Latest news and updates about the Diamondbacks
The big news in today’s line-up sits right at the top, where Corbin Carroll is back in the line-up. It’s an amazingly quick return, just one month and a day after he suffered the injury on a swing during live batting practice on February 10. Given that when we looked at previous hamate-afflicted players, the […]
This afternoon, the Athletics will look to make it five Cactus League wins in a row as they play the Arizona Diamondbacks for the second time this spring. A week ago, the Diamondbacks defeated the A’s 3-1. Since then, the A’s offense has woken up in full force, seemingly scoring runs at will during this […]
Daulton Varsho is a 29-year-old, left handed hitting, center fielder. The Jays picked him up in a trade with the Diamondbacks, in December 2022, for Lourdes Gurriel and Gabriel Moreno when they were trying to remake the team. I don’t know that we were extremely excited about the trade. Daulton didn’t have the best year […]
While Tyler Glasnow threw a spring-high 4 1/3 innings on Tuesday for the Dodgers against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Roki Sasaki was looking to get back in sync on the mound. Sasaki allowed seven runs over his first two spring starts, but facing Chicago White Sox prospects on Tuesday, Sasaki marveled over four innings by allowing […]
Record 8-10. Change on 2025: -0.5. 5-inning record: 4-12-2. Jordan Lawlar got things under way at Camelback Ranch, by cranking the second pitch of the day for his team-leading fourth home-run of spring (below). It was a nice little blast, a 382-foot shot with an exit velocity of 103.7 mph. Unfortunately, it was largely downhill […]
Tyler Glasnow continued his march toward pitching in the Dodgers’ opening series, pitching into the fifth inning in a 4-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday at Camelback Ranch. Glasnow allowed a home run on his second pitch of the game, to Diamondbacks outfielder and leadoff batter Jordan Lawlar, but was otherwise stingy. He […]
Over to the West side go the D-backs, hoping for better than the last time they faced the reigning NL West champions. That was on February 25 at Salt River Fields, where Arizona lost 10-7, despite handily out-hitting Los Angeles by a 13-7 margin. Nine walks, and three errors leading to five unearned runs, were […]
The Dodgers’ lineup on Tuesday has their most players likely ticketed for the opening day roster than at any other point this spring. Tuesday game info
Inspiration. Before looking at offense, it must be said that in the last two seasons Carlos Santana’s defense at first base was elite. In 2024 he won the Gold Glove at first base, and in 2025, he was one of the three nominees. Averaging the last two seasons, his yearly Outs-Above-Average (OAA) was 11 (truly […]

Happy Tuesday! The Mariners fell just short in a 1-2 walkoff loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks yesterday, but starter Bryan Woo impressed through four innings with three hits, no walks, and four strikeouts. The Mariners will face the Kansas City Royals at 1:10 PM this afternoon as RHP Cooper Criswell takes the mound. With another […]
Diamondbacks News Diamondbacks honored by state of Arizona for charitable giving milestone by Alex Weiner [Arizona Sports] March 9 is a foundational day on the calendar for the Arizona Diamondbacks, as on this day in 1995, Major League Baseball awarded an expansion franchise to Phoenix. Thirty-one years later, Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs proclaimed March 9 […]
The Diamondbacks are 7-5, fourth in the Cactus League, and still only the third best NL West team in the league. Preview of what’s to come? James: While I never consider Cactus League indicative of anything remotely accurate to the regular season, I do still think AZ finishes 2026 in a battle for third or […]
At a time when his rotation-mates are relishing the opportunity, while their catcher is away at the WBC, to try out new tricks, Bryan Woo is dancing with the one that brought him. Woo looked sharp today in his third spring outing: his pitches were crisp, well-located, and thrown with conviction. He opened with a […]
Record 8-9. Change on 2025: +0.5. 5-inning record: 4-11-2. The pitching was on point for both teams this afternoon. For Arizona, that meant starting with three perfect innings from Zac Gallen, who struck out a trio as he retired all nine batters faced. It took him 41 pitches to get there, and was probably the […]
As I write this, I am watching the Great Britain baseball team take on Brazil in the World Baseball Classic. While both sides have been eliminated, there’s still something to play for here: the winning country will automatically be entered the next WBC, without having to go through the qualification tournament. So this is definitely […]
We’re back, and so is J.P. Crawford. The Mariners play the Diamondbacks in another rousing round of Spring baseball. Crawford is in the lineup and playing shortstop for the first time this Spring, after a slower start than usual while battling shoulder issues. Ryan Bliss and Brendan Donovan flank him on either side of the […]
The Dodgers on Tuesday host the Arizona Diamondbacks at Camelback Ranch, their 18th consecutive day of playing at least one game, before Wednesday’s first scheduled off day of the spring. Tyler Glasnow makes his third start of the spring, progressing nicely toward what will likely be a start in the Dodgers’ opening series of the […]
Team news [Arizona Sports] Brandon Pfaadt: Staying aggressive on defense is ‘the ultimate game plan’ for 2026 season – “One of the interesting things (Torey Lovullo) told us was when we’re on defense, we’re on offense,” Pfaadt said on Arizona Sports’ Wolf & Luke. “I think that kind of stood out to me, and spring […]
Record 7-9. Change on 2025: +0.5. 5-inning record: 4-11-1. As documented this morning by Justin, Torey Lovullo had some harsh words for our pitching. How did they respond? Well, the score above gives you some clue. To be fair, the Arizona defense helped – or, rather, did not. The Diamondbacks were tagged for three errors, […]
In starting the season 1-8, Arizona scored a mere 30 runs with more than two crossing the plate in a frame just three times. This weekend the Wildcats basically matched that offensive output, and in doing so pulled off their first sweep. The UA put up season highs in runs and hits in a 14-4 […]
The Cincinnati Reds embark upon split-squad action on Sunday afternoon in the Land of the Endless Strip Mall, taking on the Arizona Diamondbacks at home in their Goodyear complex while also fencing with the San Diego Padres at their home at the Peoria Sports Complex. Both games, believe it or not, are going to have […]
A big slew of roster moves this afternoon, including some significant names. The Arizona Diamondbacks made the following roster moves and have 47 players in camp. Optioned to Triple-A Reno: Reassigned to Minor League camp: Fernandez… Oh, J. Fernan… Um, I mean Jose Fernandez and Waldschmidt are probably the two names of most significance. Many […]

Record 7-8. Change on 2025: +0.5. 5-inning record: 4-10-1. The streaking Diamondbacks continued – and not in a good way. After winning five spring games in a row, they have now dropped four on the trot. They had the lead here early, courtesy of a first-inning home-run from catcher Gabriel Moreno, and Kohl Drake made […]
