Jose Cabrera - Summoned from minors The Diamondbacks recalled Cabrera from Triple-A Reno on Friday.

Impact He's grabbing the roster spot vacated by the injured Corbin Burnes (shoulder). Cabrera is stretched out -- having thrown six shutout innings one week ago in his last outing with Reno -- so the Diamondbacks will likely ask him to eat some innings during Saturday's bullpen game in San Diego.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Ryne Nelson - Likely to pitch Saturday Nelson is likely to pitch Saturday in San Diego, either as a traditional starting pitcher or bulk reliever, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact He'll be filling in for the injured Corbin Burnes (shoulder). Nelson is not stretched out to handle a normal starter's workload, as he just returned in a relief role last week after missing more than three months with a right elbow strain. Because of that, it will essentially be a bullpen game for the Diamondbacks.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Corbin Burnes - Shelved by shoulder inflammation The Diamondbacks are expected to place Burnes on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Burnes showed diminished velocity in his last start versus the Yankees, serving up three home runs during a four-batter span at one point. The veteran righty had a setback in his recovery from Tommy John surgery earlier this season when he suffered a teres major strain, though there's no indication at this point that the new injury is related. It's unclear whether Burnes has a chance to pitch at some point in the postseason, should the Diamondbacks qualify. Burnes had been slated to start Saturday's game in San Diego, but that assignment could now go to Ryne Nelson.

Nolan Arenado - Three more hits, homer in win Arenado went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and an additional RBI in Thursday's 12-8 win over the Rockies.

Impact Arenado extended Arizona's lead to 6-0 with his two-run shot in the first inning, his 29th homer of the year, the most he's hit in a season since 2022. The veteran third baseman has been on fire down the stretch -- Arenado's now gone 22-for-49 (.449) with seven homers in his last 13 games. He's boosted his slash line to .254/.326/.469 across 586 plate appearances this year with 83 RBI and 77 runs scored.
