ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS NEWS

Ryne Nelson - Needed for bulk relief Nelson walked two and struck out three over four hitless and scoreless innings in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Mets.

Impact Starter Eduardo Rodriguez was chased after giving up eight runs over four innings. Enter Nelson, who threw his most innings (68 pitches) of the season. He's made seven appearances, six in which the right-hander was asked to go longer than three outs. Nelson was ambushed twice in couple of his outings, leaving him with a 5.82 ERA, but has a tidy 20:4 K:BB through 17 innings.

Jorge Barrosa - Knocks in two Barrosa started in center field and went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Mets.

Impact Barrosa took over center field for Alek Thomas, who is habitually out of lineups against left-handers and was held out Tuesday against New York's David Peterson. The switch-hitting Barrosa doubled in the Diamondbacks' first run then produced the team's final run on a groundout. He operates much like Jake McCarthy did before he demoted to Triple-A Reno. Barrosa will start in center field against lefties and occasionally step in for Lourdes Gurriel.

Pavin Smith - Starts against southpaw Smith started at first base and went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Mets.

Impact The lefty-hitting Smith got a rare start against a left-hander, stepping in for Josh Naylor (another lefty), who received his first day off of the season. Smith was 1-for-2 against starter David Peterson then walked and singled against right-handed relievers. A .226 career hitter against southpaws, Smith has just seven plate appearances against them this season, going 1-for-5 with two walks.

A.J. Puk - Avoids surgery Puk will not undergo surgery to repair his left elbow, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Although Puk won't be going under the knife, he's still expected to miss quite a bit of time. The plan is for him to pause all throwing for the next 2-to-3 weeks, at which point the D-backs will re-evaluate him and determine next steps. Justin Martinez will act as Arizona's primary closer while Puk is out.

Kevin Ginkel - Reinstated from injured list The Diamondbacks activated Ginkel (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Ginkel has been sidelined for the first month of the season due to shoulder inflammation, but he's ready to rejoin the Diamondbacks after a two-outing rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno. The right-hander recorded five saves and 18 holds with a 3.21 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 77:15 K:BB across 70 innings last season and should fill a high-leverage role again in 2025. Justin Martinez and Shelby Miller are likely to remain the favorite for saves initially, but Ginkel could see some chances with A.J. Puk (elbow) on the injured list.

Drey Jameson - Demoted to Triple-A Jameson was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Monday, Aaron Hughes of SI.com reports.

Impact Jameson appeared in three games during his stint with the big-league club, one of which resulted in his first save April 20 against the Cubs. This move will presumably clear a roster spot for the return of Kevin Ginkel (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list, though the club has yet to officially announce a corresponding move.
