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.

Remaining in rotation Burnes is expected to start a game during the final series of the regular season against the Padres, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

Impact Burnes was roughed up by the Yankees on Sunday, allowing four runs on five hits, including three home runs. The right-hander has allowed five home runs and four walks over 10.1 innings since being activated off the injured list. Burnes is pleased with his secondary offerings, but the velocity of his signature pitch, the cutter, is down and not creating enough separation. He's tentatively scheduled to start Saturday.

Quick hook in no-decision Burnes allowed four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two over 2.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Yankees on Sunday.

Impact Burnes served up three home runs during the third inning, prompting an early exit as the Diamondbacks can't afford to cede ground as they lag behind in the playoff race. Over his three starts so far, Burnes has surrendered nine runs across 10.1 innings with an 8:4 K:BB. He's now been tagged for five runs, and it's clear he's still got some more rust to shake off following his return from June 2025 Tommy John surgery. Burnes is tentatively projected to make his last start of the regular season at San Diego.

Allows five runs in no-decision Burnes did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing five runs on five hits and no walks over 4.2 innings against the Marlins. He struck out four.

Impact Burnes wasn't particularly effective, notably surrendering back-to-back homers in the fourth inning. It was a step back for the right-hander, as he twirled three shutout innings in his season debut last week against the Royals after completing his recovery from Tommy John surgery and a teres major strain. Burnes was built up to 75 pitches (48 strikes) in his home debut Monday. The 31-year-old's next start is tentatively scheduled for Sunday against the Yankees.

Sharp in season debut Burnes didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Royals after allowing two hits and two walks while striking out two over three scoreless innings.

Impact Burnes made his long-awaited 2026 debut after completing his recovery from Tommy John surgery and immediately delivered three scoreless frames. The right-hander threw 35 of 57 pitches for strikes and worked around traffic without allowing Kansas City to capitalize, finishing his outing by striking out Salvador Perez with a runner at second. It was Burnes' first major-league appearance in 15 months, and Arizona ultimately prevailed 5-3 in 11 innings. Burnes should make his next start next week against the Marlins.

Activated for 2026 debut The Diamondbacks reinstated Burnes (elbow) from the 60-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Impact The 31-year-old is ready to step on a big-league mound for the first time since June 1, 2025, when he suffered the elbow injury that necessitated Tommy John surgery. Burnes made just one rehab appearance in the minors but also pitched in a bridge game last week, during which he built up to 50 pitches. The right-hander seems likely to be limited to about 60 pitches in his first start back from the IL, with the Diamondbacks likely to be monitoring his workload closely down the stretch.

Impact It will be the season debut with the Diamondbacks for Burnes, whose return from Tommy John surgery was delayed when he sustained a teres major strain in June. Burnes threw 17 pitches over two scoreless innings in his lone rehab start and then appeared in a bridge game last week to get further stretched out. It's unclear how many pitches in threw in the latter game, but Burnes is likely to be quite limited from a workload perspective in Kansas City.

Could make season debut Tuesday Burnes (elbow) could make his season debut for the Diamondbacks on Tuesday in Kansas City, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Impact Burnes underwent Tommy John surgery last June and suffered a setback this June with a teres major strain, but he's progressed well since the resumption of a throwing program in July and his 2026 debut is imminent. The right-hander tossed two perfect innings on 17 pitches in his first rehab start with Triple-A Reno on Aug. 29, and he was slated to throw a bridge game Thursday to further build his stamina. It's unclear how many pitches Burnes threw Thursday, but he would be quite limited from a workload perspective versus the Royals. If/when Burnes is officially tapped to start Tuesday's game, it will be his first in the big leagues in more than 15 months.
