SEATTLE -- Zac Gallen unleashed a 93 mph fastball to Julio Rodríguez in the sixth inning of Friday night's 6-1 loss to the Mariners, and the slugger fouled it off. Gallen hopped slightly after releasing the pitch and it was clear something was not right. A frustrated Gallen motioned for

ST. LOUIS -- It wasn’t the result that Jordan Montgomery and the D-backs were hoping for on Wednesday, but the long-term ramifications are promising. While the D-backs suffered a 5-1 loss to the Cardinals in the rubber game of a three-game series, what Montgomery (1-1) was able to do in

Three years ago, Charlie Condon attracted zero interest from pro scouts or NCAA Division I baseball programs. He wound up at Georgia as a preferred walk-on and redshirted during his first season in Athens. Now he's the best prospect in the 2024 Draft and sits atop MLB Pipeline's updated and

ST. LOUIS -- On Monday night, D-backs manager Torey Lovullo lamented the missed opportunities his team's offense had in a tough loss. Primarily, the lack of a big hit allowed the Cardinals to stick around for a late comeback. On Tuesday, the D-backs bats provided an early -- and decisive

ST. LOUIS -- As expected, the D-backs placed Merrill Kelly on the injured list Tuesday with a right shoulder strain. Kelly was scratched from Sunday's start at San Francisco and flew back to Phoenix for an MRI on Monday. The 35-year-old right-hander said he felt the shoulder grab while playing

In a sport full of statistical oddities and eye-opening achievements, Jhosmer Alvarez found a unique path to etch his name in the annals of the game. Entering the game for Single-A Visalia in the seventh inning of an eventual 4-3 win, the right-handed Arizona prospect unleashed one of the quirkier

ST. LOUIS -- After lunching at a local favorite spot on Tuesday, Jordan Montgomery rode into Busch Stadium with close friend Dylan Carlson and had to catch himself before nearly walking into the Cardinals’ clubhouse. “It’s weird being on the other side [of Busch Stadium],” Montgomery said with a laugh

There are a kajillion reasons to love baseball -- especially Minor League Baseball. The bobblehead, which has been greeted with an enthusiastic "Yes" from baseball fans at least since MLB put out a set featuring the likes of Roberto Clemente, Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays in 1960, combines many of

ST. LOUIS -- Brandon Pfaadt was in complete control on Monday night, until he wasn't. Pfaadt was unhittable in the early going of the D-backs' 5-3 loss in the first of a three-game series against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium. He retired the first 12 batters he faced. Even after

SAN FRANCISCO -- It’s usually a pretty good bet that if you give Zac Gallen an early lead, the D-backs' right-hander is going to take it from there. So when Christian Walker drove home a run in the top of the first inning, it seemed to be a good sign

SAN FRANCISCO -- So much for the notion that Jordan Montgomery might be rusty or need to get a few outings under his belt before pitching well. The left-hander, who signed a one-year deal with Arizona one day after the season opened, allowed just one run over six innings in

SAN FRANCISCO -- The ball left Mike Yastrzemski’s bat at 87 mph, but when you’re standing 60 feet 6 inches away it may as well be 120 mph, because Ryne Nelson had no time to react. The D-backs right-hander tried to get out of the way, but the ball struck

PHOENIX -- Eugenio Suárez wasn’t afraid to face the music after his two-error game. “[Accountability] for me is very important,” Suárez said after the D-backs’ 5-3 loss to the Cubs on Wednesday afternoon at Chase Field. “You have to make those plays, you got to help the pitching -- they

We've already seen several noteworthy callups in this young season. The biggest came when the Orioles promoted the best prospect in baseball, Jackson Holliday, on April 10. The Dodgers summoned fellow Top 100 prospect Andy Pages on Tuesday to bolster their outfield. When Justin Steele strained a hamstring on Opening

PHOENIX -- If you followed all the ups and downs of the D-backs' game with the Cubs on Tuesday night, you were liable to come away seasick. Outfielder Randal Grichuk, who ended up winning the 12-11 game with a 10th-inning base hit, described it as a roller coaster. D-backs manager

PHOENIX -- It’s not a play you see every day. In fact, as D-backs right-hander Merrill Kelly pointed out, the likelihood of it happening to them again this season is next to nil. But that’s of little comfort to the D-backs after they watched Nico Hoerner score from second base

PHOENIX -- If you didn't watch the D-backs vs. Cardinals game on Sunday afternoon at Chase Field and instead listened to Arizona starter Zac Gallen describe his outing, you might think it was just an average start. "I kind of felt like I was grinding a little bit," Gallen said.
