Corbin Burnes exited the Diamondbacks’ 3-1 victory over the Nationals due to right elbow discomfort, having pitched 4 2/3 shutout innings before feeling tightness. Manager Torey Lovullo announced that Burnes will undergo an MRI and will not participate in the upcoming road trip, suggesting a potential 15-day injured list placement, marking his first arm-related IL stint. Despite some concerning metrics, Burnes has maintained a solid 2.66 ERA this season, but losing him could significantly impact the Diamondbacks’ chances of climbing the standings.
