KEY GAME INFORMATION
ST LOUIS: 2016: 86-76, second place
Manager: Mike Matheny (sixth season)
Who's new? OF Dexter Fowler, C Eric Fryer, LH Brett Cecil
Who's gone? 1B Brandon Moss, OF Matt Holliday, OF Jeremy Hazelbaker, RHP Jaime Garcia, RHP Seth Maness, RHP Jerome Williams
Projected lineup: CF Dexter Fowler (.276, 13 HR, 48 RBI, 13 SB with Cubs), SS Aledmys Diaz (.300, 17, 65), 1B Matt Carpenter (.271, 21, 68), RF Stephen Piscotty (.273, 22, 85), C Yadier Molina (.307, 8, 58), 3B Jedd Gyorko (.243, 30, 59), 2B Kolten Wong (.240, 5, 23), LF Randal Grichuk (.240, 24, 68)
Rotation: RH Carlos Martinez (16-9, 3.04 ERA), RH Adam Wainwright (13-9, 4.62), RH Mike Leake (9-12, 4.69), RH Michael Wacha (7-7, 5.09), RH Lance Lynn (did not pitch - Tommy John surgery)
Key relievers: RH Seung-hwan Oh (6-3, 1.92 ERA 19/23 SV), LH Kevin Siegrist (6-3, 2.77), RH Trevor Rosenthal (2-4, 4.46, 14/18 SV), LH Brett Cecil (1-7, 3.93 with Blue Jays), RH Jonathan Broxton (4-2, 4.30), RH Matt Bowman (2-5, 3.46), RH Miguel Socolovich (1-0, 2.00)
Hot spots: Rotation. The back end looked like a big leap of faith when spring training began. Wainwright and Wacha are coming off their worst seasons. Another 2013 World Series mainstay, Lynn, didn't pitch last season as he recovered from Tommy John surgery. Then, on the first day of camp, 22-year-old right-hander Alex Reyes learned he needed Tommy John himself. That leaves a lot of question marks after ace Martinez ' more than any Cardinals staff has faced in years.
Outlook: This 40-man roster hints at a team in transition. Venerable 34-year-old catcher Molina is still St. Louis' biggest star. Reyes' injury hurts the youth movement, but the Cardinals are still stacked with talented 20-something sluggers ' Piscotty, Diaz, Gyorko and Grichuk ' who could emerge as household names. Adding Fowler's speed and patience should complement an already deep lineup. The pitching staff is a different matter. Barring a big resurgence from Wainwright, Lynn and Wacha (or a big trade) it's hard to see the Cardinals contending for more than a wild card spot in the Cubs' shadow.
ARIZONA: 2016: 69-93, fourth place
Manager: Torey Lovullo (first season)
Who's new? C Chris Iannetta, C Jeff Mathis, IF/OF Daniel Descalso, RHP Taijuan Walker, RHP Fernando Rodney, RHP Tom Wilhelmsen, RHP Kevin Jepsen, RHP Tyler Jones
Who's gone? Manager Chip Hale, SS Jean Segura, IF/OF Phil Gosselin, OF Peter O'Brien, C Welington Castillo, C Tuffy Gosewich, OF Rickie Weeks Jr., RHP Daniel Hudson, LHP Edwin Escobar
Projected lineup: CF A.J. Pollock (.244, 2 HR, 4 RBI in 12 games), 3B Jake Lamb (.249, 9, 29), 1B Paul Goldschmidt (.297, 24, 95, 32 SB), RF David Peralta (.251, .4, 15), LF Yasmany Tomas (.272, 31, 83), 2B Brandon Drury (.282, 16, 53), SS Chris Owings (.277, 5, 49, 21 SB), C Chris Iannetta (.210, 7, 24 with Mariners) or Jeff Mathis (.238, 2, 15 with Marlins)
Rotation: RH Zack Greinke (13-7, 4.37 ERA), RH Taijuan Walker (8-11, 4.22), LH Robbie Ray (8-15, 4.90), LH Patrick Corbin (5-13, 5.15), RH Shelby Miller (3-12, 6.15)
Key relievers: RH Fernando Rodney (2-4, 3.44, 25/28 SV with Padres and Marlins), RH Jake Barrett (1-2, 3.49), RH Randall Delgado (5-2, 4.44), LH Andrew Chafin (0-1, 6.75), RH Kevin Jepsen (2-6, 5.98, 7/11 SV with Twins and Rays), RH Tom Wilhelmsen (2-4, 6.80 with Rangers and Mariners)
Hot spots: Rotation and catcher. The Diamondbacks' rotation was atrocious in 2016, ranking 29th in MLB in ERA. But hey, maybe it wasn't all their fault. In his first year as general manager, Mike Hazen installed a 'pitching strategist' (Dan Haren) and three new catchers (former Angels Iannetta, Mathis and Hank Conger). Meanwhile, nine of the 10 pitchers who started a game for the Diamondbacks last year remain in the organization. It's a bold experiment in how to fix a pitching staff. Iannetta and Mathis can frame all the borderline pitches they want. At some point, the onus will fall on Greinke, Ray, Miller, Corbin and newcomer Walker to perform to their potential.
Outlook: It wasn't long ago that Arizona spent $206 million to coax Greinke to defect from the Dodgers. Now the Diamondbacks feel like a team on the brink of a complete rebuild. Even without Jean Segura, who led the National League in hits, the lineup will score enough to keep Arizona competitive. But what to make of the pitching staff? The rotation beyond Greinke could be anywhere from awesome to abysmal. The ninth inning belongs to 39-year-old Rodney and, if he fails, a who's-who list of failed former closers: Wilhelmsen, Jepsen or J.J. Hoover. The farm system is in poor shape. If things get worse before they get better, Greinke could be the first player traded.
PREVIEW
Cardinals look to slow hot Diamondbacks
 

PHOENIX -- The Arizona Diamondbacks, heading into a series against the St. Louis Cardinals that starts Tuesday, are in a stretch in which they can do no wrong.

Take Monday.

Major league RBI leader Paul Goldschmidt was given the day off -- the first game he has missed all season -- as was new leadoff hitter Gregor Blanco, who has taken over that spot with nominal No. 1 A.J. Pollock on the disabled list.

So ...

Utility man Daniel Descalso, who won the Sunday game with an 11th-inning single, drove in three runs with a pair of singles while playing first base for Goldschmidt in a 6-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.

Reserve catcher/outfielder Chris Herrmann, batting leadoff for the first time in his career, hit the sixth pitch he saw for this career-high seventh homer in the first inning to start the D-backs (49-28) toward their 15th victory in 18 games.

"I know you are supposed to see a lot of pitches, so I did that part," said Herrmann, who also drew two walks, one with the bases loaded. "It was pretty cool. Probably one of my favorite home runs I've ever hit, because I'm not a leadoff hitter."

St. Louis (35-40) will attempt to stall Arizona's roll when Carlos Martinez faces Taijuan Walker as the teams meet in the opener of a three-game series Tuesday at Chase Field.

Randal Grichuk, who was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, homered for the second time in as many games Monday in the Cardinals' 8-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. He had five homers in his last six games with Memphis before being recalled.

"More so what I was working on was not thinking about things," Grichuk said. "Not thinking about my swing. Not thinking about what pitch is coming. Not thinking about who is throwing it.

"I think power is my game. But moving forward, it is not a one-dimensional hitter."

The Cardinals are 13-21 in their stretch of 47 games in 48 days leading up to the All-Star break.

Arizona is 29-10 at home, the second-best home record in the majors, trailing only the Dodgers.

Walker is 6-3 with a 3.43 ERA in 11 starts, having missed four turns through the rotation with a pesky blister on the middle finger of his right hand. Since returning, he won at Detroit and at Colorado. He gave up three runs and struck out eight in six innings of a 16-5 victory against the Rockies last Wednesday.

"The finger issue is behind him," said Arizona manager Torey Lovullo, who saw a lot to like in Walker's outing in Colorado.

"It was an aggressive fastball, up-down fastball. The secondary stuff, the slider seemed to be a very effective pitch. It was late and short. He's throwing a curveball and a changeup, and I know those pitches were hard for him to throw with the finger (injury). With that healing, he is able to work through all his pitches."

Walker will be pitching on five days' rest, an accommodation that was given to every member of the rotation when Randall Delgado made a spot start on Sunday.

"We are looking for moments to give guys breaks and ... the ability to recover," Lovullo said. "It is a long season, and we want to make sure in August and September, these games are going to be very meaningful in our anticipation, that they are ready to go."

Martinez is 6-6 with a 2.87 ERA in 15 starts. He has 11 quality starts, including 10 in his past 11 appearances, and is tied for fourth in the league in that category. He has given up three earned runs in his past 21 innings, including a four-hit shutout against Philadelphia on June 10. He is third in the NL in ERA behind Max Scherzer and Clayton Kershaw and is seventh with 111 strikeouts.

Martinez is 2-1 with a 2.86 ERA in seven appearances, four starts, against Arizona, splitting two starts against the D-backs last season. He is among the small subset of pitchers who have had success at Chase Field, going 2-0 with a 1.76 ERA. He tossed eight scoreless innings in an 8-2 victory at Arizona on April 26, 2016. He is 2-5 with a 4.29 ERA in seven road starts this season.
