PHOENIX -- Josh Naylor knew it was coming, so he started getting settled into the batter’s box even before Randal Grichuk left it to take his free pass. With left-hander Bryan Hudson on the mound and Grichuk -- who beats up lefties -- at the plate with first base open,

Here’s where we are with the state of pitching in 2025: Let’s bring up a pitcher who throws two different fastballs that both have 100 mph velocity but with slightly different movement patterns. But we're mostly going to ignore those heaters, because neither is the pitch that makes him stand

PHOENIX -- Pat Murphy and the Brewers had a four-run lead in the bottom of the ninth inning and were two outs from celebrating a second straight shutout victory -- on a night they’d scratched out some early runs against old friend Corbin Burnes. Over in the D-backs' dugout, there

This page will be updated throughout the year with all the latest D-backs injury news and transactions.

The future appears to be closer than ever after some top prospects put on a show, particularly at Triple-A. We saw Aviators take flight with some soaring home runs and a Space Cowboy slammed the door in emphatic fashion. Add in a walk-off grand slam from a Top 100 prospect

PHOENIX -- The Brewers opted not to issue uniform No. 39 last season in a subtle show of respect to Corbin Burnes, the homegrown ace who won the franchise’s first Cy Young Award in 39 years in 2021 and represented Milwaukee in a pair of All-Star Games before he was

With his 5-foot-10, 165-pound frame, nobody is ever going to confuse Corbin Carroll for Aaron Judge or Shohei Ohtani. But so far this season, the D-backs speedster is slugging like one of the big boys. Through Friday, Carroll had homered five times in 14 games to start 2025. And it’s

PHOENIX -- The tweet presented a fascinating situation: “Imagine going to the ballpark to see a game between Greg Maddux and Randy Johnson, but get disappointed, they get scratched for a young Max Scherzer and a young Clayton Kershaw.”

The Minor Leagues are in full swing with Triple-A circuits two weeks into their seasons and Double-A, High-A and Single-A leagues a week into theirs. That means plenty of great baseball to watch, either in person or via MiLB.TV, which streams games for 117 of the 120 full-season affiliates.

PHOENIX -- The free-agent process features plenty of back-and-forth negotiation. Teams and players’ agents trade salary figures and discuss contract lengths often from the time MLB’s offseason begins in November and can continue them up until close to Spring Training at times. Corbin Burnes got his first taste of free

PHOENIX -- It’s a fine line that Jake McCarthy walks these days. The Diamondbacks outfielder is trying to keep perspective on his rough start to the season, reminding himself that there is a long way to go, that he’s battled tough times before and that this too shall pass.

Needless to say, MVP Awards are not won (or lost) in the first two weeks of the season. Remember 2024? Aaron Judge didn’t really get things going until May. Yes, sensational starts can fizzle out quickly. Cold April slumps are forgotten when the weather, and the bats, heat up. But

WASHINGTON -- Ahead of the D-backs’ 5-4 series-finale loss vs. the Nationals on Sunday, manager Torey Lovullo expressed his full confidence in his ace, Corbin Burnes. “I'm going to sleep good knowing that Corbin is going to be taking the mound tomorrow,” Lovullo said postgame Saturday. “And I know that

WASHINGTON -- For the first time in over 24 hours, Tim Tawa finally had a chance to breathe as he stood at his locker in the D-backs’ clubhouse at Nationals Park on Saturday evening. “It’s still sinking in a little bit,” Tawa said.
