The Diamondbacks rallied for a 5-3 win over the Reds on Sunday afternoon, but the news was not all good for the home team at Chase Field. The win came after a long week and some bad news earlier Sunday. A day after a start in which he seemed to struggle with his command, the Diamondbacks placed right-hander Michael Soroka on the 15-day injured list and recalled right-hander Gerardo Carrillo from Triple-A Reno. The week started with second baseman Ketel Marte not showing up for Monday's game at Fenway Park, which started off a days-long drama. Then Soroka, who was making his third start after returning from the IL following a left glute muscle injury, was diagnosed with right shoulder inflammation. Prior to his glute injury, Soroka had been one of the team's best starters this year. In his first two starts after coming off the IL, he allowed just two runs in 10 innings. Saturday night against Cincinnati, though, he fell behind Reds hitters and allowed six runs on six hits while walking three and lasting just 3 1/3 innings. "The fastball command just wasn't where it needed to be, wasn't where it had been all year," Soroka said after the game. "Not good. Just falling behind from the get-go. Wasn't making good pitches behind the count and just wasn't a good day. And they came swinging the bats today and made me pay."
