The D-backs continue to embrace the youth movement. At age 24, 1B/3B LuJames Groover slashed .322/.421/.452 in 256 PA with Triple-A Reno this year.
The power is a work in progress, but Groover's hit tool and plate discipline are among the best in the organization.

We have made the following roster moves:
ALT Roster Moves: INF LuJames Groover: Selected from Triple-A Reno INF Jose Fernandez: Optioned to Triple-A Reno RHP Taylor Rashi: Designated for assignment

Ketel Marte vs. a left-handed reliever. Are we surprised?

D-backs bullpen in May:
74.1 IP, 2.18 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 21.1 K%, 7.7 BB%, .201 BAA, 3.27 FIP.
That 2.18 ERA is the team's second-lowest bullpen ERA in any month in the Mike Hazen era.

Going live now to discuss a tough D-backs loss to the Dodgers.
We'll discuss the Perdomo bunt, struggles w/RISP, Soroka's outing, Carroll destroying lefties and more.

D-backs lose, 6-5. Michael Soroka bounced back nicely from a rough first couple of innings, but missed opportunities abounded for a D-backs offense that went 2-for-12 w/RISP.

D-backs win, 4-1. Eduardo Rodriguez tossed six innings of one-run ball. The D-backs had five hits, three of which were home runs by Tommy Troy, Nolan Arenado and Ketel Marte.

Eduardo Rodriguez averaged 93.6 mph on his four-seam fastball tonight.
That's his highest average fastball velo in any start since Sept. 2, 2021.

For the first time in more than two weeks, the D-backs lost a game that was not decided by one run. They just...got beat.
@shoewizard59 and I will be live in ~3 minutes to discuss a pair of D-backs losses in Seattle: youtube.com/live/FSb0eVPyD5c

Apparently, Tony Vitello did not learn his lesson about using a left-handed reliever against Ketel Marte.
452 feet, 114 mph off the bat.

Ketel Marte since this walk-off home run last week:
17-for-25, 3 HR, 13 RBI, 5 2B, 3 BB.
That works out to a .680/.714/1.240 slash line — and a 1.954 OPS.
