Rotoworld Player News

Derek Law

FA Relief Pitcher #38

Diamondbacks RHP Derek Law elected free agency.

Law compiled a respectable 1.00 ERA across nine innings for Arizona from late August through mid-September. The 36-year-old journeyman reliever has made 329 career appearances since 2016. He should be able to latch on somewhere as organizational depth this offseason.
Demetrio Crisantes

AZ 2nd Baseman #89

Diamondbacks 2B prospect Demetrio Crisantes went 4-for-5 with three RBI and a stolen base in Arizona Fall League action on Friday.

All four of his hits carried exit velocities over 98 mph. That’ll work. Crisantes, the top prospect in Arizona’s system, is making up for lost time on the fall circuit after missing the first two months of this past season with a hamstring strain. He missed most of the previous year recovering from shoulder surgery. The 22-year-old showcased his impressive hitting ability by slashing .319/.413/.548 with five homers in 160 plate appearances at the Double-A level before finishing the year hitting .278/.343/.412 with three homers in 209 plate appearances at Triple-A Reno. He’s a prospect that fantasy managers need to know entering next season.
Torey Lovullo

AZ Manager

Torey Lovullo is getting a new two-year deal to stay on as Arizona’s manager, the Arizona Republic’s Nick Piecoro reports.

Some thought the Diamondbacks would move on from Lovullo if they didn’t make the postseason, but he’s staying on a new deal that will expire alongside GM Mike Hazen’s following the 2028 season. Lovullo is 750-768 in 10 years at the helm for the D-backs. His teams have reached the postseason twice, losing to the Dodgers in the NLDS in his first year in 2017 and falling to the Rangers in the World Series in 2023.
Jesús Sánchez

AZ Left Fielder #18

Diamondbacks sent OF Jesús Sánchez outright to Triple-A Reno.

Sánchez will head to free agency this offseason after a six-game stint with the Diamondbacks where he went 2-for-15 after being claimed off waivers from the Blue Jays in mid-September. The 28-year-old corner outfielder hit just .260/.318/.416 with eight homers and one steal in 299 plate appearances before Toronto decided to pull the plug. He should be able to land on his feet as a strong-side platoon outfield option somewhere this offseason.
Corbin Burnes

AZ Starting Pitcher #39

Corbin Burnes says his shoulder “was simply tired from all the rehab throwing.”

Burnes was placed on the injured list at the end of the season, but claims he has suffered no new injury. The 31-year-old returned to pitch just 10 1/3 innings this season, allowing nine runs on 12 hits while striking out eight and walking four. With the Diamondbacks being in the thick of the playoff hunt, it seems that Burnes may have been rushed back a bit sooner than was ideal in order to try and help the team. Let’s hope he truly is just in need of some extra rest.
Corbin Carroll

AZ Right Fielder #7

Corbin Carroll scalded an RBI double in Sunday’s season-ending loss to the Padres.

The Diamondbacks made an incredible run during the final week to push the Phillies to the brink, but they were unable to clear the final hurdle. Carroll was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning once Arizona was officially eliminated from playoff contention following Philadelphia’s win over Tampa Bay. The 26-year-old franchise cornerstone battled a lingering back issue down the home stretch, but still managed to finish with 22 homers and 21 steals in 156 games. He’ll be an early-round selection in all fantasy leagues next spring.
Michael Soroka

AZ Starting Pitcher #34

Michael Soroka gave up three runs over 4 2/3 innings in Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Padres.

Soroka did everything he could to keep Arizona in the contest, managing to grind into the fifth inning with a playoff spot on the line. He gave up three hits, including a solo homer to Gavin Sheets, while finishing with four strikeouts and two walks. He threw 77 ;itches (49 strikes) in his final outing. He finishes a strong Diamondbacks debut in which he returned to fantasy relevance after a several-year odyssey with a strong 3.41 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 114/29 K/BB ratio across 116 innings over 22 appearances, including 21 starts.
Gabriel Moreno

AZ Catcher #14

Gabriel Moreno (hamstring) was scratched from the Diamondbacks’ starting lineup on Sunday due to lingering hamstring discomfort.

The 26-year-old backstop may still be available to pinch hit. Jordan Lawlar will start in his place, with Tim Tawa shifting to first base and Pavin Smith functioning as the Diamondbacks’ designated hitter in a must-win game against the Padres on Sunday afternoon.
Gabriel Moreno

AZ Catcher #14

Gabriel Moreno is expected to play Sunday after being lifted for a pinch-hitter Saturday because of his tender hamstring.

Moreno managed to go 1-for-3 with a walk tonight even though the injury was limiting his ability to push off his leg. He figures to DH again on Sunday.
James McCann

AZ Catcher #8

James McCann hit a two-run homer in a loss to the Padres on Saturday.

McCann briefly gave the Diamondbacks a 4-3 lead with his two-run homer off Walker Buehler, but the Padres ended up scoring the next 10 and holding on for the win. McCann has homered seven times in 52 games with a solid slash of .283/.313/.461. He’s one of the better backup backstops in the sport.
