D-backs make roster moves ahead of game at Red Sox

Summary

The Arizona Diamondbacks are set to face the Boston Red Sox as they finalize their roster decisions. The D-backs reinstated RHP Justin Martinez from the 60-day injured list and OF Jordan Lawlar from the 10-day injured list. Martinez returns after a long layoff due to a sprained right ulnar collateral ligament, while Lawlar comes back from a strained right hamstring. Both players' health is critical as they aim for improved performance heading into the closing weeks of the season. Boston's lineup remains unspecified as game time approaches, while Nolan Arenado is not in the lineup but could be available off the bench.
