Diamondbacks News Diamondbacks’ Slump Is Hurting Postseason ChancesThe Diamondbacks simply must find a way to get out of this scoring funk they have been in for a while now. Diamondbacks Prospect Has Award Winning Homer SpreeThe Amarillo Sodpoodles’ Avery Owusu-Asiedu has had himself a great time since being promoted to AA. The outfield prospect has […]
In last night’s 3-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks, Houston Astros closer Josh Hader joined some elite company and put himself atop an impressive list: The 32-year-old Hader is perhaps in the midst of his finest season. The 6x All Star and 3x NL Reliever of the Year is currently 4-1 with a career-best 0.70 […]
Chris Sale has needed to counter Cristopher Sanchez, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Brandon Pfaadt, Gerrit Cole, and Jacob Misiorowski in the last month. While the Braves haven’t beaten them all with Sale leading the way, the results have been terrific. How about 67 strikeouts, 4 walks and 1 home run allowed in 52 innings pitched in the […]
Diamondbacks right-hander Corbin Burnes is set to rejoin the club early next week, manager Torey Lovullo hinted to reporters, including Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. Burnes has not pitched in the Majors since June of last year due to Tommy John surgery and, more recently, a teres major strain. Per Lovullo, the team may opt […]
Game Summary The Diamondbacks are nothing if not consistent. Unfortunately, D-Backs fans would perhaps prefer a different sort of consistency. The Snakes scored 1 run for the 4th game in a row have gone hitless with RISP for just as many games. This is their longest streak of RISP ineptitude this season, breaking a tie […]

It was a dismal road trip for the San Diego Padres. The club dropped five of six games and now returns home to Petco Park on the outside of the playoff picture. They aren’t outside it by much (half a game behind the Arizona Diamondbacks), but it hurts. San Diego was viewed as one of […]
On the one hand, the series against the Phillies did not go as one would have wanted. They lost two out of three, the offense was last seen on a milk carton, and the one game they did win required a bullpen game shut out and late inning heroics from James McCann. That said, they […]
The Diamondbacks announced that outfielder Tommy Troy has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list. In a corresponding move, fellow outfielder Jorge Barrosa has been designated for assignment. Barrosa, 25, was signed as an amateur out of Venezuela in 2017. Prospect evaluators generally praised his speed and his defense. Offensively, the switch-hitter showed a good […]
Returning from the Bay with a disappointing series split but a 0.5 game lead over the Padres for the final Wild Card spot, the Diamondbacks would welcome the red hot Philadelphia Phillies into town for a quick 3 game homestand where they would look to add to their Wild Card lead over San Diego while […]
The Arizona Diamondbacks expect Corbin Burnes to return to the rotation against the Kansas City Royals as they continue their push for a Wild Card spot. With only a handful of games remaining in the MLB regular season, the Arizona Diamondbacks are locked in a heated battle with the San Diego Padres in the NL West standings as they push to secure a spot in the Wild Card Series.

PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks are expected to get reinforcements in their starting rotation during their next road trip, and the return of a former National League Cy Young Award winner.

The Reds have agreed to a minor league contract with outfielder Dominic Fletcher. He will report to Triple-A Louisville. The 29-year-old had elected free agency in mid-August after triggering a release clause in his minor league pact with the Pirates. The Diamondbacks drafted Fletcher 75th overall in 2019. He made his MLB debut four years […]
In what came more as confirmation than revelation, the Cubs announced Thursday that Ben Brown will not return this season. He had been symptom-free and was nearing a rehab assignment when he experienced recurring neck pain following an outing at the team’s Mesa complex. Brown returned with the team after the Diamondbacks series and has … The post Cubs Announce Ben Brown Will Miss Rest of Season Due to Neck Issue appeared first on .
Thursday notes… Cubs lineup: Brewers lineup: Kevin Gausman, RHP vs. Logan Henderson, RHP Kevin Gausman has been up and down since his acquisition at the trade deadline. Last week he had a great start against the Diamondbacks, then not so much against the Reds. He allowed three runs in five innings to the Brewers April […]
It was September 6th, 2017. The Diamondbacks completed a sweep of the Dodgers in Los Angeles with a 3-1 victory, Taijuan Walker getting the win and Adam Rosales hitting a go-ahead double in the seventh inning. It was, remarkably, Arizona thirteenth victory in a row, a franchise record which still stands. But what’s more remarkable […]
Introduction While I agree with the general consensus that the Diamondbacks biggest weakness is a failure to develop pitching prospects, and it’s not a strength for the organization, I find most of the criticisms of the current Arizona farm system laughable, when the vast majority of critics can’t name anyone in the farm system. That […]
Most players for the Arizona football team don’t have a legacy to follow in, but for Tre Spivey, he comes from the legacy of Junior Spivey. As a part of the Arizona Diamondbacks’ 2001 World Series Championship team, Junior etched himself into the state of Arizona sports lore. The two Spiveys got to share a […]
Team News Diamondbacks bullpen has finest hour in shutout vs. Phillies: ‘We take pride in what we do’ Taylor Clarke, Derek Law, Kevin Ginkel, Jose Cabrera, Brandyn Garcia, Jonathan Loaisiga and Juan Morillo stymied the Phillies for three hits and two walks. It was the most pitchers used in a nine-inning shutout win in franchise […]
The Phillies wrapped up a nine-game road trip Wednesday afternoon in Arizona, but they really wrapped it up Tuesday night. After winning the first two games of a critical series against the Diamondbacks at Chase Field, the Phillies put together one of their worst offensive efforts of the season in the series finale before heading […] The post The Phillies Won a Series in Arizona for Just the Third Time in the Last Decade appeared first on Crossing Broad .
It’s rare in baseball for a single player to single-handedly win a game because of the structure of the sport. There are very few things a single player can do to have that much leverage in a game and instead requires much more active participation from the rest of the team on the field or […]
The final month of the regular season is with us. Less than four weeks are left, before we’ll know whether Arizona are back in the playoffs for the first time since 2023. Or if they will be left to press their noses to the glass from the outside, like waifs and strays. At least it’s […]
