After choosing Pirates over Clemson, Bubba Chandler says he's 'only scratched the surface'Bubba Chandler was ready to be a two-sport athlete at Clemson until the Pittsburgh Pirates presented an opportunity to be a two-way professi...
Noé Ramirez - Throws eighth inningRamirez struck out one over a scoreless eighth inning to record the hold in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Pirates.
ImpactRamirez has entered games in the eighth inning in seven of his last eight appearances, including three that ended up as saves for closer Joakim Soria. If the Diamondbacks eventually flip Soria to a contender, presumably the 31-year-old Ramirez would be in line for save opportunities, unless he's dealt as well. Since arriving in Arizona, Ramirez has a 2.77 ERA with six holds over 13 innings.

Asdrúbal Cabrera - Logs ABs with rookiesCabrera (hamstring) played third base and logged four at-bats with the Diamondbacks' entry in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.
ImpactArizona manager Torey Lovullo said the veteran felt "very good" following the session, and Cabrera will get at-bats during a "B" game against minor-league pitchers as a next step. At this point, the organization is hoping to get Cabrera healthy enough so that he can be traded.

Bryan Reynolds - Three hits in lossReynolds went 3-for-4 with a double in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to Arizona.
ImpactThe 26-year-old hasn't slowed down a bit since the All-Star break, going 9-for-25 (.360) with a home run, three RBI and four runs scored in his last six games. Reynolds continues to hit consistently in the middle of Pittsburgh's order with a .306/.390/.519 slash line through 392 plate appearances. He's added a career-high 17 home runs to go with 54 RBI, 54 runs scored and three stolen bases.

Gregory Polanco - Records steal WednesdayPolanco went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to Arizona.
ImpactPolanco got aboard with a single in the second inning, then stole second and scored on a Jared Oliva single. This was Polanco's 10th steal of the season, giving him his fifth campaign at double digits in stolen bases. He's added 10 home runs, 25 RBI, 26 runs scored and a .203/.281/.371 slash line through 270 plate appearances.

Duane Underwood Jr. - Charged with lossUnderwood (2-3) took the loss versus Arizona on Wednesday. He allowed two runs on three hits and struck out one in one inning.
ImpactUnderwood was taken deep back-to-back by Pavin Smith and Daulton Varsho, and that was enough to stick the right-hander with the loss. Wednesday was the first time in 31 appearances Underwood allowed multiple homers. He's posted a 5.02 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 48:19 K:BB through 52 innings, but nine of the 29 earned runs he's allowed have come in his last three outings.

Max Kranick - Unimpressive in no-decisionKranick allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out three over three innings in a no-decision versus Arizona on Wednesday.
ImpactThe 24-year-old has now made three starts this year, and the last two have been uninspiring. Kranick owns a 5.73 ERA and 1.36 WHIP through 11 innings this season, which suggests he'll be little more than a fill-in starter while Chase De Jong (knee) is on the injured list. Kranick lines up for a home start versus Milwaukee next week if he remains in the rotation.
