Diamondbacks Rally as Key Players Return | MLB News

About this episode

The Diamondbacks are rallying just in time as they claw back toward the wild card, activating Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Blake Walston from the injured list—Gurriel recovering from a strained abductor, Walston returning from Tommy John surgery—while Ryan Thompson’s season ends on the 60-day IL after a solid but inconsistent campaign. With the team half a game out of playoff contention, these moves could be the spark they need to ignite a postseason push.

On September 1st, the Diamondbacks are making some moves as the season winds down. They've activated outfielder, lords, guerrilla, jr. and pitcher Blake Walston from the injured list. Guerrilla has been dealing with a few things this year. Most recently, a strained of doctor, and Walston is coming back from Tommy John's surgery. On the flip side, pitcher Ryan Thompson has been moved to the 60-day injured list. This pretty much means his season is done. Thompson's been a solid piece of the bullpen since 2023, and he's set to hit free agency next year. This season, Thompson pitched in 46 games with a 4-in-2 record and an earned run average of 4-4-3. While his numbers weren't as sharp as in past years, he was still a reliable option for the team when they needed him. With Guerrilla and Walston back in the mix, the Diamondbacks are hoping to get a boost as they push for a playoff spot. They're currently half a game out of the last wild car position after a tough loss earlier this week. So, the team is getting some reinforcements back just in time for a crucial stretch.

They'll need everyone ready to go if they want to make a run at the postseason and keep their October hopes alive. From around the league, powered by AI, this is MLB News Today. I'm Corey with The Story.
