Corbin Burnes - Aiming for July return Burnes (elbow) said Monday that he's hoping to be ready to rejoin the Diamondbacks' rotation sometime in July next season, Jack Janes of Cronkite News reports.

Impact Burnes underwent Tommy John surgery in June, so a season debut next July, while optimistic, is possible. The pace of Burnes' rehab will ultimately be dictated by the team, and it's unclear whether the Diamondbacks have the same midseason goal as the pitcher. Burnes finished the 2025 season with a 2.66 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 63:26 K:BB across 64.1 innings.

Joe Elbis - No appearances in 2025 Elbis didn't make any appearances in the majors or minors during the 2025 season after the Diamondbacks placed him on the restricted list April 15.

Impact After the Diamondbacks added Elbis to their 40-man roster last offseason, he was optioned to Double-A Amarillo early in spring training. The 23-year-old righty then opened the Texas League season on Amarillo's 7-day injured list before eventually reverting to the Diamondbacks' restricted list a few weeks later. Arizona hasn't shed any light on why Elbis didn't end up pitching at all this season, and the Diamondbacks will eventually need to add him back to the 40-man roster or designate him for assignment once he's formally reinstated.

Ketel Marte - Pops homer Sunday Marte went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 12-4 loss to the Padres.

Impact Marte led off the game with a solo shot on JP Sears' sixth pitch, but the Padres had taken control by the end of the first inning. Over his last 10 games, Marte went 15-for-43 (.349) with three homers and seven RBI to enjoy a strong finish to the season. He ended up with a .283/.376/.517 slash line, 28 homers, 72 RBI, 87 runs scored, four stolen bases and 28 doubles across 126 contests overall.

Impact Pfaadt's season finale was a microcosm of his season -- strong control, a few mistakes and a hearty dose of bad luck. He allowed four or more runs in four of his last seven starts of the season, winning just one of those games. Overall, he ended the year at a 5.25 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 147:37 K:BB across 176.2 innings across 33 starts.
