Dbacks and notes

Smith cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Reno on Wednesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Smith was DFA’d by Arizona last week after slashing just .141/.236/.192 with two extra-base hits, six RBI, five runs scored, one stolen base and a 10:18 BB:K across 89 trips to the plate with the Diamondbacks this season. The No. 7 overall pick of the 2017 Draft, Smith is now 30 years old and will try to find his swing again in the minors.

The Diamondbacks placed Troy (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a sprained right AC joint.

The move is retroactive to July 12 after Troy suffered the injury in Arizona’s 9-2 win over the Dodgers the previous day. The rookie outfielder has slashed .223/.299/.364 with four homers, nine RBI, 22 runs scored, one stolen base and a 13:31 BB:K across 134 plate appearances since making his big-league debut May 24.

Burnes (elbow) began a throwing program July 10 and felt good following the session, MLB.com reports.

Burnes had been working his way back from Tommy John surgery during April and May but was forced to shut down in early June. The plan calls for him to throw off flat ground every other day and then progress to throwing off a mound. The Diamondbacks hope the right-hander can return in time for a September playoff push.

Lawlar (hamstring) has begun hitting in the cage and executing running mechanics, MLB.com reports.

There’s been little information about Lawlar’s recovery since he landed on the injured list June 20. The return to baseball activities is encouraging, and the 23-year-old is expected to undergo a follow-up MRI on Friday. Injuries keep piling up for Lawlar, who’s been impacted by poor health the last three seasons and played just 12 games in 2026. The report indicates a possible return in late July or early August.

Waldschmidt went 0-for-2 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday’s 5-3 win over the Dodgers.

Waldschmidt returned to action after missing Saturday’s game with a hand injury he sustained Friday when he was hit by a pitch. He’s started in center field twice in the four games since his call-up last Thursday. Tommy Troy (shoulder) was getting regular run there, but he’s batted just .184 (7-for-38) over the last two weeks, opening an opportunity for Waldschmidt.
