Diamondbacks Place Corbin Burnes on IL, Threatening Wild Card Push

The Arizona Diamondbacks placed ace pitcher Corbin Burnes on the 15-day injured list with shoulder inflammation, retroactive to September 22. This move jeopardizes their final push for a Wild Card spot against the San Diego Padres. Burnes, who returned from Tommy John surgery in early September, struggled with declining velocity and a high ERA in his three starts. The team recalled Jose Cabrera from Triple-A and is considering Ryne Nelson or Zac Gallen for Saturday's start. Arizona holds the tiebreaker over the Philadelphia Phillies but must win all three remaining games to secure a playoff berth.
