Diamondbacks' Key Players Recovering from Injuries

0:00On April 29th, the Arizona Diamondbacks hit a rough patch during their two game series against the San Diego Padres in Mexico City, losing three key players to injuries and quick succession. Right-handers-at-Gallon took a comebacker to his left shoulder, causing a contusion. Short-stop Joraldo Padomo, sprained his left ankle on a botched double-play and catcher Adrian Del Castillo, dislocated his left-wing finger from A. Fowl-tip. Reports show all three are on the mend, which is huge for a team that can't afford more setbacks. Padomo has been taking ground balls in Milwaukee and says his ankle feels better. He's planning to test it during batting practice and on defense soon. These guys were carrying the load before the injuries hit. Padomo snapped out of a slow start with a hot streak, hitting safely in seven straight games and boosting his average to 250. Gallon leaves the rotation with a 3.14 earned run average, looking sharp in his last outing before getting hurt. The latest updates keep the optimism flowing.

1:00Gallon played catch on his off day and plans a bullpen session this week, likely avoiding a miss start unless something changes. Del Castillo is already back in the lineup against the Milwaukee Brewers, batting 5th by sitting out behind the plate. With these recoveries trending up, the Diamondbacks can refocus on climbing the standings without their core pieces sideline long-term. Stay tuned with MLB News Today. AI-powered updates.
