Del Castillo went 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-7 extra-inning win over the Cardinals.

Del Castillo made his first appearance since being recalled Saturday, serving as the designated hitter. An injury to Lourdes Gurriel (thigh) provides an opportunity for the left-handed batting Del Castillo to get platoon work at DH, although he was demoted earlier this month due to a lack of hitting.

Edman went 3-for-6 with a solo homer, three total RBI and four total runs scored and was hit by a pitch across both games of Sunday's doubleheader split with the Yankees.

Edman recorded two hits, including a two-RBI single in Sunday's matinee victory. After starting the nightcap on the bench in favor of Miguel Rojas, Edman entered in the eighth inning and launched a game-tying solo homer before the Yankees answered in the bottom half of the frame. The switch hitter has hit safely in each of his past eight games dating back to before the All-Star break. After not making his season debut until June 17 due to a right ankle injury, the 31-year-old is slashing .355/.430/.526 with eight extra-base hits (two homers), 14 RBI, 15 runs and two stolen bases across 25 contests.

Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

After going 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored in a losing effort during Sunday's matinee, Chisholm blasted a go-ahead solo homer in the eighth inning to lift the Yankees in the nightcap. The second baseman is hitting .239/.280/.435 with two homers, five RBI, seven runs and two stolen bases across 13 games in July. After a standout first full season in pinstripes in 2025, the 28-year-old has taken a step back in 2026, slashing .224/.302/.403 with 14 homers, 38 RBI, 49 runs and 26 stolen bases across 94 contests.

Grisham went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

Grisham crushed a Yoshinobu Yamamoto fastball into the second deck in right field for a solo homer in the fourth inning of Sunday's matinee. The center fielder entered the twin bill having gone 9-for-37 (.243) with five extra-base hits (two homers), five RBI, nine runs and a stolen base in 11 games since returning from the injured list. After going 0-for-5 in the nightcap, Grisham's season line sits at .230/.332/.419 with 11 homers, 41 RBI, 50 runs and seven stolen bases across 79 contests.

Bednar (4-3) earned the win in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Dodgers. He allowed no hits and a walk while striking out two over 1.2 scoreless innings.

The right-hander entered with one out in the eighth inning of a tied game and closed out the frame. After Jazz Chisholm launched a go-ahead solo homer in the bottom half of the inning, Bednar retired the side in the ninth to secure the victory and earn his fourth win. The 31-year-old has been lights-out for an extended stretch, riding a 20-inning scoreless streak dating back to May 22. Overall, Bednar owns a 2.59 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 47:13 K:BB with 18 saves across 41.2 innings in 2026.

Klein did not factor into the decision in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader, allowing one run on three hits and no walks over one inning against the Yankees. He struck out one.

Klein opened a true bullpen game Sunday evening that featured seven Dodgers pitchers, allowing a run on a two-out Cody Bellinger single. The right-hander has now surrendered runs in each of his past three appearances, though all three runs he allowed July 7 against the Rockies were unearned. Overall, Klein owns a 3-4 record with a 2.58 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, 44:16 K:BB and two saves across 38.1 innings this season.

Yarbrough did not factor into the decision in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader, allowing two hits and no walks over 2.2 scoreless innings in a 2-1 win over the Dodgers. He struck out one.

The southpaw started Sunday night's bullpen game and did his job well, holding the Dodgers scoreless before giving way to Paul Blackburn with two outs in the third inning. Yarbrough entered Sunday with a 5.27 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across his previous 10 appearances spanning 13.2 innings. On the year, the 34-year-old owns a 2-0 record with a 3.86 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 28:16 K:BB and two saves across 39.2 innings while operating primarily as a middle reliever.

Kepler went 2-for-5 with an RBI double in Sunday's 8-7 extra-inning win over St. Louis.

Kepler came through in the 10th inning with a game-winning double to the warning track to complete Arizona's comeback from a 7-0 deficit. Sunday's performance marked the outfielder's third multi-hit effort since making his season debut June 26. The results have been lackluster thus far for the 33-year-old, who's slashing .213/.235/.340 with four extra-base hits (one homer), nine RBI and four runs scored across 15 contests.

Arenado went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's extra-inning win over the Cardinals.

Arenado's lone hit was a big one, as his two-run homer in the eighth inning tied the game at 7-7. The 35-year-old has put together a productive July, slashing .250/.321/.563 with four homers, 10 RBI and nine runs scored across 13 contests. Overall, Arenado is hitting .244/.318/.422 with 13 homers, 44 RBI and 46 runs scored across 93 games in his first season with the Diamondbacks.

Perdomo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's extra-inning win over the Cardinals.

Perdomo's lone hit was a memorable one, as his line drive to left field in the seventh inning was misplayed by Jose Fermin and resulted in an inside-the-park homer. It's been a fairly pedestrian July for Perdomo, who's hitting just .204 with two homers, five RBI, 10 runs and three stolen bases across 13 games. The shortstop has taken a step back from his breakout 2025 campaign, slashing .238/.355/.358 with seven homers, 36 RBI, 48 runs and 15 stolen bases across 95 contests in 2026.
