Arizona Diamondbacks’ Corbin Carroll sets club triples mark as losing skid ends
“No one gets around the bases faster,” Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. “He’s running 30 feet per second, cutting off edges, doing everything you’re supposed to do fundamentally to get to third base. He’s slugging the baseball. A ball in the gap is not a double. He’s thinking three.
Carroll has 27 home runs to go with his 16 triples, making him just the 13th player to reach those marks and just the second
since 1965. And he has another 35 games left to play. https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/mlb/diamondbacks/2025/08/19/arizona-diamondbacks-vs-cleveland-guardians-updates-news-matchups/85566613007/
Diamondbacks Come Back Again For Thrilling Extra-Inning Walk-Off
“This was such a massive win for us,” manager Torey Lovullo said postgame. “We’ve been dealing with a lot, a lot of emotional wear and tear. … To win the last two games, especially the way we did, was an awesome moment. To watch everybody celebrate and have a good moment, which they deserve, was fantastic.” https://www.si.com/mlb/diamondbacks/arizona-diamondbacks-game-day/diamondbacks-come-back-again-thrilling-extra-inning-walk-off

Diamondbacks Make Surprise Coaching Change
He’s out: Diamondbacks remove 3rd-base coach from his role after a win in extras
“We asked him to take on a lot,” Lovullo said. “He had never coached third base before at this level and probably hadn’t done it in quite some time. We were going to give him a little bit of a runway, but it had just gotten to the point where I needed to make this decision. It was very difficult.” https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/mlb/diamondbacks/2025/08/20/diamondbacks-vs-cleveland-guardians-updates/85566615007/

One potential prospect callup for each team
D-backs: Jordan Lawlar, INF (No. 1/MLB No. 23)
Lawlar returned to the Triple-A Reno lineup on Aug. 14 after missing almost two months with a hamstring strain, and he had hits in each of his first four games back as he tries to squeeze in an MLB return before the year is out. Three of those four starts came at third base, and that’s where Arizona has the clearest opening following Eugenio Suárez’s move to Seattle. Lawlar — a plus-plus runner with an impressive glove on the dirt — will have to improve his offensive work against breaking stuff whenever he does get back to the bigs. https://www.mlb.com/orioles/news/one-potential-prospect-callup-for-each-team-2025?t=mlb-pipeline-coverage#nlwest
