Alex Avila is out of the starting lineup on Friday against the Rockies.
It's not a huge surprise, as the Diamondbacks are likely going to sit Avila against left-handers whenever possible, and Tyler Anderson gets the start for the Rockies. John Ryan Murphy gets the starting assignment behind the plate. The rest of the lineup: David Peralta LF, Ketel Marte 2B, Paul Goldschmidt 1B, A.J. Pollock CF, Chris Owings RF, Jake Lamb 3B, Nick Ahmed SS, Murphy C, and Robbie Ray on the mound.

Diamondbacks signed C Alex Avila to a two-year, $8.25 million contract.
Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that Avila passed his physical on Tuesday, and the deal is now official with Reymond Fuentes being designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster. Avila, 31, spent the 2017 season with the Tigers and Cubs, hitting 14 homers with 49 RBI and an .834 OPS in 112 games between the two clubs. He should be the primary catcher for Arizona in 2018, with backups Jeff Mathis and Chris Herrmann likely getting the occasional start to give the left-handed-hitting veteran a day off.

Arizona Diamondbacks on Twitter
Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic confirms that free agent catcher Alex Avila has agreed to a two-year, $8.25 million contract with the Diamondbacks.
Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic was first to pass along word of the Diamondbacks' deal with Avila on Tuesday night, and now the framework of the contract has been disclosed. It's all pending a physical, which should take place sometime this week in the Phoenix area. Avila figures to carry a good amount of fantasy value in power-friendly Arizona after batting .264/.387/.447 with 14 home runs and 49 RBI in 112 games last season between the Tigers and Cubs. Jeff Mathis and Chris Herrmann will get starts, but Avila is probably going to be the main guy behind the plate because of the offensive upside.

Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports that the Diamondbacks are nearing an agreement with free agent catcher Alex Avila.
Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports says the deal is done, pending a physical. Financial details have not been disclosed. Avila was known to be drawing heavy interest from the Nationals, but the Diamondbacks can offer a better opportunity for regular playing time and the 31-year-old should get a nice boost in fantasy relevance with the move to Arizona's hitter-friendly Chase Field. Avila put up an impressive .264/.387/.447 batting line with 14 home runs and 49 RBI in 112 games last season between the Tigers and Cubs.

Jake Lamb
10-Day DL
Jake Lamb (shoulder) is scheduled to play third base in an extended spring training game on Wednesday.
That's a significant step for the 27-year-old third baseman, who has been on the disabled list since April 3 with an AC sprain in his left shoulder. It seems feasible that he could return to the Diamondbacks' starting lineup before the end of the month, assuming there are no setbacks. Daniel Descalso and Deven Marrero have been filling in at the hot corner for Arizona.

Steven Souza
10-Day DL
Steven Souza will be shut down for a few days after he felt some soreness in his injured right pectoral while throwing Monday.
An MRI showed some excess fluid in Souza's pec. The Diamondbacks aren't viewing it as a setback, so it would appear that Souza still has a chance to be activated in about a week.

Taijuan Walker
10-Day DL
Taijuan Walker will need to undergo Tommy John surgery for his partially torn UCL.
Walker's initial tests showed damage to his ulnar collateral ligament (UCL), but there was some hope that the 25-year-old right-hander wouldn't have to go under the knife. That hope has given way to reality, and Walker will undergo the major reconstructive elbow procedure sometime in the near future. His 2018 season is over, and we likely won't see him back on the mound until the second half of 2019.

Shelby Miller
60-Day DL
Shelby Miller (elbow) incorporated breaking balls in a 35-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday.
It was his fifth bullpen of the spring as he works his way back from Tommy John surgery. The 27-year-old is still only about 11 months removed from the procedure, so he's likely looking at a return around midseason.
