Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 3-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Ramirez's first-inning single snapped an 0-for-11 funk over the previous three games, the second-longest slump of the season for the third baseman. The steal was his 36th of the season.

Kwan went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 3-1 win over Arizona.

Kwan extended a hit streak to six games, during which he's gone 9-for-24 (.375) with two extra-base hits, three steals and five runs scored. Prior to his recent uprising, Kwan went 6-for-40 (.150) over nine games. He's up to 14 stolen bases through 118 contests.

Marte went 1-for-5 with a double in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Guardians.

Rather than as a result of his performance, Marte drew more attention Monday when he spoke to the media prior to the contest and addressed a recent article in The Arizona Republic that suggested teammates and others in the organization have been irked about the second baseman's propensity to take days off. Per Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, Marte said through an interpreter that his absences from the lineup have been largely "integrated with the coaching staff and myself, in order to keep me on the field the longest." Marte has received some occasional days off since returning to action in early May after a stint on the injured list due to a hamstring strain, and he also missed the Diamondbacks' first three games of the second half after his home was burglarized during the All-Star Game. Any controversy pertaining to Marte's tendency to take days off hasn't affected his performance; he's slashing .309/.396/.515 with four home runs, eight doubles, one steal, 16 RBI and 17 runs scored over 25 games in the second half.

Smith started at first base and went 0-for-2 before being lifted for a pinch hitter in Monday's 3-1 loss to Cleveland.

Smith was activated off the injured list Monday and was in the lineup against a right-hander. He was eventually pinch hit for against a lefty reliever by the right-handed batting Tyler Locklear, who had served as the primary first baseman since the Diamondbacks traded Josh Naylor. The two could operate as a platoon at the cold corner while Arizona is nominally a competitor for the postseason. At some point, the organization may want to see if the 24-year-old Locklear is a long-term solution.

Moreno (finger) will catch back-to-back games for Triple-A Reno on Tuesday and Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

The two-game set will serve as a final test before Moreno is activated. He's alternated between catcher and DH over his first four rehab appearances but hasn't caught a full nine-inning game. Presumably, in addition to catching back-to-back, the Diamondbacks want to see him on the field for full games in both.

Duran went 1-for-3 with a double and three RBI in Monday's 6-3 loss to Baltimore.

Duran produced a run with a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning and then two more in the ninth with a double. It was the third consecutive game with a two-bagger for Duran, who leads the club with 34 of them. He's up to 69 RBI through 123 games and is poised to top the career-high 75 he posted over 160 games in 2024, when he was the club's primary leadoff hitter.

Lowe entered Monday's game as a pinch hitter, walked and scored a run in a 6-3 loss to the Orioles.

Lowe pinch hit in the bottom of the ninth inning and was not needed for the field. He was officially added to the roster Monday and wasn't in the starting lineup against a left-hander. Lowe could enter the starting nine Tuesday against Baltimore right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano.

Basallo went 2-for-5 with a two-run double and a run scored in Monday's 6-3 victory over Boston.

Basallo has made his presence felt right away at the big-league level, driving in two runs in each of his first two games and notching his first extra-base hit Monday. The top prospect drew the start behind the plate in the contest, and while Adley Rutschman's presence means he won't hold that role on a full-time basis, Basallo should still find regular at-bats at first base or designated hitter when he isn't catching.

Beavers went 2-for-2 with an RBI and two walks in Monday's 6-3 win over the Red Sox.

Beavers reached safely in all of his trips to the plate Monday, highlighted by a scorching RBI single in the fourth inning. The budding prospect has opened his big-league career with a hit in each of his first three games, going 4-for-11 with a double and an RBI.

Henderson went 2-for-4 with a triple, a home run, two RBI and three runs scored in Monday's 6-3 victory over the Red Sox.

Henderson launched a missile off Dustin May in the third inning to open the scoring Monday to snap a seven-game homer-less streak. He then added a scorching triple in the seventh inning to drive in another run. Despite Baltimore's disappointing season, the star shortstop has been great, posting an .824 OPS with 29 doubles, five triples, 15 homers, 57 RBI and 16 steals in 118 games.
