PHOENIX -- From just about his first pitch Tuesday night, Diamondbacks right-hander Brandon Pfaadt didn’t feel good about his four-seam fastball. “In warmups it was high and arm side pretty much the whole time,” Pfaadt said. The four-seamer is a big part of Pfaadt’s arsenal, but it’s not his only

CHICAGO -- These last three days in the Windy City felt less like a series for the Arizona Diamondbacks and instead a three-part episode of “Survivor: Chicago.” Fresh off a three-game sweep of the Marlins in sunny Miami, the Diamondbacks came to Chicago and were greeted by a devastating loss

The countdown to the 2025 season is on, and there's no better place to watch all the action than on DBACKS.TV presented by Progressive.

A new week of Minor League Baseball kicked off with plenty of fireworks. Padres teenager Leo De Vries put together a historic night in the High-A Midwest League, the Royals' Jac Caglianone continued his recent tear and Giants slugger Bryce Eldridge returned with some thunder. Not to be outdone, Pirates

Every player wants to get off to a hot start. But for those debuting with new clubs, making a strong first impression feels a little more important. That holds true for everyone -- from megastars who secured record-breaking contracts to non-roster invitees just hoping to stick around in the Majors.

Sunday's action was highlighted by some big performances from top prospects, and some stellar showings on the mound from some unheralded arms. In short, the last day of the holiday weekend had a little bit of everything in the Minor Leagues. Here are the performances that stood out the most:

This page will be updated throughout the year with all the latest D-backs injury news and transactions.

CHICAGO -- The Diamondbacks made a flurry of roster moves Saturday with the most notable being the placement of left-hander A.J. Puk on the 15-day injured list with left elbow inflammation. In addition, Arizona optioned right-hander Bryce Jarvis and lefty Joe Mantiply to Triple-A Reno while recalling right-hander Drey Jameson

The path from top prospect to legitimate big leaguer isn’t always linear. Sure, there are plenty of examples of top prospects who immediately became MLB stars. We’re talking about the likes of Juan Soto, Paul Skenes and Bryce Harper. More often than not, though, it can take players years before

CHICAGO -- After the baseball caromed off a video board beyond Wrigley Field’s famous brick wall in right field and bounced back into the outfield, delirium took over in the stands as Kyle Tucker settled into his home run trot. The decibel level remained on the edge of deafening when

You truly never know what you’re going to see on any given day at the ballpark. That mantra was on full display at Wrigley Field on Friday afternoon in front of 39,109 fans and all of us watching at home. The Cubs entered the top of the eighth up 7-1.

MIAMI -- Pavin Smith has been on a heater at the plate lately for the D-backs. He accounted for one-third of the team’s runs in its sweep-clinching 6-4 victory over the Marlins on Thursday afternoon at loanDepot park, hitting his second home run of the series in the first inning

A little over a month ago, we polled a panel of MLB.com experts about the best hitters in baseball headed into the 2025 season. Now, though? We have actual 2025 results in the mix. That’s not to say that roughly three weeks' worth of games is going to completely change

There was power in bunches around the Minors on Thursday, including one of baseball's best homering twice to steal the spotlight from a no-hitter. But collectively, some of the best young pitchers in the game decided it was their time to shine. A heavenly performance in Triple-A, a 12-strikeout masterpiece

MIAMI -- Josh Naylor hoisted a finger into the air as he rounded first base following a second-inning homer Wednesday night at loanDepot park. The home run -- Naylor’s second in as many games -- bounced off Marlins center fielder Derek Hill’s glove on its way over the wall, and

Make no bones about it, cracking the Major Leagues on Opening Day is a big deal. But sometimes we get so wrapped up in that initial roster that we lose sight of the fact that early-season callups can be just as effective whenever they occur. We’ve already seen notable prospects

A number of Top 100 prospects proved worthy of their rankings, but a player in the Single-A Florida State League took a good portion of Tuesday's spotlight. Along with his milestone, there were a handful of four-hit games and an array of homers, RBIs and top plays that highlighted the

MIAMI -- The “Answer-backs” didn’t need to do any answering Tuesday night at loanDepot park. In fact, it was Arizona which was making house calls all night, phoning home three times on homers in its 10-4 win over Miami. And none was bigger than Corbin Carroll's second-deck grand slam to

PHOENIX -- Josh Naylor knew it was coming, so he started getting settled into the batter’s box even before Randal Grichuk left it to take his free pass. With left-hander Bryan Hudson on the mound and Grichuk -- who beats up lefties -- at the plate with first base open,

Here’s where we are with the state of pitching in 2025: Let’s bring up a pitcher who throws two different fastballs that both have 100 mph velocity but with slightly different movement patterns. But we're mostly going to ignore those heaters, because neither is the pitch that makes him stand
