The Arizona Diamondbacks are set to enhance their rotation as former Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes returns from the 60-day injured list to start against the Kansas City Royals. This marks Burnes’ first major league appearance since June 1 of last year, following Tommy John surgery. His comeback was delayed due to a strain during rehab, but after a successful two-inning rehab start, he aims for a pitch limit of 60 to 65 in his upcoming outing. Burnes, who won the NL Cy Young in 2021, signed a six-year, $210 million deal with Arizona before the 2025 season.
