Chris Devenski Earns Save Against Padres Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Chris Devenski earned the team's first save of 2021 on Sunday, allowing one run on one hit in one inning of work. Devenski's only mistake was a two-out Fernando Tatis Jr. home run, but otherwise he looked fine on the mound. While he earned the save, Arizona's closer situation is a […]

Stefan Crichton Used In Non-Save Situation Again

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Stefan Crichton tossed 2/3 scoreless innings on Sunday, allowing two hits while striking out one as he earned his second hold of the year. Crichton took over the closer role in 2020 after Archie Bradley was traded, but now in 2021 he has made three appearances — two of which came […]

Taylor Widener Tosses Six Scoreless Innings In First Career Start

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Taylor Widener made his first career start on Sunday, where he held the San Diego Padres scoreless over six innings in a 3-1 victory.

Carson Kelly Doubles In Win Over Padres

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly went 2-for-4 with a double in Sunday's finale with San Diego. While he might not have had the historic start that Yermin Mercedes has had, Kelly has also gotten off to a hot start in 2021 as he is 5-for-8 through his first three games. After a down year in […]

David Peralta Triples, Drives In Two In Win Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta went 2-for-4 with a triple and two RBI on Sunday, as the Diamondbacks avoided the sweep with a 3-1 victory over the Padres. It was Peralta's most productive day at the plate so far this season, as he entered Sunday's contest 1-for-10 with three strikeouts. Peralta looked solid in Spring […]

Joakim Soria To Be Examined For Possible Calf Strain

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Joakim Soria (calf) will head to Phoenix during the team's off day on Monday to be examined for a possible strain in his left calf, according to The Athletic's Zach Buchanan. Soria left Sunday's game with a trainer after he appeared to tweak something during a groundout. He is the presumed […]

Joakim Soria Exits Game Sunday With Potential Injury

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Joakim Soria exited Sunday's game with the team's trainer after pitching 2/3 of an inning, according to Zach Buchanan of The Athletic. Buchanan says that Soria "seemed to tweak something" during a groundout earlier in the inning, and initially pitched through it before leaving the game. He allowed two walks before […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates - Week 1

Injuries remain commonplace in all sports. Baseball has seen the rate of injury continue to rise over the past few years. In fantasy, if someone is not in the medical field, it is hard to gauge how long a player will be out and whether they need to be replaced in a lineup. Sometimes this […]

Christian Walker Considered Day-To-Day

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker (eye) is considered day-to-day with an eye injury.

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, […]

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 […]
