Overview
- Ryne Nelson was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right forearm flexor tendon strain after a start earlier this week, and a radio report that he has a partially torn flexor tendon remains unconfirmed.
- Michael Soroka exited a start on Friday and was placed on the 15-day injured list on Saturday with a strained left glute after an MRI; the team expects him to be sidelined about four weeks.
- Jordan Lawlar left the same game with a strained right hamstring, underwent an MRI, and was placed on the injured list with a similar four-week outlook.
- Arizona recalled Yilber Diaz to add a bullpen arm and promoted Philip Abner and Tim Tawa from Triple-A Reno to fill roster spots created by the moves.
- With Corbin Burnes already facing a rehab setback, the club is short on starting depth and will watch Nelson's diagnosis, the workload for stretched-out options like Brandon Pfaadt, and possible trade-deadline moves as the All-Star break nears.
