up a pair of doubles, with his sixth-inning two-bagger plating a pair of runs. The 23-year-old has swung the bat well of late, tallying seven extra-base hits (one homer), 10 RBI and four runs across his past seven contests. Sanoja has started five of the past six games and should continue to see regular playing time while his bat stays hot.

Miller (1-0) earned the win over the Athletics on Monday, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks while striking out four batters over five bulk-relief innings.

Seattle went with the unorthodox pairing of Luis Castillo and Miller for Monday's contest. Castillo was excellent in tossing four scoreless innings, but Miller ended up throwing more pitches (83 to 68) and benefitted by being the pitcher of record despite entering with a hearty 7-0 lead. Miller is still somewhat working his way back after missing the early part of the season due to an oblique injury, but he's completed at least five innings and thrown at least 72 pitches in each of his three outings. It remains to be seen if the pairing of Miller and Castillo will continue moving forward, but Miller has thrived regardless of his role this season, posting a 2.25 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 14:2 K:BB through 16 innings.

Stowers went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 8-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Stowers piled up doubles Monday, driving in a run with one in the sixth inning and another in the eighth frame. The 28-year-old has shown some extra-base pop of late, tallying five extra-base hits across his past six contests. The overall numbers for Stowers remain underwhelming, however, as he's hitting .216 with a .658 OPS, three homers, 10 RBI, 16 runs and a stolen base through 32 games after beginning the season on the injured list due to a right hamstring strain.
