In addition to those arms, the D-backs are expected to use young left-hander Philip Abner and righty Bryce Jarvis. There is a chance of other arms getting into the game, as well, though they will likely be minor-leaguers.<\/p>\n

Sewald, of course, was once Arizona’s closer. He re-signed with his former team on a $1.5 million deal this offseason. His tenure with the D-backs ended on a down note, and he was beset by injury as a member of the Guardians and Tigers during 2025, but he feels healthy and is coming into camp without any expectations regarding his role. <\/p>\n
Loaisiga is on a minor league contract, but has plenty of major league experience, including some excellent seasons with the New York Yankees. Health has derailed him in recent years, but he boasts a career 3.54 ERA and has excellent stuff. He may be a sleeper option to close some games<\/a> in 2026.<\/p>\n Garcia was the primary return of the Josh Naylor trade with the Mariners. Though his ERA was an ugly 5.84 in a small sample size (backed by a 2.49 FIP and 3.76 expected ERA), he began to show signs of improvement as the year progressed. <\/p>\n As one of the only legitimate left-handed options available to Arizona’s big-league bullpen, Garcia feels like somewhat of a lock to make the roster, though his role could very well turn into a more high-leverage one if he continues to make progress. <\/p>\n
