Colorado Rockies pitcher Kyle Freeland suffered a dislocated right shoulder while attempting a diving play, and an MRI will determine the extent of the damage. Freeland is expected to be placed on the injured list after the All-Star break. Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Drey Jameson is seeking second opinions on his elbow injury, with a potential Tommy John surgery looming. The Diamondbacks' selection of Corbin Carroll in the 2019 draft is paying off, despite concerns about his size and power. The Los Angeles Dodgers have long been interested in Shohei Ohtani, and there is speculation that they may sign him in free agency this winter.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have selected left-hander Tyler Gilbert from Triple-A Reno and moved right-hander Drey Jameson to the 60-day injured list. Gilbert, known for his no-hitter in 2021, has struggled this season with a 5.67 ERA in Triple-A. Jameson's move to the IL comes after being placed on the 15-day IL due to elbow inflammation. The Diamondbacks will need to find alternatives to make up for Jameson's absence on the pitching staff.
Drey Jameson threw 3 2/3 scoreless innings in relief, helping the Diamondbacks to a 7-5 win over the Colorado Rockies. Pavin Smith hit a three-run homer to cap a five-run second inning. Jameson, who was sent down to Triple-A last month, rediscovered his slider and used it aggressively, throwing it on 28 of 59 pitches and eliciting whiffs on 11 of the 18 swings against it. The win was the Diamondbacks’ second in as many days and improved their record to 31-23.
The Milwaukee Brewers and Arizona Diamondbacks will wrap up their three-game series on Wednesday, with the Brewers looking to even the series after a 3-0 loss in game one. The Brewers will send Brandon Woodruff to the mound, who has an ERA of 0.79 in two starts this season. The Diamondbacks will counter with Drey Jameson, who is making a spot start and has two wins and a save in three appearances this season. The Brewers have won seven of their last nine games and are favored to win this matchup.
Kris Bubic, a 25-year-old pitcher for the Kansas City Royals, has caught the attention of fantasy baseball players after a positive analysis from Lance Brozdowski. Meanwhile, Drey Jameson has claimed a rotation spot for the Arizona Diamondbacks, and the Los Angeles Dodgers have shown faith in James Outman and Evan Phillips. Kenta Maeda is also recommended as a top sleeper pitcher to add.
Ryne Nelson and Drey Jameson made the Arizona Diamondbacks team, with Nelson as the No. 5 starter and Jameson initially pitching out of the bullpen. Kyle Lewis earned a spot as a backup first baseman due to his impressive performance this spring. The backup catcher role and final bullpen spot are still up for grabs, with the possibility of external options being considered.
Ryne Nelson has won the No. 5 starting spot in the Arizona Diamondbacks' rotation, while Drey Jameson will move to the bullpen. Nelson will start game No. 5 against the San Diego Padres on April 3. The D-backs' rotation will now consist of Zac Gallen, Merrill Kelly, Madison Bumgarner, Zach Davies, and Ryne Nelson. Outfielder Pavin Smith and infielder Emmanuel Rivera were optioned to Triple-A Reno, while catcher P.J. Higgins and others were sent to Minor League camp.
