The Arizona Diamondbacks already face a chance to earn, at minimum, a series split with their NL West Rival San Diego Padres. Monday night's series opener quickly turned into an 8-0 thrashing of a victory for the Diamondbacks. But with a struggling Zac Gallen on the mound, Arizona will likely need a second straight quality offensive showing — a consistency that has evaded this team for much of the 2026 season to this point. With a right-handed pitcher on the mound for San Diego in German Marquez, let's take a look at the batting order for Tuesday night's showdown, scheduled for a 6:40 p.m. first pitch.

For one, Pavin Smith has returned. Smith has — in no way quietly — been unproductive this season, and has seen his playing time begin to dip, even against right-handed pitching. He's hitting just .155, and it feels as if the leash could be getting shorter as he continues to struggle.Max Kepler, who was brought in to help remedy that lack of left-handed slug, managed to put forward his first high-impact performance on Monday, and is back in left field over Lourdes Gurriel Jr., who won't lay the field or DH — for a reason.That reason being the return of James McCann, who will catch Gallen over Gabriel Moreno. The D-backs will still keep Moreno's bat in the cleanup spot as the DH, but McCann, who has been somewhat of a personal catcher for Gallen when healthy, will get his first start behind the plate since his activation from the IL Monday afternoon.

Zac Gallen's 2026 season has gone from poor to abysmal, and it does not appear to be leveling off. He's got an MLB-worst 6.36 ERA and is 3-8 on the season.Gallen has had success against the Padres in Petco — a 3.38 road ERA against San Diego, in fact. More than ever, he needs to tap back into that success.German Marquez has a mixed bag of results against Arizona, with a 4.15 ERA in 15 appearances.Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
