Rotoworld Player News

Ryan Waldschmidt

AZ Left Fielder #73

Diamondbacks OF prospect Ryan Waldschmidt went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI on Sunday for Triple-A Reno.

Waldschmidt now has three home runs on the year while hitting .317/.416/.529 with 19 RBI and four steals. Lourdes Gurriel’s return has clogged his path to MLB at-bats a little bit, but if he keeps hitting like this into May, the Diamondbacks may need to think about a call-up.
Ildemaro Vargas

AZ 2nd Baseman #6

Ildemaro Vargas finished a single shy of the cycle and drove in four as the Diamondbacks downed the Padres 12-7 in Mexico City on Sunday.

Vargas’s deal with the devil got a special boost today in the home ballpark of Diablos Rojos del Mexico. His homer off Michael King left the bat at just 90.9 mph, and his other extra-base hits were grounders. He’s now hitting .367/.383/.722 in 82 plate appearances, and he’s matched his career high with six homers. In the first month of his 10th big-league season, he’s raised his career OPS from .647 to .674.
Ryne Nelson

AZ Starting Pitcher #19

Ryne Nelson surrendered six runs in five innings Sunday in a no-decision against the Padres.

Nelson averaged 97.1 mph with his fastball today, up 1.2 mph from his season average, but in the thin air of Mexico City, he gave up two homers with a total of three men on base. This leaves him with a 7.71 ERA after six starts, which could put his rotation spot in jeopardy. Still, ERA estimators think he’s been unlucky, and it’s hard to see Brandon Pfaadt as a better bet. He should face the Cubs next weekend.
Tim Tawa

AZ 2nd Baseman #13

Tim Tawa hit a grand slam Sunday against the Padres for his first homer of 2026.

Tawa’s line-drive homer to left in Mexico City probably would have been a double in most ballparks, but even that would have done just fine for Arizona. Tawa is 6-for-41 while typically starting against lefties. He figures to see more time in Triple-A once the Diamondbacks start getting healthier.
Adrian Del Castillo

AZ Catcher #25

Adrian Del Castillo left Sunday’s game against the Padres with a dislocated left finger.

Del Castillo suffered the injury while behind the plate. The 26-year-old was unable to continue and James McCann took over. Del Castillo may need a trip to the injured list, but his status should be updated in the coming days.
Jesus Valdez

AZ 3rd Baseman

Diamondbacks selected the contract of INF Jesus Valdez and optioned him to Double-A Amarillo.

Valdez needed to have a spot on the team’s 40-man roster to join the Diamondbacks as the 27th man for Sunday’s doubleheader against the Rockies. He’ll add infield depth for the twin bill with Geraldo Perdomo (ankle) shelved.
Geraldo Perdomo

AZ Shortstop #2

Geraldo Perdomo (ankle) is not in the Diamondbacks’ lineup for Sunday’s matchup against the Padres in Mexico City.

The Diamondbacks still believe that Perdomo won’t require an extended absence from the left ankle sprain that he sustained during Saturday’s game, but they’ll hold him out on Sunday as a precautionary measure. Jose Fernandez will make his first career start at shortstop in his place and will bat sixth against Padres’ right-hander Michael King.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr.

AZ Left Fielder #12

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. went hitless on Saturday and is 1-for-20 since coming off the injured list a week ago.

It’s pretty incredible how quickly Gurriel made it back from his torn ACL to try to help a needy Diamondbacks club, but it sure seems like he should have played in more than two official minor league games before being activated. At this point, the team will just have to wait for him to find his swing.
Geraldo Perdomo

AZ Shortstop #2

The Diamondbacks are calling Geraldo Perdomo day-to-day with a sprained left ankle.

Perdomo was hurt while trying to field a grounder in the Mexico City game Saturday. He’ll probably get at least Sunday off, putting Ildemaro Vargas at shortstop.
Geraldo Perdomo

AZ Shortstop #2

Geraldo Perdomo left Saturday’s game in the seventh inning with an apparent left ankle injury.

Perdomo was hurt while awkwardly fielding a grounder, which ended up being an error. He was able to walk off the field without too much of a limp, so hopefully this is just a day-to-day matter. Tim Tawa replaced him, with Ildemaro Vargas moving from first to short.
