Diamondbacks have rarely faced this many season-ending injuries

Arizona Diamondbacks

The Arizona Diamondbacks don’t want to use injuries as an excuse, but the scope has been impossible to ignore. Manager Torey Lovullo broke the news on Friday that reliever A.J. Puk underwent season-ending elbow surgery, while catcher Gabriel Moreno’s imaging revealed a fractured pointer finger on his throwing hand. In the minor leagues, catcher Adrian Del Castillo went down with lower back discomfort, while left-handed pitcher Tommy Henry will also need Tommy John surgery. The Diamondbacks now have six players on the 40-man roster who are out with Tommy John surgeries or revisions: Puk, Henry, Justin Martinez, Corbin Burnes, Jordan Montgomery and Blake Walston.
