Dbacks recap and news

Troy started in left field and went 2-for-4 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday’s 8-1 win over the Angels.

Troy evened the game at 1-1 with a second-inning triple and then singled home a run in the sixth. He’s scuffled following a strong introduction to the majors and entered Wednesday on a 2-for-24 (.083) stretch. Despite that, he held onto a roster spot when Lourdes Gurriel was brought back from the injured list Monday. Instead, the Diamondbacks optioned Ryan Waldschmidt back to Triple-A Reno. Gurriel is expected to get the bulk of the work in left field, and it’s unclear how long Arizona will keep Troy around in a role where the prospect isn’t getting a steady dose of at-bats.

Marte went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday’s 8-1 win over the Angels. He was also hit by a pitch.

Marte’s first-inning single extended a hit streak to seven contests, during which he’s gone 10-for-29 (.345) with three doubles, three RBI and three runs scored. Arizona’s primary leadoff batter leads the club with 43 RBI through 70 games.

Carroll went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Wednesday’s 8-1 win over the Angels.

Carroll launched the fifth grand slam of his career Wednesday. This one came off left-hander Sam Aldegheri and continued Carroll’s dominance against southpaws in 2026. Over 90 at-bats against lefties, the left-handed hitter has a .389/.446/.667 slash line. The All-Star outfielder is already up to six homers during June as well, which is the third-highest mark in the major leagues during the month to this point. Through 350 plate appearances this year, Carroll is slashing .275/.364/.540 with 13 long balls, 38 RBI, nine stolen bases and 45 runs scored.

Rodriguez (6-2) notched the win Wednesday against the Angels, allowing one run on six hits and three walks in seven innings. He struck out five.

After serving up a solo home run to Zach Neto in the opening frame, Rodriguez got himself locked in on the mound en route to tallying the 100th win of his career. The 33-year-old left-hander went on to spin six scoreless innings thereafter, and he’s now fired at least six frames while yielding two runs or fewer four times in his past six starts. Rodriguez, who sports a career-best 2.45 ERA to go with a 1.23 WHIP and 65:35 K:BB over 88.1 innings, will be looking to continue his resurgent campaign in St. Louis his next time out.
