Torey Lovullo after D-Backs’ fifth straight loss
SAN FRANCISCO – Jake Barrett served up a home run in his first outing back in the big leagues on July 7. But the Diamondbacks reliever hasn’t allowed anything since, entering Sunday with 11 consecutive scoreless appearances.
He’s seemed to quickly earn the trust of manager Torey Lovullo, who has used Barrett in a variety of roles, including asking him to protect a lead in the seventh inning on Saturday night against the Giants.
“He fills a lot of different spots for me,” Lovullo said. “When I’m kind of projecting some matchups, he fits in a lot of different areas. That versatility has been a luxury for me. The thing is, he comes in and he presses the zone with his fastball. He’s gotten big outs.”

Barrett was bothered by shoulder issues throughout spring training and didn’t appear in minor league games until late April. He said it took several weeks before he felt like his old self.
Barrett didn’t crack the big league bullpen until a couple of weeks after Rubby De La Rosa. But when the Diamondbacks needed a roster spot to add David Hernandez last week, it was De La Rosa – not Barrett – who was optioned.
Barrett finished last season as the team’s best reliever and even saw time in the closer’s role. His duties have changed this year but he says he’s fine with it.
“I feel like I don’t have a role right now and I’ve just been throwing in any situation possible right now, just really whenever I’m called upon I’m ready to go out there,” he said. “I’m just trying to attack hitters and make sure I’m going out there feeling good.”
Injury updates
Left-hander Robbie Ray played catch again Saturday, Lovullo said, and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Monday, his first since suffering a concussion on July 28.
Ray is still not a candidate to start on Thursday against the Dodgers. Ray is likely to need a minor league rehab outing or some kind of simulated game before returning to the rotation.
“We want to get him through the first bullpen and then come up with a game plan,” Lovullo said.
Right-hander Randall Delgado’s throwing program got out to 90 feet. He’ll take Sunday off from throwing and pick up again on Monday.
Positioning debate
Jarrett Parker’s game-winning hit in the bottom of the 10th inning on Saturday came on a ground ball that, in most instances, the second baseman would be able to field without incident.
But the Diamondbacks had Adam Rosales shifted into short right field and swung over toward first base, and by the time Rosales got to the ball, he had no chance to throw out Parker.
“It was a great debate that we had last night,” Lovullo said. “We take a lot of pride in positioning guys the best we possibly can. In that situation, left-on-left, in that particular matchup, we were exactly where we were supposed to be and he just beat us. I know it’s easy and my natural instinct was to review this and see where we should have been, but we were exactly where we were supposed to be.”
Short hop
Second baseman Brandon Drury said after Sunday’s game he felt fine despite a scary moment in the seventh inning when he was hit in the head by a 92 mph fastball from Giants reliever Cory Gearrin. The pitch, he said, broke off a piece of the brim of his batting helmet. “It didn’t square me up as good as it could have,” Drury said. “I’m just thankful I’m OK.”
