Chasing Wild-Card Spot, D-Backs Place RHP Corbin Burnes on IL
Arizona recalled Jose Cabrera as Burnes was sidelined after allowing five home runs in his last two starts.
- The Arizona Diamondbacks placed right-hander Corbin Burnes on the 15-day injured list Friday with shoulder inflammation, scratching him from his scheduled Saturday start against the San Diego Padres.
- Retroactive to Tuesday, the move complicates Arizona's push for the final National League wild-card spot as the team fights for a playoff berth in the 2026 season's final days.
- Arizona recalled right-hander Jose Cabrera from Triple-A Reno, while the team considers Ryne Nelson or Zac Gallen to cover the rotation opening left by Burnes' absence.
- Despite signing a six-year, $210 million contract, Burnes struggled following his return from Tommy John surgery, posting a 7.84 ERA across three starts with diminished velocity.
- Barring an extremely deep postseason run, Burnes likely will not pitch for Arizona again this season, effectively ending his 2026 campaign due to the shoulder injury timing.
