Notes - Stevenson getting the start in CF vs. RHP. I think this is Harrison's first day off since coming off COVID DL. Bell gets the start against a righty. Weaver has pitched well in terms of results, but has given up 3 HRs. Fedde's had a huge improvement his last start with Gomes catching (2 walks, 2 hits over 4.2 innings). Wind will be left to right.
No D-back has more than 5 PAs vs. Fedde. Asdrubel did take him deep. Against Weaver, several have faced him 8 or more times, with Schwarber (11 PAs, .989 OPS, 4 for 9 with 2 walks) and Mercer (8 PAs, 1.000 OPS) having the most success, and Bell being meh (17 PAs, .732 OPS). In limited PAs, Turner (2 for 3) and Castro (2 for 3, 1 HR) have done well.
