Overview

  • Brandon Nimmo returned to the starting lineup Wednesday after passing outfield and base-running tests on his sprained left ankle.
  • Nathan Eovaldi threw a bullpen Wednesday after a clean MRI on left-side soreness, positioning him for a possible Sunday start.
  • Manager Skip Schumaker said the club kept both players off the injured list as it seeks a lift during a run of games against losing teams.
  • Joc Pederson led off Tuesday and homered in a 7-4 win over Arizona after Nimmo opened the game batting second.
  • Injured regulars remain out, with Wyatt Langford aiming to resume swinging on the upcoming road trip and Chris Martin building back at Triple-A Round Rock.
