Corbin Burnes has Teres Major Strain, Unlikely to Return Until September
Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Corbin Burnes (elbow) has been diagnosed with a teres major strain and has been pulled back from his throwing progression, manager Torey Lovullo told Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic. The skipper said the setback probably pushes Burnes' timeline for a return to around September. The 31-year-old veteran only made 11 starts in his first year in Arizona in 2025 before needing Tommy John surgery to fix a torn UCL in his right elbow. There was hope that the former Cy Young winner and four-time All-Star would return at some point in July this year for the Snakes, but his recent setback now means he won't return until the final month of the regular season. It's a tough blow for the D-backs and for any fantasy managers who were stashing the former fantasy ace in an injured-list spot all year. It's now hard to justify holding onto Burnes in redraft leagues. He's currently rostered in 33% of Yahoo leagues.
