Daulton Varsho Out of the Lineup Sunday ###
Diamondbacks' Catcher Dealing With Hamstring Tightness **PHOENIX --** Daulton Varsho will not be in the lineup for the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday due to right hamstring tightness. Varsho exited Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs in the eighth inning after experiencing discomfort while running to first base. He is listed as day-to-day and will be reevaluated on Sunday morning. ###
Depth at Catcher Will Provide Coverage In Varsho's absence, the Diamondbacks will likely turn to Carson Kelly to start behind the plate. Kelly is hitting .265 with seven home runs and 35 RBIs this season. The Diamondbacks also have Wyatt Mathisen on the roster, who has played in 19 games this year and is hitting .222 with two home runs and 10 RBIs. ###
Varsho's Absence a Blow to Arizona's Lineup Varsho has been one of the Diamondbacks' most productive players this season, hitting .287 with 12 home runs and 42 RBIs. He is also a valuable defensive player, having thrown out 22% of potential basestealers. The Diamondbacks will hope to have Varsho back in the lineup as soon as possible, but they will have to rely on their depth at catcher in the meantime.
