Corbin Burnes Nearing Return to Game Action?
Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Corbin Burnes (elbow) said he has two more bullpen sessions before he can potentially face live hitters next Friday, per Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic. Piecoro also reports that Burns thinks it could be a "couple of weeks or so before he starts getting into games," and that Burnes is still targeting a "mid-July-ish" return to the big leagues. Burnes is working his way back from Tommy John Surgery, which ended his 2025 campaign last June. The 31-year-old appears to be progressing toward a relatively speedy return, although he still has several tasks to complete. Before getting injured last season, Burnes recorded a 3-2 record with a 2.66 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and 63 strikeouts across 64 1/3 innings (11 starts). While he may not immediately return to peak performance in 2026, he should provide roster-worthy production across all fantasy formats upon his return.
