Luplow went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Luplow's first-inning blast wiped out the 2-0 lead Miami took in the top of the frame. From there, it was all Madison Bumgarner and key hits from the lower half of the order. The homer was Luplow's third of the season while working in a part-time role. The righty-hitting outfielder is in the lineup when the Diamondbacks face left-handed starters.

Luplow started in center field and went 0-for-3 with a walk, two stolen bases and a run scored in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
With a lefty on the bump, Luplow was in the lineup and batting second. He scored Arizona's lone run in the eighth inning after stealing second and third base. At the time, it put Arizona up 1-0, but Mark Melancon blew the save. Luplow has three steals, matching his MLB high in swipes set in 2019 as a member of Cleveland. He stole double-digit bases twice in the minors -- 10 in 2014 in rookie ball and 11 in 2015 in Low-A -- but there's little evidence to indicate the 28-year-old will deliver much value in the category at the major-league level.

Luplow is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.
EDGE Analysis
Since returning from the injured list April 25, Luplow has made a strong push for a near-everyday role. He's appeared in eight of Arizona's nine games since being activated, starting five times while going 5-for-21 with two home runs, two walks, five RBI, four runs and a stolen base. Arizona likely envisioned the righty-hitting Luplow filling the short side of a platoon in the outfield, but the ongoing struggles of designated hitter Seth Beer and first baseman Christian Walker have allowed Luplow to push for more work against right-handed pitching.

Luplow went 2-for-4 with two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 5-4 win over Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Luplow did most of his work in the fifth inning Monday. He knocked an RBI single, swiped second base and scored on David Peralta's base hit. He later brought in another run with a seventh-inning single. Luplow has gone 4-for-8 with four RBI and two home runs over his last two games.

Luplow went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Considering Luplow had just one hit in his first 11 at-bats this season, this was a surprising performance. The outfielder has seen a little more than just the short side of a platoon -- it appears he'll serve as a fourth outfielder for the Diamondbacks to begin with. He logged a .202/.326/.454 slash line with 11 home runs, 28 RBI, 23 runs scored and a stolen base in 62 games between Cleveland and Tampa Bay last season.

Luplow entered Monday's game as a pinch hitter and flied out in the eighth inning of a 4-0 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Luplow was activated off the injured list after missing the start of the season due to an oblique injury. He'll serve as outfield depth and likely start when Arizona faces left-handers.

Luplow (oblique) was activated off the 10-day injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Luplow has been out since the start of the season with a strained oblique but is ready to go without making a rehab assignment. He isn't in the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers but should get the chance to carve out some playing time on a team that's hitting .189/.286/.326 as a whole.

Luplow (oblique) could be activated at some point during the Diamondbacks' upcoming homestand that opens Friday, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo did not specify whether Luplow would return closer to the beginning or end of the homestand. The Diamondbacks host the Mets beginning Friday then the Dodgers on Monday. The outfielder had five at-bats and played five innings in the field during an exhibition game Monday at the team's training facility. The manager left open the possibility that Luplow and Nick Ahmed (shoulder) could head out on a rehab assignment before joining the MLB roster.

Luplow (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Luplow sustained a Grade 1 oblique strain during spring training and will be unavailable to begin the regular season. Once he's healthy, Luplow is expected to see playing time against southpaws as part of the team's outfield that has plenty of left-handed bats.

Manager Torey Lovullo said Wednesday that Luplow has a Grade 1 strain in his oblique, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Luplow appeared in six Cactus League games to begin spring training and went 4-for-16 with a home run, two doubles, three RBI, two runs, two walks and two strikeouts. While Lovullo didn't officially rule the outfielder out for Opening Day, the 28-year-old faces a tight timetable with the start of the season just over a week away. The Diamondbacks have several left-handed hitters in the outfield, so Luplow will likely see playing time against right-handed pitchers when he's healthy.
