The Diamondbacks are expected to recall Drake from Triple-A Reno to start Friday’s game against the Giants in San Francisco.

Arizona will add a new starter to the rotation for the second day in a row, as Jose Cabrera was previously summoned from Reno to get the start Thursday. Drake will be up with Arizona for the third time this season, after turning in a 5.40 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB in 16.2 innings across four starts during his prior two stints in the majors.

Cabrera (0-3) allowed two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out four batters over 4.1 innings in a loss to San Francisco on Thursday.

Cabrera was called up from Triple-A Reno earlier in the day and was handed the ball for his fifth big-league start of the season. The right-hander served up a solo homer to the first batter he faced in the game, but he showed poised in settling down thereafter, leaving the game with one out in the fifth inning in a 1-1 tie. A run was charged to Cabrera’s ledger after he departed, and that was enough to send him to the loss. Despite the defeat, Cabrera made a generally good impression, though he was given a relatively quick hook after just 70 pitches. With Michael Soroka (shoulder) on the IL, Cabrera may have pitched well enough to earn another turn in the rotation, and that would line up to come at home against Philadelphia next week.

Arenado is dealing with right thumb inflammation, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Arenado was a late scratch from Thursday’s lineup versus San Francisco, and there was some speculation that it was due to his previous left side injury. The third baseman instead has a new injury altogether, and he can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Gallen (elbow) threw three innings and 45 pitches in a bridge game at the Diamondbacks‘ training facility Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Given the pitch count, Gallen doesn’t appear to be far away from returning from the 60-day injured list. He’ll still need to push his pitch count up over one or two more rehab outings, but the report indicates that Gallen could be a candidate to rejoin the Arizona rotation during its series with the Royals, which runs from Sept. 7 through 9.

Burnes (elbow) threw one inning and 13 pitches in a bridge game at the Diamondbacks‘ training facility Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Burnes followed up with another 11 pitches in the bullpen. The right-hander could graduate to a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno beginning Saturday.

Troy (shoulder) went 2-for-4 with a walk for Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.

Troy kicked off a rehab assignment with the Aces this week. He played seven innings at second base Tuesday followed by nine innings in center field Wednesday. Troy has been sidelined with a sprained right AC joint since July 11 when he crashed into a wall while making a running catch.

Lawlar went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday’s 2-0 win over the Cubs.

The 24-year-old broke a scoreless tie in the sixth inning when he drove a Matthew Boyd changeup the other way for his third long ball of the season. Lawlar left Tuesday’s contest early after being hit in the head by a pitch, but he cleared the concussion protocol and seems none the worse for wear. In eight games since recovering from a hamstring strain and coming off the IL on Aug. 17, Lawlar has gone 6-for-24 (.250) with two homers, four runs and four RBI, but a 0:9 BB:K.
