Confirmed for season debut Tuesday Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo confirmed Monday that Burnes (elbow/shoulder) will return from the 60-day injured list to start Tuesday's game versus the Royals, Alex D'Agostino...

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.

Throws two perfect innings Burnes (elbow) retired all six batters faced over two scoreless innings for Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

Impact Burnes needed just 17 pitches (10 strikes) to dispatch the minor-leaguers he faced in his first rehab start. A report prior to Saturday indicated the team would evaluate Burnes after the start for a potential return to the majors. He's nowhere near the buildup required to handle the workload of a traditional starter, but the team could make it work with the expanded September roster.

Rehab assignment begins Saturday Burnes (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Reno on Saturday, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

Impact Burnes is expected to throw two innings and 35 pitches for the Aces. If all goes well, manager Torey Lovullo will make a decision as to whether the right-hander should rejoin the Diamondbacks for his season debut. Given where his workload is at, Burnes would only be able to give Arizona three innings (45 pitches), but with an extra roster spot in September, the team would have bullpen coverage.
