SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a> ace Corbin Burnes<\/a> said he hopes to return to game action around the All-Star break, which would be a little more than a year following an elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery.<\/p>\n

The veteran right-hander talked on Tuesday before the team’s first spring training workout.<\/p>\n

“I think we’re still good for mid-July,” Burnes told reporters. “I’m going to try to make it sooner. Every day I’m in here, I try to make it sooner. I’ve still got some avenues where I think I can cut off some time to get back sooner, but that’s [to be determined].”<\/p>\n

Burnes signed a $210 million, six-year deal with the D-backs before last season. He had a 3-2 record with a 2.66 ERA over 11 starts before getting hurt on June 1.<\/p>\n

Burnes is one of many D-backs pitchers who will miss at least a chunk of the upcoming season because of injuries. Relievers A.J. Puk<\/a> and Justin Martinez<\/a> also are coming back from major elbow surgery while lefty Andrew Saalfrank<\/a> is out for the upcoming season after having shoulder surgery.<\/p>\n

Puk told reporters that he hopes to return before the All-Star break after having internal brace surgery. Martinez is aiming for a late-August return date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Feb 10, 2026, 01:20 PM ET SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Arizona Diamondbacks ace Corbin Burnes said he hopes to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":460694,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[363,99],"class_list":["post-460693","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460693","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=460693"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460693\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/460694"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=460693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=460693"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=460693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
