Diamondbacks pitcher Corbin Burnes was dealing on Sunday against the Nationals until he had to come out of the game with the athletic trainer.

The Arizona Diamondbacks lost to the Washington Nationals 11-7 on May 31 and lost their fourth straight game and ninth in their last 10.

Burnes' trademark cutter has looked much more like the pitch he is known for, and the right-hander appears both confident and in control on the mound of late. The D-backs could use another lengthy start against a free-swinging Pirates team that has struggled offensively.

The Diamondbacks are going to slightly rearrange their starting rotation, moving Corbin Burnes up to Sunday against the Nationals.

One name he mentioned was All-Star pitcher Zac Gallen, who would easily be the most coveted name on the market if the D'backs make him available. Gallen, who finished third in the Cy Young vote in 2023, signed a one-year, $13.5 million deal with the Diamondbacks prior to 2025.

Diamondbacks starter Corbin Burnes turned in another strong outing in his most recent start, allowing three runs in seven innings against the Dodgers.

The Diamondbacks won Game 1 in shutout fashion, 5-0, yesterday as the Pirates batters totaled six hits by four different players. Arizona had 10 hits and two homers behind 6.2 innings from Ryne Nelson. Both teams are 5-5 in their last 10 games.
