Phillies Collapse in NL Wild Card Race as Diamondbacks Seize Momentum

The Philadelphia Phillies lost their third consecutive game to the Tampa Bay Rays, 2-0, on Friday, September 25, 2026. This defeat keeps the Arizona Diamondbacks alive in the National League Wild Card race, with the D-backs now just one game behind the Phillies. The Phillies' offense has stalled, scoring only two runs in 27 innings over their last three games, while the Rays' Freddy Peralta delivered a dominant performance. The Diamondbacks have an opportunity to close the gap further with a win against the San Diego Padres. The Phillies' path to the postseason now hinges on their final two games and the performance of the Diamondbacks, with severe weather potentially complicating the schedule.

Burnes Back, Diamondbacks Ramp Up for Wild-Card Push

Arizona activated Corbin Burnes from the 60-day IL and slated him to start tonight vs. the Kansas City Royals, returning after elbow surgery that sidelined him since June 2025; he’s been ramping up with a Reno rehab start and a recent minor-league scrimmage, providing a needed boost in a tight NL Wild Card race as Ryne Nelson is done for the season and Gallen/Soroka are progressing.

D-backs Activate Burnes, Set Tuesday Start

Arizona plans to activate Corbin Burnes from the injured list for a Tuesday start after his rehab from Tommy John surgery and a teres major strain. A possible Monday bullpen game vs. the Royals could precede his return, with Burnes slated to throw about 60 pitches. The 31-year-old signed a six-year, $210 million deal and posted a 2.66 ERA over 11 starts before his injury; his return bolsters a rotation that the Diamondbacks hope can help capture a wild-card spot, potentially yielding up to four starts before season’s end as they build toward the playoffs. The club opened a 40-man spot for Burnes.

Luzardo vs Rodriguez Sparks Low-Scoring Phillies-Diamondbacks Clash

In a Chase Field tilt, Philadelphia’s Jesus Luzardo faces Arizona’s Eduardo Rodríguez as Philly seeks a second straight win. The matchup is expected to stay low-scoring with Luzardo carrying strong recent numbers (2.30 xERA over his last 14 starts) and Philly’s bullpen advantages. The play favors the Phillies (short road favorites) and the Under 7.5 runs, with Alec Bohm as a value homer prop in a roof-closed game.

Vitello says foul-ball dispute, not ego, sparked Giants ejection vs. D-backs

Giants manager Tony Vitello explained his ejection during Friday’s 10-6 loss to the Diamondbacks came from arguing a third‑inning fair-ball call on Nolan Arenado’s chopper, which he insists was foul; he described the umpire’s tone as turning the moment personal, noted the dugout atmosphere and that pitching coach Justin Meccage stepped out instead of him, and urged better mental preparation as San Francisco fights through a tough stretch.

Nootbaar Leads D-backs to Offensive Outburst in San Francisco

Lars Nootbaar kicked off Arizona’s 10-6 win in San Francisco with a leadoff homer off blade Tidwell, part of a multi-run surge that included a five-run third and a three-run sixth. Nootbaar, the D-backs’ lone trade-deadline acquisition and coming off a rough stretch, finished with several hard-hit balls as Arizona’s offense woke up. The win narrows the NL Wild Card race, placing the D-backs within a half-game of the Padres, with a doubleheader on tap the next day.

Ketel Marte’s Absence Deepens as Personal Loss Is Revealed

The Athletic’s reporting links Ketel Marte’s mysterious no-show and ongoing absence from the Diamondbacks to personal grief beyond a knee issue: Marte was placed on the 10-day IL after missing a game, was later seen near the team’s Salt River Fields complex, and Ken Rosenthal reports he’s coping with the loss of a close family member (his maternal grandmother in 2025 and his mother in 2017). Marte has apologized, manager Torey Lovullo says he retreats when frustrated, and the piece argues fans and the team should show compassion as Arizona navigates a pivotal stretch with Marte’s massive extension in mind.

Ketel Marte missed a game amid a knee issue and was later seen at a casino, prompting Diamondbacks president Derrick Hall to say Marte has “a lot to do” and “explaining to do” to his teammates after his radio-silent absence.
