Arizona Diamondbacks
The Arizona Diamondbacks were active at the trade deadline, sending 1B Josh Naylor, 3B Eugenio Suarez, and SP Merrill Kelly to other teams. With a nine-game deficit behind the bottom wild card in the National League, the Diamondbacks are likely to miss the playoffs for the second consecutive year. The team has struggled in recent games, with a poor offensive performance and an ineffective bullpen. Pitcher Zac Gallen is set to start against the Athletics, despite having a challenging season. In past matchups, Gallen has had success against the Athletics and will look to continue that trend in the upcoming game.
