In their place, the club is selecting the contract of Reno right-hander Jeff Brigham and signing infielder Ildemaro Vargas to a major league deal, a few days after he had opted out.

The Diamondbacks are struggling with situational hitting, particularly with runners in scoring position. While the Diamondbacks' bullpen performance has slightly improved, it remains an area of concern with a high ERA.

Pirates at Diamondbacks, 5:10 p.m., Cox, Ch. 34At Chase Field: Nelson gave up just one run on three hits in five innings against the Dodgers last week in his first start in place of LHP Eduardo Rodriguez, who is on the injured list with shoulder inflammation. … It was Nelson’s second start of the year; he also filled in for RHP Corbin Burnes when he had his start skipped earlier in the month. His other nine appearances this season have come in relief.

Ketel Marte told manager Torey Lovullo he needed to come out of the game. Started to feel general body stiffness, didn't want to push it. Both Marte and Lovullo expect him to be back in the lineup on Friday.
Diamondbacks bench coach Jeff Banister was taken to a hospital for “precautionary observation,” manager Torey Lovullo said. Came to the ballpark and was not feeling well, Lovullo said.
