PHOENIX – For years, Zac Gallen represented everything the Diamondbacks wanted their pitching staff to be. He consistently outsmarted hitters, mixed pitches with precision, and lived one step ahead of every lineup. That formula helped turn him into a Cy Young contender and one of baseball’s most dependable starters. Today, that blueprint is falling apart, […]
After a rough series in Tampa, Arizona comes home to hopefully get right again against the flailing Giants. To say that Arizona had a rough go of things while in Tampa is putting things mildly. After a dreadful road trip, Arizona limps home with a record one game below .500 . They remain third in […]

Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Frank Schwindel, and a mighty host of others. Today in baseball history, in 2004 – At Bank One Ballpark, the Diamondbacks’ 40-year-old fireballer Randy Johnson records his 4,000th career strikeout to become the fourth player in major league history to reach the plateau. The “Big Unit” needs fewer innings (3,237.1) than Nolan Ryan (3,844.2), Roger Clemens (4,151) […]
Austin Hedges and Josh Naylor had some verbal exchanges for each other during the Cleveland Guardians’ clash with the Seattle Mariners on Sunday night. Naylor and Hedges played together for four full seasons together on the Guardians and San Diego Padres. They last played together in 2024 before Cleveland traded Naylor to the Arizona Diamondbacks […] The post Guardians’ Austin Hedges makes wild claim right to Josh Naylor’s face appeared first on ClutchPoints .
It was always going to be a rough outing for the Diamondbacks today. The Rays were going for the series sweep that would keep them in possession of first place in the AL East. Tampa sent Drew Rasmussen to the mound, he of the 2.62 ERA. Rasmussen wasted no time in the first inning, getting […]

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Max Kepler played his first game of the 2026 Major League Baseball season on Friday after serving an 80-game suspension due to testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. In January, the 12-year veteran tested positive for epitrenbolone, a metabolite of trenbolone that’s found in some bodybuilding products and has been used in…

The Braves signed first baseman Carlos Santana to a minor league deal, reports Jeff Passan of ESPN. Santana was released by the Diamondbacks on Friday. Arizona inked Santana to a $2MM deal in the spring. The agreement saw the veteran play just eight games with the club. Santana went down with an adductor strain in […]
Before you could grab your hot dog, popcorn, and preferred pilsner beverage, the Diamondbacks took a 1-0 lead on a Geraldo Perdomo double, Corbin Carroll single, and a whiff of a tag from catcher Hunter Feduccia. In the bottom half of the first, Junior Caminero hit a thunderous, sky-scraping blast for his sixth homer in […]
I was initially going to call this “Bouncy Castle Blues,” because that’s what Tropicana Field reminds me of as much as anything. With its synthetic fabric top, and its weirdly springy turf, and the fact that try as we might we never seem to play competent baseball there, it seems fitting. But that would have […]
The Jarren Duran mess in Boston continues. The 2024 All-Star has been anything but since then. His numbers slumped across the board last season, and he's hit career lows in 2026. Batting .201 with a .622 OPS, it's fair to wonder how much value the Red Sox outfielder has left on the trade market. Sean MacAdam of MassLive wrote earlier this year that " The Diamondbacks have long coveted Jarren Duran." If their interest hasn't waned in the light of this ugly season, we have a proposed trade...

Why I (Usually) Won’t Rank Dbacks Pitchers If it feels like I’ve been going out of my way to not talk about any of the pitchers in the Diamondbacks farm system, you’d be mostly correct thinking that. I am more comfortable analyzing the various aspects of a position player’s development than I am doing the […]
Diamondbacks News Diamondbacks Reach Halfway Point with Same Record as Last YearZac Gallen had another terrible first inning. There’s no getting around that fact. But then, Gallen found his groove and looked much like the Gallen of old as he mowed down the next 15 hitters. But then, his luck ran out in the seventh […]
Introduction In the latest example of the linear passage of time, it’s already the halfway point of the baseball season as the D-Backs played their 81st game today in their loss against the Rays. This first half of the season has featured some high highs and some even lower lows. It’s also continued the mystifying […]
The Diamondbacks officially released veteran first baseman Carlos Santana, according to the MLB.com transaction log. That was expected after he was designated for assignment on Wednesday. Santana signed a $2MM free agent deal leading up to Spring Training. A switch-hitter who is better from the right side, he signed to take a short side platoon […]
Somewhere in another baseball universe, the Arizona Diamondbacks challenge a called ball, and it gets overturned as strike three. Junior Caminero walks back to the dugout, shaking his head, and Friday night’s game unfolds a little differently. That is not the universe the Tampa Bay Rays played in on Friday night. Instead of Diamondbacks catcher […]

Game Summary Impressive was the word that Steve Berthiaume kept coming back to when describing Zac Gallen’s start tonight. Can’t say many Diamondbacks fans would agree with that assessment; the ‘Pit sure wasn’t buying it. To be fair, Zac Gallen had one of his best in-game stretches of the season, setting down 15 straight at […]
