April 24, 2024

ST. LOUIS -- On Monday night, D-backs manager Torey Lovullo lamented the missed opportunities his team's offense had in a tough loss. Primarily, the lack of a big hit allowed the Cardinals to stick around for a late comeback. On Tuesday, the D-backs bats provided an early -- and decisive

April 23, 2024

ST. LOUIS -- As expected, the D-backs placed Merrill Kelly on the injured list Tuesday with a right shoulder strain. Kelly was scratched from Sunday's start at San Francisco and flew back to Phoenix for an MRI on Monday. The 35-year-old right-hander said he felt the shoulder grab while playing
