Ross was the player to be named later in the deal. The 23-year-old right-hander had a 4.60 ERA and 106/40 K/BB ratio in 131 innings this season in 21 starts and four relief appearances with Class A Rome. Baseball America didn’t include him among the Braves’ top 30 prospects coming into the season.

Fernandez smacked a one-out double off of Nolan McLean in the second inning, but never advanced past second base. He then helped to spur a four-run rally in the seventh with a one-out single that chased McLean before scoring on an RBI ground out off the bat of Alek Thomas. He also drove in a run with a ground ball in the eighth inning. The 22-year-old infielder has impressed in his brief stay with the Diamondbacks, hitting .333 (8-for-24) with a pair of home runs, five RBI and a stolen base.

Barrosa capped off a four-run uprising in the seventh inning with an RBI triple off of Luke Weaver that plated Alek Thomas. The 25-year-old outfielder has struggled in his limited action at the plate this season, hitting just .217/.250/.478 with zero homers, three RBI and a 7/1 K/BB ratio in his first 25 plate appearances.

Moreno entered the game as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and got the Diamondbacks on the board with an RBI double off of Nolan McLean. He then added an insurance run with an RBI double off of Luis Garcia the following inning, increasing the Diamondbacks’ edge to 7-1. For the season, the 26-year-old backstop is hitting a solid .282/.341/.410 with five RBI, though he’s still looking for his first home run.

Rodriguez struck out three batters on the night while issuing two free passes. The lone tally against him came on a solo blast off the bat of Luis Robert Jr. in the second inning. The 33-year-old left-hander got 10 swings and misses on 102 pitches on the night, registering a CSW of 23 percent. He’ll carry a pristine 0.50 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and an 11/5 K/BB ratio (18 innings) into Tuesday’s showdown against the Orioles in Baltimore. He should at least be rostered in all mixed leagues at this point.

The dynamic 28-year-old outfielder tagged Diamondbacks’ southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez for a 412-foot (109.8 mph EV) solo shot in the second inning that gave the Mets an early 1-0 lead. That would be the extent of their offense in the ballgame though. Robert also drew a walk in the contest, finishing the night 1-for-3. He’s off to a nice start for his new club, slashing .333/.480/.487 with a pair of homers, seven RBI and two stolen bases.

The 24-year-old right-hander racked up eight strikeouts on the night while walking a pair. He kept the Diamondbacks off the board for the first six innings, but he returned for the seventh and allowed a leadoff walk and a one-out single before turning the ball over to the bullpen. Luke Weaver came on and allowed both inherited runners — and a couple more runs — to score, which left McLean on the hook for a tough-luck loss. He got just six swings and misses on 100 pitches on the evening, posting a CSW of 32 percent. Now 1-1 on the season, he’ll carry a 2.70 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and a 20/6 K/BB ratio into Tuesday’s tough matchup against the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

It appears to be nothing more than a routine night off for the 24-year-old shortstop. Utilityman extraordinaire Willi Castro will cover the position in his stead and bat sixth for the Rockies against Randy Vasquez and the Padres.

Cederlind, 30, hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since making five appearances for the Pirates during the 2020 campaign and hasn’t pitched professionally since 2023. It’ll be interesting to see what he has left in the tank, making him an interesting no-risk gamble as depth for the Diamondbacks.

He’ll get the first crack at filling the vacancy in the A’s rotation with Luis Morales optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas earlier in the week. The 26-year-old hurler posted a 5.14 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and a 4/2 K/BB ratio over seven innings out of the A’s bullpen so far this season. Even though the start is away from Sutter Health Park, Ginn is not a recommended streaming option for fantasy purposes.

The dynamic 25-year-old outfielder felt a bit of soreness after his triple on Wednesday but was able to finish the game. The Diamondbacks don’t appear to be overly concerned, and it sounds like the plan is for Carroll to return to the lineup on Friday. Fantasy managers should be sure to check Friday’s lineup just to make sure though before setting lineups for the weekend.
