## Resource

The Diamondbacks are juggling their roster after Kade Strowd’s “dead arm” exit, recalling Drey Jameson while making room for Taylor Clarke’s return. But the real story? A wild trend: position players pitching. From Shohei Ohtani to Brooks Kieschnick, teams have turned outfielders and infielders into bullpen arms — and the D-backs are no exception, with five position players already on the mound this season. With the Tigers and Dodgers also dipping into their batting lineup for innings, this could be more than a quirky stat — it’s a sign of creative roster management in a long, grueling season.
