D-backs start crucial stretch before Trade Deadline with 15-run outburst
Closer Justin Martinez should be back from Tommy John surgery not long after the Aug. 3 Deadline, while starters Corbin Burnes and Ryne Nelson could be back in September.
On the position player side of things, outfielders Tommy Troy, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Jordan Lawlar could also all be back in August.
That’s eight players and a lot of depth.
“Doesn’t seem like there’s a huge swath of them that’ll be coming back right
at the Deadline,” Hazen said. “So there may be some bridging to get from that period at the Deadline to when some of them come back. I still contend this team could look much different going through August and September when everybody gets back, regardless of what we do at the Deadline.”

“I feel like we needed a win like that,” third baseman Nolan Arenado told Arizona Sports. “I feel like every game we played in lately, it’s been tight and a lot of stressful innings. For us to come out today, day game after a long game yesterday, and put up runs like that against a great arm, it was a great win.” https://arizonasports.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/15-runs-secure-series-win-athletics
