Arizona Diamondbacks Headlines

Zac Gallen took a significant step forward in his recovery yesterday, throwing his first live batting practice since undergoing elbow surgery. This is a huge boost for the Diamondbacks as they look to solidify their rotation for the upcoming season. Manager Torey Lovullo described the session as a "great day," emphasizing Gallen's importance to the pitching staff. His performance will be closely monitored, but the early signs are promising as he aims to reclaim his ace status after an injury-riddled 2025.

In a thrilling start to the Cactus League schedule, the Diamondbacks edged the Rockies 3-2, showcasing their depth with a two-run eighth inning comeback. Lourdes Gurriel Jr., despite still recovering from his ACL injury, was seen actively engaging with teammates on the field. His energy is infectious, and if he can contribute upon his return, it could be a game-changer for the D-backs. With this win, Arizona improves to 1-0 in the spring standings, a welcome shift from last season’s struggles.

Looking ahead, all eyes will be on Druw Jones as he prepares for the World Baseball Classic. His participation could elevate his profile significantly, and it’ll be interesting to see how his performance impacts his development and potential role with Arizona moving forward. The D-backs' momentum from yesterday's game, paired with Gallen’s comeback, sets a positive tone as they continue to build toward the regular season.

How would you change franchise history?
I tend to the view of time as a river. If you could go back and change stuff, it would probably cause a few local ripples, but it tend to smooth itself out fairly quickly, rather than the whole “butterfly effect” thing documented in classic SF story A Sound of Thunder. However, there are, perhaps, […]
