Latest news and updates about the Diamondbacks
Next time, it counts. Because this time, it sure didn’t. Michael Soroka was slapped around, allowing as many hits as outs recorded – ten of each. The D-backs allowed the Guardians to run the tally of unanswered runs, between yesterday and today, to thirteen before finally getting on the board at Chase Field for the […]
After 32 exhibition games over the last five and a half weeks, things get real on Thursday for the Dodgers, who host the Arizona Diamondbacks on opening day at Dodger Stadium. Yoshinobu Yamamoto starts for the second straight opening day for the Dodgers. He joins Sandy Koufax as the only Dodgers to throw the final […]
Next time, it will count. Today, however? Expect a fairly laid-back game, with most of the regulars checking out after a couple of at-bats. Whether you will be able to tell the difference between that and last night’s two-hit shutout, is a valid question. But after today, we can hopefully breathe a sigh of relief […]
Inspiration. In the AZ Snake Pit’s pre-season wagers, I risked embarrassment. Three of my wagers depend on Geraldo Perdomo. But what if Perdomo’s performance regresses from last season’s highs? That could tip the Diamondbacks below 81 wins. And three of my five wagers would be losers. Let’s look at what will likely happen. Was […]
Diamondbacks News National League Wild Card landscape: What teams do the Diamondbacks have to compete with? by Alex Weiner [Arizona Sports] The National League has a clear favorite, three rebuilding clubs and a large swath of teams that range from young and promising to perennial contender, which should create a competitive atmosphere. On Fangraphs, the Los […]
Sometimes you’re the bug, and sometimes you’re the windscreen. After a ten-run victory in the Cactus League finale yesterday, it was not a happy return to Chase Field for the D-backs. They were held to just two hits – both of them off the bat of Pavin Smith – as former Diamondback Slade Cecconi and […]
Team news [Dbacks.com] Ross, Loáisiga make club as D-backs announce 3 more cuts – Left-hander Philip Abner was optioned to Triple-A Reno while catcher Aramis Garcia and infielder Jacob Amaya were reassigned to Minor League camp.

The San Diego Padres suffered an 11-1 drubbing at the hands of the Arizona Diamondbacks in their Cactus League meeting at the Peoria Sports Complex on Sunday. Walker Buehler took the mound for his finals start of spring and looked good through two innings despite allowing a run. He ran into trouble in the third […]
Record: 15-13-1. Change on 2025: -1. 5-inning Record: 11-16-2. The Diamondbacks saved the best for last, punching out their biggest margin of victory in the final Cactus League game. An emphatic 11-1 victory over the Padres was anchored by Gabriel Moreno, who hit two home-runs and doubled, giving him three long-balls for spring. Jorge Barrosa […]
Roster moves The Arizona Diamondbacks made the following roster moves and have 33 players in camp. Optioned to Triple-A Reno: Reassigned to Minor League camp: The first of these is a bit of a surprise. Only yesterday, I was noting how Abner seemed to have the inside track for left-handers job, after the recent meltdowns […]

No. … Wait, you want more? How about in bold? No. Ok, I guess I should probably show my working a little bit. So what I did was gather up the D-backs’ spring training results for each season since 2003 (which is where ESPN’s statistics begin), with the exception of 2020 – when both spring […]
Team News Ryne Nelson’s Final Spring Start Could be a Sign of Even Better 2026 “It felt good,” Nelson said after his outing Saturday. “[I’m] getting deeper into games, which is nice, and I feel like I had stamina that’s holding up throughout the game, so that’s nice to see. I feel like that’s one […]
Spring training isn’t quite yet complete, but has changed scenery for the Dodgers, who are back home in Southern California to face the Angels for three games in the Freeway Series. Also this week, the real shebang gets underway with opening day and three games against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Here’s a look at the week […]
It was another unseasonably warm day up in the valley, perfect (not) for the Diamondbacks to host the Texas Rangers at Salt River Fields in the penultimate spring training game of 2026. The starting lineup was comprised of pretty much what I think we can expect to see breaking camp with the team in a […]
A contingent of Colorado Rockies prospects faced off against a contingent of Arizona Diamondbacks prospects in the third annual Spring Breakout game, and the heat ended up being a little too much for the Rockies prospects to handle. It was 104 degrees at first pitch, and 93 by the time the game ended around 7pm […]

LHP Austin Gomber gets the nod for Texas in the spring last hurrah opposite RHP Ryne Nelson for Arizona. Today’s Lineups RANGERS DIAMONDBACKS Sam Haggerty – 2B Ketel Marte […]
Interesting that, after I went to press yesterday, the start time for tomorrow’s game was changed to be an evening affair. Today, however? Suck it up, baby. Accuweather currently projects a temperature of 107 F at 4 pm, around the time this one ends. Remember to hydrate, folks. Or, better yet, don’t bother crossing the […]
Diamondbacks News Soroka Sharp Against SoxMichael Soroka looked to be in mid-season form in his final spring outing. The bounce back candidate had a strong outing against the lowly White Sox as he made his case for a place in the rotation. Diamondbacks Game Pushed BackAt this point, it is mostly a reminder that all […]
We’ve reached the point in Spring Training where I must dust off the keyboard and start stretching my fingers out in preparation for my weekly recaps. Tonight’s contest between the Brew Crew and Snakes was originally scheduled to be an afternoon matchup, but due to the unseasonably warm hot weather, the game was flexed to […]
Box Score The Brewers announced prior to Friday night’s game that Jacob Misiorowski will be the Crew’s Opening Day starter against the Chicago White Sox. With that spot secured, Misiorowski got five “ups” in his final spring training tune-up before the regular season. Because of re-entry rules, Misiorowski ends up with 4 1/3 IP, allowing […]
As the heat island of Phoenix continues to fester, I wonder if this is going to become the way of things. By that, I mean Cactus League – and possibly, Fall League – games being moved from the afternoon to the evening, to avoid the worst heat. I’m a little surprised they moved today’s game, […]
We’re now less than a week from Opening Day, and things are certainly coming into focus. While spring training statistics are basically useless in terms of predictive value, when has that ever stopped anyone from looking at them and drawing conclusions? So, based on the Cactus League results so far, here are three players – […]
