    • Diamondbacks’ Merrill Kelly: Struggles with command again

      Kelly (1-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Brewers, allowing five runs on six hits and five walks while striking out one over five innings.

      Kelly came into Tuesday looking to bounce back from a disaster outing in his last start, when he allowed eight runs in 4.1 innings against the White Sox, but his command issues continued to cause him trouble. The right-hander threw just 58 of his 104 pitches for strikes and issued five walks, creating constant traffic on the bases. Those free passes proved costly, as two of Kelly’s walks came around to score in the fourth inning on a Joey Ortiz single. Through three starts, Kelly now holds a 9.20 ERA, 2.25 WHIP and 9:12 K:BB across 14.2 innings and with a tough matchup against the Cubs looming, it may be difficult for him to turn things around immediately.

    • Diamondbacks’ Adrian Del Castillo: Ready to go Tuesday

      Del Castillo (finger) is batting fifth as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Brewers.

      The 26-year-old departed Sunday’s contest due to a left ring finger dislocation, but he won’t miss a start following Arizona’s team day off Monday. Del Castillo will get another day off from catching since James McCann is forming a battery with Merrill Kelly on Tuesday.

    • Diamondbacks’ Geraldo Perdomo: Still sitting Tuesday

      Perdomo (ankle) is out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Brewers.

      Perdomo sustained a left ankle sprain Saturday against the Padres and is being held out of the starting nine Tuesday for a second consecutive game. Jose Fernandez is receiving another start at shortstop in his place while James McCann enters the lineup at catcher.

    • Diamondbacks’ Zac Gallen: Should make next start

      Manager Torey Lovullo said Sunday that Gallen (shoulder) was feeling better, and the club is “encouraged” the right-hander will make his next turn through the rotation, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

      Gallen was removed from his start against the Padres on Saturday after being hit by a comebacker on his throwing shoulder, ending his day after three scoreless frames. The 30-year-old was diagnosed with a contusion, and it appears he’ll be able to take the mound for his next turn through the rotation this weekend against the Cubs. Gallen’s status should receive more clarity in the next day or two, which is when he would typically throw his between-starts bullpen session.

  • Suns Recap and News

    • Suns’ Ryan Dunn: Fails to take step forward

      Dunn amassed zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in one minute during Monday’s 131-122 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Despite opening the year in a starting role, the second-year forward was unable to hold down a spot in the Phoenix first unit this year. Dunn averaged 5.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 19.4 minutes per game over 70 appearances (16 starts) during the regular season.

    • Suns’ Amir Coffey: Finishes season in muted role

      Coffey provided no counting stats in one minute during Monday’s 131-122 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Coffey, an impending unrestricted free agent, failed to make much of an impact with Phoenix following a trade from the Bucks at the February deadline. Over 16 regular-season games for the Suns, Coffey averaged 4.8 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 14.1 minutes per tilt.

    • Suns’ Jamaree Bouyea: Plays limited role in 2025-26

      Bouyea recorded two points (1-1 FG) in one minute during Monday’s 131-122 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      After opening the year under a two-way pact, Bouyea later signed a one-year contract with the Suns in March. The deal includes a $2.58 million team option for 2026-27, which Phoenix could pick up this offseason in order to fortify its backcourt depth. Bouyea averaged 5.7 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 14.0 minutes per contest through 46 games during the regular season.

    • Suns’ Khaman Maluach: Subdued finish to rookie year

      Maluach chipped in two points (1-1 FG) and two rebounds across five minutes during Monday’s 131-122 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      The rookie first-rounder struggled to earn consistent playing time in 2025-26, finishing with averages of 3.0 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 8.9 minutes per tilt across 46 regular-season games. Barring the Suns losing Mark Williams (foot) in restricted free agency, Maluach might have a hard time cracking Phoenix’s Opening Night rotation in 2026-27 with Oso Ighodaro also in the picture.

    • Suns’ Rasheer Fleming: Quiet rookie campaign

      Fleming finished with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, one block and two steals over nine minutes during Monday’s 131-122 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      The 2025 second-rounder made a lone start during his rookie campaign, closing with averages of 4.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.4 steals in 12.2 minutes per tilt through 55 regular-season games. If the Suns are unable to retain Collin Gillespie this summer, Fleming would have an opportunity to claim a more prominent role in 2026-27.

  • Sal Frelick ends Brewers’ home-run drought in 13-2 blowout of Diamondbacks AP

    AP

    MILWAUKEE (AP) Sal Frelick hit a solo shot to end Milwaukee’s stretch of seven straight games without a homer and Tyler Black went 3 for 5 with three RBIs as the Milwaukee Brewers trounced the Arizona Diamondbacks 13-2 on Tuesday night.

    Milwaukee broke the game open by scoring eight runs in the sixth off reliever Andrew Hoffmann, whose earned run average rose from 2.38 to 8.49.

    Arizona’s Ildemaro Vargas singled in the eighth inning and has hit safely in all 21 games he has played this season. Vargas actually has a 24-game hitting streak if his last three games from 2025 are included.

    Vargas has matched the third-longest, single-season hitting streak in Diamondbacks history. The record belongs to Luis Gonzalez, who had a 30-game hitting streak in 1999.

    Frelick put the Brewers ahead for good when he led off the second inning by sending a 1-2 pitch from Merrill Kelly (1-2) over the wall in right-center field. Frelick’s 396-foot drive was Milwaukee’s first homer since Turang hit a two-run shot off Miami’s Sandy Alcantara on April 18.

    This represented Milwaukee’s longest such drought since August 1999, when the Brewers went a franchise-record 13 straight games without homering. According to Sportradar, the Chicago White Sox also went seven straight games without a homer from April 5-11 of this year.

    Milwaukee extended the lead to 3-0 in the fourth on a two-out single from Joey Ortiz.

    Arizona cut the margin to 3-2 in the fifth as James McCann singled home two runs after Chad Patrick (2-1) walked the bases loaded. That was the only hit Patrick allowed in five innings, though he also walked five.

    Milwaukee answered with two runs in the bottom of the fifth.

    The game got out of hand in the sixth as Milwaukee’s first eight batters reached on seven singles and a walk. Contreras and Jake Bauers each singled home two runs in that inning. Hamilton had a two-run double.

    Jake Woodford worked the last three innings to earn his first save.

    Eduardo Rodríguez (2-0, 2.89 ERA) pitches for Arizona and Brandon Sproat (0-1, 6.45) starts for Milwaukee when the three-game series continues Wednesday night.

  • Dbacks recap and notes

    • Diamondbacks’ Kevin Ginkel: Rocky appearance

      Ginkel pitched one inning allowing a solo home run in a 12-7 win over San Diego on Sunday.

      Ginkel entered the game in the sixth inning and gave up a home run to Luis Campusano which gave the Padres a 7-1 lead at the time. The right-hander was able to limit the damage at just one before Arizona scored 11 unanswered runs. The 32-year-old had previously gone seven of his last eight appearances not allowing an earned run. This was Ginkel’s first home run allowed through 12 outings to date.

    • Diamondbacks’ Jesus Valdez: Optioned to Triple-A

      The Diamondbacks optioned Valdez to Triple-A Reno on Monday.

      Valdez served as the 27th man during the Mexico City Series versus the Padres over the weekend, but he did not make an appearance. The 28-year-old has hit only .211/.375/.263 in limited time between Double-A Amarillo and Reno in 2026.

    • Diamondbacks’ Nolan Arenado: Multiple hits Sunday

      Arenado went 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored in Sunday’s 12-7 win over the Padres.

      Arenado extended a hit streak to five games and recorded his seventh multi-hit game over the last 11 contests. He’s gone 17-for-41 (.415) during that stretch with four home runs, 11 RBI and 10 runs scored. The 35-year-old third baseman has turned around a season that started with a .167 average and two RBI over the first 13 games.

    • Diamondbacks’ Gabriel Moreno: Return date updated

      Moreno (oblique) is expected to rejoin the Diamondbacks during the series against the Cubs that begins Friday, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

      The most recent news had Moreno returning Tuesday for the series against the Brewers, but it’s been pushed back until at least Friday. The Diamondbacks are getting by with backups behind the plate, but Adrian Del Castillo (finger) is day-to-day after being removed from Sunday’s game. James McCann and Aramis Garcia are still on the 26-man roster to carry the catching load until Moreno and/or Del Castillo are ready.

  • Theodore’s overtime goal lifts Golden Knights to 5-4 win over Mammoth; series tied 2-all

    AP

    SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Shea Theodore scored on a snap shot from the high slot with 51.5 seconds left in overtime and the Vegas Golden Knights beat the Utah Mammoth 5-4 on Monday night after squandering a three-goal lead, tying their first-round playoff series at two games apiece.

    “We just didn’t quit,” Theodore said.

    Game 5 in the best-of-seven series is Wednesday night in Las Vegas.

    The Golden Knights appeared to have won the game earlier in OT when Pavel Dorofeyev tapped in a loose puck with 9:41 left, but the apparent score was waved off when it was determined Vegas was offside.

    “It was good we never stopped,” Theodore said. “It sucks that one got called back, but it was good to get it done.”

    Vegas’ Brett Howden scored his second goal of the game on a tip-in with 9:35 remaining in the third period, and that forced overtime after Utah had stormed back with four straight goals.

    “I liked the way we responded in the third after they scored,” Howden said. “We stuck with it.”

    The Golden Knights raced out to a 3-0 lead with two goals in the first and one early in the second by Dorofeyev, Howden and Cole Smith.

    Utah countered with four straight scores, capped by Clayton Keller’s wrist shot off a deflection for a 4-3 lead at the 5:10 mark of the third period.

    “I’m proud of the way our guys responded to adversity,” Utah coach Andre Tourigny said. “It was a hard-fought game. We know how good they can be and I think we responded well in the second half of the game.”

    Utah’s Karel Vejmelka stopped 31 shots. Carter Hart made 29 saves for Vegas.

    Facing a three-goal deficit, Utah’s Nick Schmaltz and Ian Cole scored 29 seconds apart in the second period to set the Mammoth’s comeback in motion. Schmaltz got Utah on the board at the 8:04 mark, and Cole followed with a 50-foot slap shot at 8:33 of the second.

    Michael Carcone tied it on another slap shot at 1:44 of the third.

    Dorofeyev flicked home a wrist shot to put the Golden Knights in front just 72 seconds into the first. Howden then threaded another wrist shot past Vejmelka’s skate for a short-handed goal with 1:22 left in the period.

    Smith’s tip-in at 3:27 of the second gave the Golden Knights their third goal.

    “We started really well, lost ourselves for a bit,” Vegas coach John Tortorella said. “Momentum swung to their side, but we hung in there.”

    Utah fell behind early after struggling to create scoring chances during the first period. The Mammoth tallied three shots on goal over the first 20 minutes. Only one came outside of a power play.

    Vegas allowed 30 shots on goal over the final two regulation periods and overtime.

    LOSS
    I like the Under in Game 4 if you can get a six. That’s the key number because eight straight meetings between Utah and Vegas have produced six goals or less. Mammoth goaltender Karel Vejmelka has stepped up his game in the postseason with a 2.36 goals against average and .916 save percentage. Meanwhile, Vegas’ Carter Hart allowed four goals on just 12 shots in Game 3. However, before that poor outing, Hart went 7-1 with a .932 save percentage. I expect Hart to play better on Monday, so I’ll go under six goals for a half unit.

    LOSS
    A little surprised the Mammoth are home dogs considering they have won the past two in the series. Knights goalie Carter Hart has gotten worse as the series has gone along while Mammoth counterpart Karel Vejmelka has gotten better. Utah’s depth has been a difference as 12 different players have contributed at least a point. Four guys have two goals already, while six players have contributed at least two points.
