Diamondbacks' Chris Ellis: Back in affilated ball
Ellis signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Thursday.
Ellis sat out the 2023 season with a shoulder injury and was set to pitch independent ball to begin 2024. He'll presumably report to Triple-A Reno and will serve as non-roster depth for the time being.

Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas: Hitting, running to follow
Thomas (hamstring) has taken batting practice is now advancing to running the bases, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
Thomas was set commence the baserunning portion of his recovery Wednesday. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said he's not yet at full speed but is progressing well in his recovery. The Diamondbacks do not yet have a target date for the outfielder to begin a rehab assignment.

Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Collects two hits in loss
McCarthy started in left field and went 2-for-4 in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to St. Louis.
McCarthy slotted in for Lourdes Gurriel, who was rested for an afternoon tilt following a night game. McCarthy has been on a roll, hitting safely in seven of eight contests at 9-for-24 (.375) with three walks, two steals, three RBI and five runs. He'll continue to make three or four starts per week until Alek Thomas (hamstring) is ready to return. The injured outfielder has begun taking batting practice and is ready to run the bases, per Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic.

Diamondbacks' Blaze Alexander: Logs hit in return
Alexander started at shortstop and went 1-for-4 in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Cardinals.
Alexander returned to the lineup after missing two games due to a hamstring. He was moved up to second in the order, as a couple of Arizona regulars were getting a breather. Alexander also committed his fourth throwing error of the season (minus-7 outs above average), although the fielding issues haven't affected his playing time or offense. Alexander is hitting .316/.371/.915 with four doubles, three home runs and 15 RBI over 62 plate appearances.

Diamondbacks' Jordan Montgomery: Hit with tough loss
Montgomery (1-1) took the loss against the Cardinals on Wednesday, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits while walking one and striking out four over seven innings.
Montgomery kept the Cardinals' lineup at bay for most of the contest despite allowing the leadoff man to reach base in three of his first four innings of work. St. Louis would finally get to him in the sixth, however, after the lefty allowed back-to-back hits with one out, followed by an unearned run on a wild pitch. Montgomery actually pitched well on the afternoon despite being tagged with the loss, throwing 20 of his first 28 pitches for strikes while going at least six innings for the second consecutive start to begin his 2024 campaign. He also carries a solid 7:1 K:BB through two starts.

Diamondbacks' Paul Sewald: Activation coming soon
Manager Torey Lovullo said Wednesday that Sewald (oblique) is meeting with the Diamondbacks medical team to determine whether he needs another rehab appearance or if he's ready to return from the 15-day injured list, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Sewald allowed one unearned run on two hits and a walk with two strikeouts in his first rehab outing at Triple-A Reno on Tuesday. That outing might be the only rehab appearance that Sewald needs, as Lovullo noted that the right-hander is "getting extremely close" to a return to the Arizona bullpen. Sewald has been out all season with a strained left oblique, but he should take over as the team's closer once he's activated.

Diamondbacks' Ryne Nelson: Slated for bullpen session
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Nelson (elbow) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Nelson went on the 15-day injured list last week after being struck on the pitching elbow by a comebacker. He appears to be making a quick recovery, and he could have a shot to return when first eligible for activation May 4 or shortly thereafter.

Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Riding pine Wednesday
Gurriel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
Gurriel will join fellow lineup regulars Ketel Marte and Gabriel Moreno on the bench for the series finale while Arizona looks to rest some key players for the day game after a night game. Jake McCarthy will fill in in left field for Gurriel, who went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and three runs in Tuesday's 14-1 win.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Gets Wednesday off
Marte is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
Marte will take a seat for the first time since April 9, ending a streak of 13 consecutive starts during which he slashed a blistering .364/.413/.564 with two home runs, seven RBI and 12 runs. Kevin Newman will replace Marte at second base in the series finale in St. Louis.

Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Resting Wednesday
Moreno is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
Moreno will get a breather for the day game after he went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored while serving as Arizona's starting catcher in a 14-1 win over St. Louis on Tuesday night. Tucker Barnhart will check in behind the dish for Wednesday's series finale.

Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Hitting seventh in return to lineup
Carroll will start in center field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game in St. Louis.
The struggling Carroll received a day off in Tuesday's 14-1 win over the Cardinals while St. Louis started lefty Steven Matz, but the star outfielder will check back into the starting nine in the bottom third of the order Wednesday versus right-hander Kyle Gibson. It's the first time this season that the 23-year-old hasn't hit first or second for Arizona. Carroll takes season-long .215/.324/.269 slash line into play Wednesday.

Diamondbacks' Blaze Alexander: Returns to lineup as No. 2 hitter
Alexander (hamstring) will start at shortstop and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
Alexander didn't play in either of Arizona's last two contests after leaving Sunday's 5-3 win over the Giants with right hamstring cramping, but he'll be back in action for the series finale in St. Louis. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo will tinker with his lineup and move Alexander up to the two hole after the rookie had batted no higher than sixth in any of his previous 13 starts.

Diamondbacks' Merrill Kelly: Likely to miss at least one month
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said after Tuesday's 14-1 win over the Cardinals that he expects Kelly (shoulder) to miss at least one month after landing on the 15-day injured list, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports. "We're not looking in terms of weeks as what we had hoped for," Lovullo said of Kelly's timetable for a return from a teres major strain in his right shoulder. "So I think the next step up is a month, more than that."
Kelly had rolled to a 2-0 record, 2.19 ERA and 0.93 WHIP over 24.2 innings through his first four starts of the season before he was scratched ahead of his most recent turn in the rotation this past Sunday against the Giants upon experiencing shoulder discomfort during a throwing session. He was sent in for two MRIs in recent days, and although both confirmed that Kelly had sustained a teres major strain, Lovullo noted that the Diamondbacks don't yet know if the strain is of the Grade 1, 2 or 3 variety. Lovullo added that Kelly will receive "a couple other opinions" on his injury before a firmer timeline and a treatment method is established, but the skipper said that the right-hander won't need surgery even while the "concern [level] is yet to be determined." In any case, Kelly's fantasy managers can probably feel comfortable ruling him out for all of May, and it could be difficult to justify stashing the 35-year-old if his timeline for a return ultimately gets pushed back further.

Diamondbacks' Kevin Newman: Swats first home run
Newman went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 14-1 win over the Cardinals.
Newman launched his first home run of the season as part of Arizona's six-run fifth inning. He made a second consecutive start at shortstop while Blaze Alexander tended to a hamstring injury that the Diamondbacks do not consider serious. Newman is batting .189 over 12 games.

Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: Initiates home run party
Walker went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 14-1 win over St. Louis.
Walker kicked off the Diamondbacks' fun with a three-run blast in the third inning. It was the first of three Arizona homers, as later Kevin Newman (two-run shot) and Pavin Smith (grand slam) added to the rout. For Walker, it was his first home run since April 2, snapping an 18-game drought. With four homers in 25 games to start the 2024 season, Walker is behind the pace established the last two seasons when the first baseman launched 36 (2022) and 33 homers (2023); however, he had just four April home runs in each of those two previous seasons. It seems Walker's more productive months are ahead of him.

Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Scores thrice
Gurriel went 3-for-5 with an RBI single and three runs during Tuesday's 14-1 win over the Cardinals.
Gurriel took part in the Diamondbacks' offensive bonanza Tuesday, collecting his third three-hit game of 2024 and scoring each time he reached base. The contest continued Gurriel's hot streak at the plate, one that's seen him go 10-for-24 (.416) with four runs scored and two RBI over his last five games.

Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Hits grand slam in six-RBI day
Smith went 2-for-5 with a grand slam, a double, two additional RBI and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 14-1 win over St. Louis.
After opening the season in Triple-A, Smith failed to log a hit in his first three games with the D-Backs. He made up for the slow start Tuesday, tagging reliever Zack Thompson for a two-run double in the fifth and a grand slam in the sixth. Smith's six runs batted in marked a career high, topping his previous best of four RBI.
