Christian Walker Considered Day-To-Day

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker (eye) is considered day-to-day with an eye injury. Walker had to leave the game in the bottom of the fourth inning after being hit in the face by a throw, which caused some swelling in the area under his eye. Manager Torey Lovullo said that Walker is day-to-day with […]

Zac Gallen Throws Simulated Game Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen (forearm) threw a simulated game on Saturday. Gallen tossed 60 pitches at a game intensity and reportedly felt normal fatigue following the outing. The 25-year-old likely was unable to throw curveballs during Saturday's outing- as he felt pain when trying to throw the pitch- though manager Torey Lovullo said […]

Carson Kelly Takes A Seat Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres. Kelly has looked good at the plate so far, collecting a pinch-hit single on Opening Day followed by two more base hits in Friday's game. A popular sleeper pick at the backstop position, Kelly could find it difficult to […]

Nick Ahmed Placed On The Injured List

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed (knee) was placed on the 10-day Injured List on Saturday. This isn't particularly surprising, as earlier reports had indicated that a stint on the sidelines might be in Ahmed's future, given that his lingering patellar tendonitis has kept him out of game action since March 24. In a corresponding move, […]

Geraldo Perdomo Gets The Call

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop prospect Geraldo Perdomo has been recalled from the alternate training site. The move helps cover the team with regular shortstop Nick Ahmed likely being moved to the injured list. Another rookie, Josh Rojas, has been covering the position but is off to a slow start to the year (0-for-9 with three strikeouts). […]

Nick Ahmed Likely Headed To Injured List

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed (knee) seems headed towards an injured list stint as he continues to deal with patellar tendonitis in his right knee. Ahmed hasn't played in a game since March 24- and the recent call-up of highly regarded prospect Geraldo Perdomo seems to point towards an absence for the former. It doesn't […]

Friday Focus: (Looking For) The Heart of Opening Night

It's good to have baseball back. To call the past 12 months challenging would be a masterpiece of understatement. The pandemic has taken so much away from the world, from the trivial to the unfathomably important. There is, at last, light at the end of that particular tunnel. We are not there yet. Even the […]

MLB Betting Picks for Friday 4/2 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Well, a bit of a buzzkill for Opening Day as both plays fell victim. The Cardinals dropped seven runs in the first two innings, all but finishing the Reds before the game even started.
