• The Arizona Diamondbacks are set to face the Cleveland Guardians in a two-game series, with the first game scheduled for Tuesday. The Diamondbacks will be looking to bounce back after a tough series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, where they lost three out of four games.

• The Guardians will be welcoming back their starting pitcher, Eduardo Rodriguez, who is making his first appearance since June 2022 due to a personal matter. Rodriguez is expected to provide a boost to the Guardians' pitching rotation as they aim to maintain their position in the American League Central division.

• Both teams have had mixed results so far this season, with the Diamondbacks currently holding a 16-13 record and the Guardians sitting at 15-14. This series presents an opportunity for both teams to gain ground in their respective divisions and build momentum heading into the later stages of the season.
