Summary
Corbin Burnes took a major leap forward in his Tommy John surgery recovery, facing live hitters for the first time since mid-2025, throwing 20 pitches — a key milestone on his aggressive rehab path aimed at returning around mid-July 2026. His pre-injury ERA of 2.66 and 63 strikeouts highlight his potential impact, especially as the Diamondbacks navigate a pitching staff depleted by injuries. Meanwhile, outfielder Jordan Lawlar and first baseman Pavin Smith are also nearing returns, signaling a promising turnaround for the team’s injured list.
