• Willson Contreras will make his return to the lineup -- sitting out the day before because of the night-game, day-game configuration -- which should give the Cubs' offense a boost. Contreras slashed .321/.400/.619 in July and got off to a good start in August, going 2-for-4 with two RBIs in the series opener against Arizona.
• Since entering the D-backs' starting lineup on July 24, J.D. Martinez has tallied five home runs and 13 RBIs (entering Wednesday), with the most recent blast coming on July 29 against the Cardinals. Of those five home runs, two were hit with an exit velocity of at least 109 mph, according to Statcast, while the July 29 shot was the second farthest he's hit since Statcast began tracking the data in 2015 (projected distance of 466 feet).
• This won't be the first start for Quintana against the D-backs this year. The left-hander allowed eight hits and eight runs in 4 1/3 innings against Arizona on May 24. That start, one of two he's made against the D-backs in his career, also featured the only home run he's surrendered to the lineup -- a two-run shot from Jake Lamb in the fifth inning.
