D-backs Pitching Crisis Deepens | Phoenix News

The Diamondbacks’ starting pitching is in crisis as they lean on just three active arms—Rodriguez, Pfaadt, and Kelly—with rookie Jose Cabrera set to make his latest MLB start. Though Cabrera showed promise with a five-inning shutout debut, he’s since struggled, surrendering 11 runs in his next 12⅔ innings and getting sent down to Triple-A. His 5.60 ERA reflects a small sample size, but command issues persist—even at the minor league level. With limited depth (Bratt and Kohl Drake are the main options), the bullpen will be crucial, especially as Lovullo hints at possible roster moves for Saturday’s doubleheader. The team’s rotation woes are far from solved—and could get more complicated fast. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
