Burnes' Return Pushed to September

Corbin Burnes’ comeback timeline just got derailed—after Tommy John surgery, the Diamondbacks’ ace now faces a September return at earliest due to a teres major strain. The injury forces him to restart his throwing program, hitting a major snag for a pitcher who signed a $211M deal and was poised to return around All-Star break. Despite only 11 starts last season before the injury, Burnes posted a 2.66 ERA and 63 strikeouts, and was a three-time All-Star and 2021 Cy Young winner. With Arizona currently second in the NL West, this setback could significantly impact their playoff push. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
