Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said after Saturday's 9-2 win over the Dodgers that Troy is day-to-day and won't require imaging on his bruised right shoulder, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Troy exited in the fifth inning after crashing into the center-field wall following a catch. The rookie said he felt a "sharp pain" in his right shoulder and indicated that he will see how he feels Sunday before the Diamondbacks decide on his availability for the series finale with the Dodgers. Ryan Waldschmidt (hand) is slated to start in center field in Sunday's contest, so Troy probably won't be included in the lineup even if he's feeling capable of playing.

Waldschmidt (hand) is slated to start in center field Sunday against the Dodgers, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Waldschmidt was removed from Friday's matchup after being hit on his right hand by a pitch, but it appears he's dodged a serious injury. Tommy Troy started in center field Saturday but exited early with a shoulder issue, so Waldschmidt's quick return will be a boost to the Diamondbacks' lineup. Waldschmidt is slashing .254/.309/.351 with no homers, nine doubles, a triple, 11 runs, eight RBI and five stolen bases through 34 contests so far in his rookie campaign.

Valdez went 4-for-8 with three home runs and eight RBI Saturday as the Pirates swept a doubleheader against the Brewers.

The rookie outfielder went yard twice in the matinee and produced the game-winning runs in the seventh inning with a grand slam off Aaron Ashby, then got the Bucs on the board in the fourth inning of the nightcap with a two-run shot off Shane Drohan. Valdez has now homered in three straight contests and is up to 10 long balls in his first 26 big-league games with 26 RBI and a dazzling .311/.370/.722 slash line.

The Diamondbacks announced that Troy was removed from Saturday's game against the Dodgers due to a right shoulder contusion.

Troy was lifted in the fifth inning after crashing into the center-field wall while completing a catch. The Diamondbacks haven't provided word on the severity of Troy's injury, so he can be viewed as day-to-day heading into Sunday's series finale. Troy went 0-for-1 with a walk before exiting the contest.

Chourio went 1-for-5 with a run scored and two stolen bases Saturday in the Brewers' 3-2 loss to the Pirates in the second game of a doubleheader.

After appearing as a pinch hitter in the Brewers' 7-6 loss in the first game of the day, Chourio was back in the lineup for Game 2. He singled in the first inning and promptly swiped second and third, but the star outfielder didn't come around to score after reaching on a fielder's choice in the fifth. Chourio snapped a 13-game streak without even attempting a steal, and through 61 contests on the season he's produced a .281/.335/.496 slash line with 13 home runs, eight stolen bases, 36 RBI and 42 runs.

Troy was removed in the fifth inning of Saturday's game against the Dodgers after running into the center field wall and appearing to hurt his right shoulder, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Troy made a nice catch on a flyball hit by Teoscar Hernandez but subsequently rammed his shoulder into the outfield wall. The rookie appeared to be in some pain, and he was ultimately replaced in the outfield by Jorge Barrosa. An update on Troy will presumably be shared after he's examined by the Diamondbacks' training staff.

Dubon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-1 loss to St. Louis.

Dubon got Atlanta on the board with a seventh-inning homer, but that was the team's lone run of the game. That long ball was his 10th of the campaign, which matches his career high from 2023 with the Astros. He has continued to hit well in July, going 12-for-42 (.286) with two homers and eight RBI over 11 contests this month. For the season, the utility man is batting .269 with a .749 OPS over 90 games.

Nootbaar went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in Saturday's 4-1 win over Atlanta.

Nootbaar's first-inning blast gave the Cardinals all the offense they needed in this contest. The outfielder had gone a month between homers, batting .269 with a .687 OPS during his 24-game power drought. For the season, Nootbaar is hitting .265 with a .781 OPS, three homers, 12 RBI, 15 runs scored, one steal, six doubles and one triple over 31 contests. He is filling a strong-side platoon role in left field.

Hill went 1-for-3 with an RBI single, three steals and a run scored during the Phillies' 4-2 win over the Tigers on Saturday.

Hill set a career high in steals Saturday, with two of his three swipes coming in the top of the third inning. However, his best play of the game came in the bottom of the same frame, when he made a sensational diving catch in center field to rob Zach McKinstry of an extra-base hit. Hill has a .772 OPS with 10 steals, seven home runs and 16 RBI across 141 plate appearances this season.

Gurriel isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

Gurriel went 0-for-5 to break what had been a four-game hitting streak Friday, and he'll now retreat to the dugout to begin Saturday's game. Gabriel Moreno will serve as the DH while Gurriel is on the bench, giving James McCann a start at catcher.
