Twins Ride Lucky Bounce to Third Straight Series Win Over Diamondbacks

The Minnesota Twins erased a 2-0 deficit in the seventh, getting two-out hits from Royce Lewis and Ryan Kreidler, then pinch-hitter Josh Bell delivered an RBI single and scored on a ball caroming off his hand to put Minnesota ahead in a pivotal moment, as four relievers shut down Arizona in a 4-2 win. The victory capped a 5-1 road trip and gave the Twins their third straight series win, with defensive plays from Kreidler, Larnach and Keaschall helping cement the win ahead of a three-game set with Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers at Target Field.

Diamondbacks Lose Soroka and Lawlar to MRIs Amid Injury Woes

Arizona Diamondbacks pitchers Michael Soroka and outfielder Jordan Lawlar were placed on the injured list after Friday’s win over the Twins, with Soroka diagnosed with a strained left glute and Lawlar with a strained right hamstring; both will undergo MRIs to determine the extent of the damage. Left-hander Philip Abner and utilityman Tim Tawa were recalled from Triple-A. Soroka exited after one inning; Lawlar left in the eighth while sprinting to first on a bunt. The injuries add to Arizona’s rotation and depth concerns, as Ryne Nelson is already on the IL and the club eyes replacements such as Mitch Bratt or Jose Cabrera.

Diamondbacks Place Gabriel Moreno on IL, Eye Short-Term Catching Shuffle

The Diamondbacks will place catcher Gabriel Moreno on the injured list with a muscular back issue after an MRI, expecting a minimum 10-day absence and optimism it won’t be long. James McCann and Adrian Del Castillo will share catching duties in Moreno’s absence, potentially in a platoon. Moreno has been Arizona’s primary catcher since the 2022 trade for Daulton Varsho, boasting strong defensive metrics and solid hitting (107 wRC+ this year in 45 PAs).

Back Troubles Cast Shadow Over D-backs Opening Day Plans

Merrill Kelly’s back discomfort has him unlikely to be ready for Opening Day, with tests ruling out a major issue but ongoing evaluation and pain during throwing. An IL stint is possible; if he misses time, Arizona would start with a rotation of Gallen, Nelson, Rodríguez, Pfaadt and Soroka. Kelly indicated openness to returning to Arizona long-term, but the immediate outlook remains uncertain.

Padres' budget woes derail Arenado pursuit as Cardinals ship him to Diamondbacks

The Cardinals traded Nolan Arenado to the Diamondbacks for salary relief and pitching prospect Jack Martinez, ending a long saga; reports say the Padres were the other major suitor but wouldn’t absorb more of Arenado’s contract, and Arizona’s deal will pay just $5 million in 2026 and $6 million in 2027, underscoring Arenado’s down-market valuation despite his name.

Arenado Finds New Home in Arizona as Cardinals Pivot with Prospect Return

After 18 months of trying to move him, Nolan Arenado was traded from the St. Louis Cardinals to the Arizona Diamondbacks for 22-year-old pitching prospect Jack Martinez. Arenado approved the deal; the Cardinals will cover most of his remaining salary, with about $31 million paid to Arizona and roughly $11 million more owed by St. Louis over two years (Colorado still paying about $5 million), leaving the Cards on the hook for roughly $26 million. Arenado, who slashed .237/.289/.377 with 12 homers in 107 games in 2025, brings elite defense and leadership to Arizona as it fills the hot corner vacancy ahead of free agency for Eugenio Suarez. Martinez posted a 5.47 ERA over 77.1 innings with 110 strikeouts, highlighting a bright but imperfect upside. Cardinals GM Chaim Bloom thanked Arenado for his contributions as the deal was completed.

Cardinals Trade Nolan Arenado to Diamondbacks to Kickstart Rebuild

Cardinals Trade Nolan Arenado to Diamondbacks to Kickstart Rebuild

The Cardinals traded Nolan Arenado and cash to the Diamondbacks for minor league right-hander Jack Martinez, with Arizona taking about $11M of Arenado’s remaining $42M over the next two years (Rockies paying $5M, Cardinals $26M). Arenado, 34, has declined offensively but remains a strong defender; the move clears payroll for STL’s rebuild and gives Arizona a veteran third baseman in a more hitter-friendly park, while the return is modest and could free up room for additional moves by both teams.

Cardinals ship Arenado to Diamondbacks, signaling a youth-first rebuild

St. Louis traded Nolan Arenado to Arizona, sending right-hander Jack Martinez and the D-backs’ eighth-round pick in return while covering $31 million of Arenado’s remaining $42 million. Arenado, who waived his no-trade clause, has two years left on his $260 million contract and will join Arizona’s infield as the Cardinals pivot to a younger core under Chaim Bloom after a roughly 15-month trade saga and amid shifting market dynamics sparked by other moves like Alex Bregman’s deal with the Cubs.
