Arizona Diamondbacks

Tommy Troy

LF

Troy had to come out of Saturday's matchup versus the Dodgers after crashing into the center field wall following a catch. The rookie said he felt a "sharp pain" in his right shoulder and indicated that he will see how he feels Sunday, presumably as an indication of his availability for the series finale. Ryan Waldschmidt (hand) is slated to return to start in center field in the contest, so Troy probably won't start even if he's feeling capable of playing.

Ryan Waldschmidt

CF

Waldschmidt was removed from Friday's matchup after being hit on his right hand by a pitch, but it appears he's dodged a serious injury. Tommy Troy started in center field Saturday but exited early with a shoulder issue, so Waldschmidt's quick return will be a boost to the Diamondbacks' lineup. Waldschmidt is slashing .254/.309/.351 with no homers, nine doubles, a triple, 11 runs, eight RBI and five stolen bases through 34 contests so far in his rookie campaign.

Zac Gallen

SP

The injury may have cropped up following Gallen's last start Tuesday against the Padres, when he took the loss after allowing four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five over six innings. The veteran right-hander is expected to go on the 15-day injured list, and he'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury and establish a recovery timeline. Mitch Bratt is expected to replace Gallen as the Diamondbacks' starter for Sunday's series finale.

Corbin Burnes

SP

Burnes has been on the injured list since June 2025 while recovering from Tommy John surgery, though his time on the shelf was extended when he suffered a teres major strain while throwing to live hitters last month. Now that he's made encouraging progress in his recovery from both injuries, he's been given the green light to restart a throwing progam. It will take him a while to ramp up after missing more than a full season, though the team hasn't yet shut the door on Burnes returning before the end of the year.

Jordan Lawlar

LF

Lawlar appears to be facing a 4-to-6-week recovery timeline after he was removed from a June 19 win over the Twins when he strained the hamstring while trying to beat out a bunt single. The 23-year-old had already been shelved for just over two months earlier this season due to a fractured wrist, so the hamstring injury represents yet another major setback on the health front. Lawlar had settled in as the Diamondbacks' everyday center field prior to getting hurt, but Tommy Troy has since stepped in as the main replacement at the position.

Michael Soroka

SP

Soroka, who landed on the 15-day injured list June 20 due to left glute discomfort, appears likely to miss more than the minimum amount of time. A clearer target date for his return from the IL should become available once he advances to facing hitters.

Ryne Nelson

SP

Nelson landed on the injured list last Friday due to a flexor strain in his right elbow, and his move to the 60-day IL will ensure that he remains out until at least mid-August. The move also creates space on the 40-man roster for Max Kepler, who returned from his 80-game suspension Thursday.

A.J. Puk

RP

Puk has yet to make his season debut for Arizona in 2026 and the wait will now be even longer after the club determined he will be shut down for another four weeks. Once the four weeks are up, the left-hander will undergo an MRI to see if his recovery has advanced at all.

Cristian Mena

RP

Mena sustained a teres major strain in his right shoulder in June of 2025, which caused him to miss the rest of that season. He opened 2026 on the 60-day IL and was cleared to resume his throwing program in mid-May. However, it appears Mena suffered another setback in his recovery, and his shoulder injury is severe enough for him to undergo a season-ending procedure. The hope for the Diamondbacks is that the surgery will have the 23-year-old fully healthy for the start of spring training in February.

Blake Walston

SP

Arizona hasn't provided any concrete information regarding where Walston currently stands in the rehab process, but he's not expected to be a realistic candidate to return from the 60-day injured list until after the All-Star break. The 24-year-old left-hander hasn't made an appearance in an official game since spring training of last year after undergoing Tommy John surgery March 26, 2025.

Justin Martinez

RP

This was Martinez's first time throwing off a mound since he underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow last July. Per Piecoro, the reliever was at 96-to-99 mph with his fastball during the bullpen session. Martinez still has several more hurdles to clear and plenty of ramp-up, and he's not expected to be ready to return to Arizona's bullpen until sometime after the All-Star break.

Andrew Saalfrank

RP

Saalfrank underwent surgery Monday to repair the left labrum in his shoulder and has already been placed on the 60-day injured list. The rehab timeline gives the lefty a chance to be ready for the start of the 2027 season, but it is not a given.
