Takes loss despite quality start Pfaadt (0-1) took the loss against the Cubs on Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out five batters over six innings.

Impact Pfaadt held Chicago scoreless for three frames before giving up a run in the fourth inning. The Cubs tagged him for two more runs on a Kyle Tucker homer in the fifth, and Arizona was never able to catch up. Pfaadt was pretty efficient in completing six frames on 78 pitches, and he gave his fantasy managers a boost with a quality start despite the loss. His second start of the campaign is expected to come against Washington next week.

Impact Pfaadt's extension won't kick in until 2026, but it will buy out all three of his arbitration years and possibly his first three years of free agency if all options are exercised. The 26-year-old finished last season with a 4.71 ERA and 1.24 WHIP alongside a 185:42 K:BB in 181.2 innings (32 starts); however, his 3.60 FIP is much more indicative of how well he performed on the mound. His first start of the new year is slated to come Saturday versus the Cubs, against whom he allowed two earned runs over 14 innings with a 13:1 K:BB in two appearances last season.

Named to rotation Pfaadt will begin the season in the Diamondbacks' rotation and is scheduled to start Saturday against the Cubs, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

Impact The right-hander will slot in for Arizona's third game of the season after producing a 3.18 ERA over 11.1 innings during spring training. Pfaadt had a 4.71 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 185:42 K:BB in 32 starts for the Diamondbacks last season, though a 3.60 FIP provides a more encouraging outlook on his performance.

Strong start Sunday Pfaadt allowed two hits and struck out seven over five scoreless innings in Sunday's spring start against the Padres.

Impact Pfaadt was impressive in his fourth Cactus League start against a legit regular season San Diego batting order. After giving up a leadoff single in the first, Pfaadt set down the next 12 batters in order before a harmless leadoff single in the fifth. The right-hander threw 57 pitches (43 strikes) and left a good impression on manager Torey Lovullo, who has yet to settle on a No. 5 starter. The manager is mulling Pfaadt, Ryne Nelson and Jordan Montgomery for the final rotation spot.

Rebounds Tuesday Pfaadt allowed one run on three hits and one walk while striking out two over three innings in Tuesday's spring game against the Royals.

Impact Pfaadt didn't start the game and came on to pitching innings five through seven after Merrill Kelly and Justin Martinez got the Diamondbacks through the first four frames. This was Pfaadt's third Cactus League outing and decidedly better than his previous appearance, when he was chased after 1.1 innings. Despite working out of the bullpen Tuesday, Pfaadt remains in the mix for the final spot in the rotation, along with Ryne Nelson and Jordan Montgomery.

Rough second outing Pfaadt was unable to get out of the second inning in his second spring start Wednesday, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports. He allowed three runs on six hits and one walk while...

Impact Pfaadt elevated his pitch count to 46 but missed out on a third up-and-down. The right-hander's outing was the first in a line of starters competing for the Diamondbacks' final rotation spot. Following Pfaadt was Ryne Nelson on Thursday and Jordan Montgomery (finger) is scheduled for his spring debut Friday. Wednesday's outcome was frustrating from the perspective. If Pfaadt had a lock on a rotation spot, then it could be chalked up to a meaningless spring game in which the pitcher was able to get his work in.

Sharp in spring debut Pfaadt allowed one hit and struck out two over two scoreless innings in Thursday's spring start against the Reds.

Impact Pfaadt cruised in his Cactus League opener, setting the side down in the order in the first, including an inning-ending swinging strikeout of Elly De La Cruz. The right-hander then worked around a two-out double in the second, punching out Spencer Steer to complete his day. It was good impression to leave on manager Torey Lovullo, who faces a tough decision regarding his five-man rotation. The top four are locked in with Corbin Burnes, Zac Gallen, Merrill Kelly and Eduardo Rodriguez. That leaves Pfaadt battling Ryne Nelson and Jordan Montgomery for the final spot. A potential determinant for the manager is that both Pfaadt and Nelson still have minor-league options.
