Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Merrill Kelly is experiencing back discomfort and is unlikely to be ready for Opening Day, although tests show no major issues. While he played catch recently, pain persists, raising the possibility of an injured list stint. If sidelined, the rotation will consist of Zac Gallen, Ryne Nelson, Eduardo Rodriguez, Brandon Pfaadt, and Michael Soroka. The team has improved depth, with prospects Kohl Drake and Mitch Bratt potentially debuting this season.
