Corbin Burnes is on track to return to the mound in early September, a major upgrade from his previous projected timeline, as he pushes through a shoulder injury that sidelined him during Tommy John rehab. Manager Torey Lovullo confirmed Burnes is eager to rejoin the team’s playoff push, currently throwing at 90 feet and progressing to flat-ground sessions. While Burnes is aggressive in his recovery, the medical staff is steering the pace to protect his health — and the Diamondbacks are thrilled, as their rotation is dangerously thin without Burnes, Soroka, Nelson, and Gallen. His return could be the critical boost they need to finish strong.
