In his first game back at Chase Field, former Diamondbacks lefty Robbie Ray tossed a complete game with seven strikeouts. We discuss Ray's spectacular outing and his evolution as a starter since he left Arizona. We also discuss our takeaways from the Giants' series, from Torey Lovullo's decision to use Jake Woodford on Wednesday to Josh Naylor getting back in the lineup to Tim Tawa struggling with the bat. On the positive side of things, Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll appears to be on a fast track to return from his wrist fracture. Could we see him this weekend against the Kansas City Royals?

We also talk about Zac Gallen, who looked like his old self on Tuesday night in a dominant outing against the San Francisco Giants. Do he and new battery-mate James McCann have something special going? Finally, we answer an array of mailbag questions, from dream and realistic trade targets at the deadline, to what the Diamondbacks' roster would look like if they were to aggressively sell, to whether manager Torey Lovullo will stick around for the duration of his contract.

The Diamondbacks reached a new low on Sunday as they got swept by the Miami Marlins and fell to five games behind in the National League wild card picture. Is it safe to say that Mike Hazen and company will sell given how the team has been playing lately? We also offer our takeaways from the Marlins series, including our thoughts on Brandon Pfaadt, Eduardo Rodriguez, Jake McCarthy and Jalen Beeks. What is fueling E-Rod's resurgence since coming off the injured list? Did manager Torey Lovullo mismanage the bullpen in the series finale?

The Diamondbacks appeared to be on track for another epic comeback on Friday night against the Miami Marlins, but this time they fell short. Merrill Kelly's outing started well but he limped to the finish line. Defensive miscues by Josh Naylor and Kelly himself cost the D-backs a pair of runs. The bullpen was subpar, allowing four runs after Kelly's departure. Should Torey Lovullo have gone to a different reliever than Tayler Scott with the game close? Is Josh Naylor going to be okay after exiting the game early? Plus, we dive in to some other D-backs injury updates, including Corbin Carroll and Justin Martinez, and have a larger conversation about whether the D-backs' medical staff is not doing its job properly. Finally, we discuss a pair of starting pitchers — Mitch Keller and Edward Cabrera — who could be targets for the D-backs at the trade deadline, and also Ketel Marte advancing to Phase 2 in All-Star Game voting while Corbin Carroll and Eugenio Suárez sit out.

The Diamondbacks were unable to complete a sweep of the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday as Zac Gallen turned in another clunker against a subpar team. What has been ailing Gallen lately? Would the D-backs be able to get anything in return for him at the trade deadline? Would it still be wise to give him the qualifying offer this offseason if he were to finish the season with the team? We also discuss the Chicago White Sox' gracious response to Ketel Marte's situation, putting a post out on social media and displaying a message on the big board at Rate Field. To make a donation to the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation in honor of Ketel's late mother Elpidia Valdez, visit https://dbacks.givingfuel.com/arizona-diamondbacks-foundation. Finally, we took a look at Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen's latest comments about the trade deadline in a story at ESPN. Is Hazen still likely to buy at the deadline?

The Diamondbacks beat the White Sox for the second straight night, but their injury pile-up continued as they lost Ildemargo Vargas to a fractured foot. We discuss Ketel Marte staying hot offensively, Ryne Nelson continuing to deliver in the rotation and Alek Thomas coming through with a big hit against a left-handed reliever to put the D-backs out in front. We also discuss the onslaught of injuries, with Corbin Carroll officially landing on the injured list and Eugenio Suárez and Josh Naylor's situations both up in the air after they left Monday's game. How much time will Carroll miss? What's the outlook for Suárez and Naylor? What should we expect from Jake McCarthy in his return to the majors? And who will replace Vargas assuming he goes on the injured list? Finally, we discuss the Diamondbacks promoting Ryan Waldschmidt, one of their top prospects, to Double-A. Could we see Waldschmidt in the majors soon? Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory!

The Diamondbacks' injury woes continued over the weekend as Gabriel Moreno was diagnosed with a hairline fracture in his right index finger and Corbin Carroll is headed for an MRI of his own. Plus, we learned more about Tommy Henry, A.J. Puk and Justin Martinez, all of whom had or about to have season-ending elbow surgery. As for the games on the field, the Diamondbacks won their series against the Rockies, but the offense sputtered in the finale as Brandon Pfaadt allowed another big home run. Was the series a success or should fans expect more? Regardless, Eugenio Suarez hit home run no. 300 and is raking — and should probably be an All-Star. We also discussed HB 2704, which was passed by the state senate on Thursday night, an integral step as the Diamondbacks look to secure their long-term home at Chase Field. What is coming next? Finally, we discussed the Diamondbacks signing catcher James McCann, previewed the upcoming series against the Chicago White Sox and checked in on how former D-backs starter Slade Cecconi is faring with the Cleveland Guardians.

The Diamondbacks lost their third game in a row, and once again, the bullpen played a central role in the loss. Is it possible that the D-backs could jump the trade market and strike an early deal for a backend reliever? We dive in to general manager Mike Hazen's comments on that topic on Wolf and Luke earlier on Wednesday. Also, we discuss the D-backs' recent offense struggles, the latest on Corbin Carroll after he took a pitch to the hand on Wednesday and whether Adrian Del Castillo could be called up soon to replace an injured Gabriel Moreno.

Paul Skenes did Paul Skenes things and the Diamondbacks lost their series finale to the Pittsburgh Pirates in blowout fashion, sealing their third straight series loss.
