Diamondbacks pitcher Justin Martínez will undergo Tommy John surgery, sidelining him for the rest of 2023 and likely most of 2026, which is a significant setback for the team's bullpen and long-term plans, though it activates a team option in his contract due to his injury.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have placed right-hander Merrill Kelly on the 15-day injured list due to right calf inflammation, retroactive to June 25, and optioned left-hander Joe Mantiply to Triple-A Reno. In corresponding moves, righties Kevin Ginkel and Justin Martinez were recalled from Reno. Kelly's injury is a notable loss for the club, which has a fairly top-heavy rotation. Martinez, 21, will be making his major league debut as soon as he gets into a game.
