Martin went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's 8-6 win over the Red Sox.

Martin came up clutch with what proved to be the game-winning two-run blast in the top of the seventh inning. It was a much-needed swing for the 27-year-old, who entered the contest in an 0-for-14 slump over his past five contests. For the year, he's slashing a solid .297/.413/.398 with two homers, 13 RBI, 17 runs scored and seven steals across 155 plate appearances.

Gurriel was removed from Friday's game against the Rockies with left hamstring tightness.

Gurriel was taken out of the game after making a sliding catch in left field. It's not immediately clear how serious his injury is, but the Diamondbacks may provide more details in the near future. Jorge Barrosa entered the game as Gurriel's replacement and would be the favorite to work as Arizona's left fielder in any future games the latter has to miss.

Buxton went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 8-6 win over the Red Sox.

Buxton delivered an RBI single in the second inning before launching a two-run blast in the seventh. Despite missing five straight games recently with a sore hip flexor, the 32-year-old has now tallied eight homers and 15 RBI through 14 May contests. For the year, he's slashing .264/.322/.588 with 16 long balls, 26 RBI, 35 runs scored and four steals across 199 plate appearances.

Moran will serve as the Red Sox's opening pitcher Saturday against the Twins, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

The Red Sox have taken a liking to using Moran as an opener in front of Brayan Bello this month, and the two will work in tandem again Saturday. Moran has been one of Boston's most effective bullpen arms this season, posting a 2.81 ERA and 1.13 WHIP through 25.2 innings. He'll likely remain on the mound for an inning or two before Bello takes over.

Tolle did not factor into the decision in Friday's 8-6 loss to the Twins, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks with nine strikeouts over six innings.

Tolle labored through a three-run second inning but was otherwise dominant, generating 15 whiffs on 85 pitches while limiting the Twins to just one extra-base hit. Through six major-league outings this season, the 23-year-old has delivered four quality starts while holding opponents to three earned runs or fewer each time out. He'll take a strong 2.45 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 39:9 K:BB across 36.2 innings into a tough test at home against Atlanta next week.

Prielipp did not factor into the decision in Friday's 8-6 win over the Red Sox, allowing six runs (five earned) on seven hits and three walks with one strikeout over four innings.

Prielipp yielded four runs in the first frame and struggled with his command overall, throwing just 49 of 85 pitches for strikes with only seven whiffs. It was the first major hiccup of the season for the rookie, who entered Friday having allowed two earned runs or fewer in each of his first five major-league outings. He now owns a 4.03 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 30:12 K:BB across 29 innings and will aim to bounce back in a road matchup against the White Sox next week.

Banda earned the save in Friday's 8-6 win over the Red Sox, striking out one over 1.1 perfect innings.

Banda entered a 7-6 game with two men on and two outs in the eighth inning, and he was able to put out the fire before retiring the side in the ninth. It marked the southpaw's first save chance of the season, and he now owns a 6.23 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB across 21.2 innings. The Twins have had 10 pitchers record a save in 2026, so this is a closer situation to be avoided until there appears to be a change in philosophy.

X-rays on Muncy's right wrist came back negative after Friday's game against the Brewers, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

Muncy was pulled from Friday's contest in the eighth inning after taking a pitch off his wrist. Although he avoided a fracture, manager Dave Roberts said the 35-year-old slugger is dealing with some swelling and will likely have to sit out the Dodgers' next few games. Santiago Espinal is likely to start at third base while Muncy is down, though Miguel Rojas could also be in the mix for playing time.

Clement went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, one run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 6-2 win over the Pirates.

Clement contributed throughout the game, stealing a base in the second inning and drawing a walk in the sixth before adding a double and scoring in the eighth. The 30-year-old is in the midst of a modest five-game hitting streak that includes five extra-base hits, four RBI and four runs scored. For the year, he's slashing .297/.323/.432 with three homers, 16 RBI, 20 runs scored and two stolen bases across 201 plate appearances.

Chandler (1-6) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Friday, allowing three runs (one earned) on two hits and three walks with 11 strikeouts over five innings.

Chandler allowed three runs in a third inning that included the leadoff runner reaching via catcher's interference and an error. While it marked his fifth loss over his past six outings, the 23-year-old flashed his upside by generating a whopping 22 swinging strikes on 99 pitches and notching a career-high 11 punchouts. He owns a 4.79 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 47:34 K:BB across 47 innings and lines up for a home matchup against the Cubs next week.
