PHOENIX -- Understandably, any time Corbin Carroll exits a game early, Diamondbacks fans get anxious. So, when the All-Star was removed from Sunday’s 10-4 loss to the Blue Jays to start the fifth inning, their concern level was likely high. The team announced that he was removed due to tightness

PHOENIX -- The Michael Soroka signing at last year's Winter Meetings didn't generate much buzz, but through four starts it's shaping up to be a masterstroke by Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen.

There was a familiar face back in the Diamondbacks clubhouse prior to Arizona's 4-3 win over the Phillies on Sunday at Citizens Bank Park, as right-hander Merrill Kelly prepared to throw his between-starts bullpen session. Kelly, who was on the injured list to open the season until being activated, made

The Diamondbacks placed catcher Gabriel Moreno on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday, retroactive to Saturday, with a strained left oblique. An MRI exam taken Saturday had shown a "muscular issue" in Moreno's lower back, according to manager Torey Lovullo, but an oblique strain was his official diagnosis, per the

PHILADELPHIA -- They've played one of the toughest schedules in baseball. They are without their ace pitcher and co-closers. Their All-Star outfielder missed two of the last four games and their starting catcher went down with an injury Friday, and will likely follow a pair of other starting outfielders onto

PHILADELPHIA -- Brandon Pfaadt took a little extra time in lacing up his spikes before his start against the Phillies on Saturday afternoon, being careful to line up the pink laces just right. That's because the laces weren't there just to hold his feet in, but they were delivering an

PHILADELPHIA -- Before Michael Soroka could get his feet under himself in the bottom of the first inning Friday night, the Phillies were all over the bases.

PHILADELPHIA – Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno exited Friday night’s 5-4 victory over the Phillies after the top of the third inning with left lower back tightness. Manager Torey Lovullo indicated after the game that Moreno was day to day. Moreno grounded out to third base in the first inning and

PHILADELPHIA -- The bad news for the Diamondbacks is that outfielder Corbin Carroll was out of the starting lineup for a second straight game Friday night. The good news is his tight left hip flexor was feeling better and he was expected to be available off the bench Friday and

NEW YORK -- Nolan McLean was dealing for the Mets. The right-hander was spinning his breaking ball at an elite level and pumping his fastball, keeping the Diamondbacks' hitters off balance through six innings. But Eduardo Rodriguez was not going to yield. On a cold Thursday night at Citi Field,

NEW YORK -- Corbin Carroll was out of the Diamondbacks' lineup for Thursday night's game with the Mets due to tightness in his left hip flexor. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said that Carroll felt something when he was rounding second base while legging out a triple in the seventh inning

NEW YORK -- As he's grown over the past year as a pitcher, Ryne Nelson has learned to put the results of a start -- good or bad -- behind him quickly and focus on the next one. But there's little doubt that the right-hander was itching to take the

NEW YORK -- The Diamondbacks have a simple mantra when it comes to whether or not they should challenge a pitch using the new ABS Challenge System: If you know, you go. The caveat being that "knowing" must mean you're absolutely certain.

PHOENIX -- After giving up a pair of homers in the ninth inning Friday night, Diamondbacks closer Paul Sewald went home, had dinner with his wife and watched a movie. Every closer has their own way of flushing a less-than-stellar outing. For Sewald, it's about maintaining the consistency of his

PHOENIX -- Less than 24 hours after hitting the first home run of his big league career, Diamondbacks outfielder Jordan Lawlar found himself on the injured list with a fractured right wrist Friday. Lawlar, Arizona's first-round pick (sixth overall) in 2021 out of high school, hit a homer to left-center

PHOENIX -- How influential can a successful ABS challenge be? Well, without Ozzie Albies successfully challenging a full-count pitch, the Braves might not have scored at all in what became an eight-run fifth inning during a 17-2 win over the D-backs on Thursday night at Chase Field. “I’m happy they

PHOENIX -- With two outs in the eighth inning, the Diamondbacks had the tying run on third and the go-ahead run on second, and Tigers manager A.J. Hinch had seen enough from reliever Will Vest. So he went to the mound and called in his closer. As Kenley Jansen jogged
