Current 40-man roster 40-man roster transactions
Ghost Bunts
Inspiration. Despite not being a power batter, Geraldo Perdomo has a well-earned reputation for excellent results at the plate. A few known strengths are 21.9% chase (90th percentile), 11.5% whiffs (98th percentile), and K% and BB% exceeding the 90th percentile). Also, very positive is his average 4.2 pitches per PA. In 2025, his .389 OBP […]
Snake Bytes, 6/23: Treading Water
Game Recaps Merrill Kelly grinds out bounce-back effort as Diamondbacks fall short vs. Cardinals by Payne Moses [Arizona Sports] Kelly has logged more than one uncharacteristic start this season after re-signing with Arizona, but he didn’t let the latest last week against the Los Angeles Angels (six earned runs on 11 hits) carry over into […]
D-backs again can’t get big hit, fall to Cardinals
Record: 39-39. Pace: 81-81. Change on 2025: -1. I suppose we should have predicted a one-run game here, and it may not be the last in the series. Coming in, the D-backs and Cardinals were first and equal second (with the Dodgers) for the most one run games in the National League. Arizona were 13-12, […]

Arizona Diamondbacks Series Preview : Diamondbacks @ Cardinals
Series Timing. The series timing is better than expected for the Diamondbacks. Recently, the Cardinals had a 3-game losing streak (17-19 June). Last season, they collapsed in July (8 wins, 16 losses), and this season they seem to be starting their collapse in late June. Let’s compare the teams. Offense. This season through 19 June, […]

Recaps [AZ Central] Diamondbacks blow late lead, drop series to Twins – The series loss ended the Diamondbacks’ mini streak of back-to-back series victories. They fell to 39-38. The Diamondbacks managed only six hits, though they did walk five times, creating a variety of scoring opportunities. They went just 1 for 8 with runners in […]
Injuries continue to plague Arizona Diamondbacks: Nelson, Soroka
The injury bug struck again and Nelson is out. Who would you like to see be first in line to replace him? James Attwood: Brandon Pfaadt. Pfaadt’s future is as a starter, whether that is as a #3 or as a #5, he’s still a starter for now. Pfaadt has also had some modest success […]

Diamondbacks 8, Minnesota 16: Gallen Saved the Bullpen
God, what an utterly stupid game. Zac Gallen was going for us. Turns out it didn’t matter who was going for the Twins, though for the record it was Taj Bradley. Our Mr. Gallen really outdid himself tonight, though. His ERA was was sitting at a cool 5.35 at the start of the game; it […]

Which pitching prospects are next up in the farm system?
Introduction There were three rookies getting their very first taste of the big leagues on the D-Backs’ active roster in Ryan Waldschmidt, Tommy Troy, and most recently LuJames Groover. They represent a growing youth movement for the D-Backs that has helped fuel them into the postseason chase alongside their usual veterans. It hasn’t been completely […]

Diamondbacks 9, Twins 5: Corbin Carries the Day
Game Summary The Arizona Diamondbacks have a superstar. Ketel Marte is fantastic, as he showcased with the satellite he launched into orbit on his home run, but Corbin Carroll is a true superstar.

Arizona Diamondbacks to face Minnesota Twins at home
They did it in probably the hardest fashion possible, but the Diamondbacks won a series victory over the Angels. It worked out to basically be treading water. They remain two games above .500 and are still a half game out of the third Wild Card spot. Not a bad position to be in, though, especially […]
Diamondbacks to buy at the deadline
Diamondbacks News (SI.com) Hopeful Diamondbacks Plan To Buy at Trade Deadline It was hardly even a question, thrown in at the end of a radio interview, but Arizona Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen went out of his way to give a definitive, strong statement on his trade deadline plans. “I’m planning on buying,” Hazen said, […]
Fixing first-base failings
The Diamondbacks have had a complete disaster of a season at first-base. The original plan seems to have been to have a platoon there of Pavin Smith and the veteran free-agent Carlos Santana. But injury means that the pair have combined to start just 10 of the 74 games played there. In addition, they have […]

D-Backs Flip the Script in an 8-1 Thumping of the Angels
In baseball, we often like to talk about “flushing” a bad game and mentally preparing for the next one – usually the very next day – as one of several stock phrases to describe the ability to move past failure and try to visualize the next success. It’s a particularly appropriate phenomenon in baseball when […]
