Corbin Burnes Throws On Flat Ground On Monday, On Track For Next Start
Corbin Burnes (shoulder) threw on flat ground on Monday before the team's series opener at Chase Field against the visiting New York Mets. Burnes then spoke with trainer Ryan DiPanfilo and pitching coach Brian Kaplan, which ended with a fist bump. The D-backs kept the 30-year-old veteran from making his scheduled start on Monday against the Met after he worked his way through right-shoulder fatigue in his last two outings. It sounds as though his throwing session went well on Monday, though, and the team remains optimistic that he won't need to go on the injured list. The four-time All-Star only allowed four runs (two earned) with eight walks and 11 K's in 11 1/3 innings while being less than 100% in his last two starts against the Rays and Mets. Overall, he has a 3.58 ERA and 1.38 WHIP with 28 K's in 32 2/3 innings over his first six starts. Burnes is a must-start in fantasy when he's on the mound. UPDATE: Manager Torey Lovullo said that Burnes is still on track to make his next start.
