The Diamondbacks placed right-hander Michael Soroka on the 15-day injured list with a strained left glute and outfielder Jordan Lawlar on the 10-day injured list with a strained right hamstring, losing two more players on Saturday, June 20, after having put right-hander Ryne Nelson there one day earlier.
Taking their places on the roster are left-hander Philip Abner and infielder/outfielder Tim Tawa, both of whom were recalled from Triple-A Reno.
Abner gives them another fresh arm in the bullpen. The team still has not announced who will step into Nelson’s rotation spot on Sunday.
Soroka and Lawlar were hurt during the Diamondbacks’ 9-5 win over the Minnesota Twins on Friday night at Chase Field.
Soroka exited his start after just one inning. He was scheduled to undergo an MRI on Saturday.
Lawlar left the game after legging out a bunt single in the eighth inning.
Diamondbacks RHP Zac Gallen (3-5, 5.35) vs. Twins RHP Taj Bradley (5-3, 4.14).
At Chase Field: Gallen turned in a quality start last weekend against the Reds, giving up three runs in six innings. It was his first quality start since May 18. … Gallen’s fastball usage continued to trend downward as he leaned a little more on three of his secondary pitches: his changeup, slider and curveball. … Gallen has faced the Twins twice in his career, giving up two runs in seven innings each time. He last saw them in 2023. … Bradley joined the Twins last year at the trade deadline, acquired from the Rays in a deal for RHP Griffin Jax. He had a 2.77 ERA through his first nine starts this season, but has struggled since, logging a 7.78 ERA over his past four. … Most recently, he gave up four runs in 6 2/3 innings against the St. Louis Cardinals. … Bradley averages 96.7 mph with his fastball. He also throws a cutter, splitter and curveball.
Sunday, June 21: At Chase Field, 12:15 p.m., Diamondbacks RHP Ryne Nelson (3-5, 4.97) vs. Twins TBA.
Monday, June 22: At St. Louis, 4:45 p.m., Diamondbacks RHP Merrill Kelly (5-6, 5.81) vs. Cardinals RHP Andre Pallante (8-4, 3.76).
Tuesday, June 23: At St. Louis, 4:45 p.m., Diamondbacks LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (6-2, 2.45) vs. Cardinals RHP Kyle Leahy (5-4, 4.63).
