Arizona Diamondbacks Wiretap

The Chicago White Sox selected UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky with the No. 1 overall pick Saturday, taking the consensus top prospect in this year's class despite late buzz around Grady Emerson and Vahn Lackey. Cholowsky posted a 1.088 OPS during his junior season and profiles as a well-rounded shortstop with a fast track to the majors.

The Tampa Bay Rays followed by selecting Fort Worth Christian High School shortstop Grady Emerson, the top-ranked high school position player in the draft. Emerson earned Gatorade National Player of the Year honors and fills a need for a Rays organization still searching for stability at shortstop.

The Minnesota Twins took Georgia Tech catcher Vahn Lackey third overall after he hit .397 with 20 home runs this season, continuing the school's pipeline of first-round catchers.

The San Francisco Giants then selected UC Santa Barbara right-hander Jackson Flora fourth, the top pitching prospect in a class considered thin on arms.

The Pittsburgh Pirates rounded out the top five by taking LSU outfielder Derek Curiel, a draft-eligible sophomore who batted .353 with strong instincts in center field.

Major League Baseball revealed its 2026 All-Star Game starting lineups Saturday, with Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani topping the fan vote and three teammates joining him in the National League's starting group.

Ohtani will serve as designated hitter for the NL, appearing alongside Freddie Freeman at first base, Max Muncy at third and Andy Pages in the outfield. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Ohtani probably won't pitch in the exhibition after they altered his workload schedule.

Additional NL starters include Juan Soto of the New York Mets, Brandon Marsh of the Philadelphia Phillies, CJ Abrams of the Washington Nationals, and Atlanta Braves duo Ozzie Albies and Drake Baldwin.

American League voting leader Ernie Clement will start alongside fellow Toronto Blue Jays infielder Vladimir Guerrero Jr., though Guerrero has since withdrawn from the game. Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz will replace him after winning the players' vote at that position.

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero, Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr., Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers and Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez round out the AL infield and battery. Mike Trout, Aaron Judge and Byron Buxton comprise the American League's starting outfield.

This year's contest takes place July 14 at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Fans selected the starters, while a combination of league officials and current players, managers and coaches chose the reserves.

The Dodgers, Braves and Phillies each landed a league-best five All-Stars apiece. Five starters, Langeliers, Clement, Baldwin, Marsh and Pages, earned their first career selections, while Freeman and Chris Sale are making their 10th appearances.

Trout returns for his 12th All-Star nod and first since 2023, currently recovering from a hamstring injury but expected to play. MLB will feature players wearing original team uniforms this year rather than specialized event jerseys.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo went to bat for Ketel Marte on Tuesday, saying any idea that the star second baseman is fracturing the Arizona clubhouse "couldn't be further from the truth."

Lovullo's comments came in the wake of a USA Today report over the weekend that Marte is again frustrating some members of the organization by taking days off.

But Lovullo said that was untrue.

A race to first based turned into a violent collision that sent two players sprawling onto the field and, eventually, into the dugout.

Arizona's Ildemaro Vargas and the Los Angeles Dodgers' Max Muncy are sore but otherwise OK, but, boy, what a jolt.

"It was terrible," Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte said through an interpreter after hitting a walk-off homer in Arizona's 3-2 win over Los Angeles on Thursday night. "In my 10 years, I've never seen a collision like that."

With nearly two months of the 2026 season complete, 22 players from the preseason MLB top 100 prospect list have graduated from eligibility, reshuffling the rankings ahead of what figures to be an active trade deadline season.

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Jesus Made, 19, moves to the top spot after posting 90th percentile exit velocities that rank among big league averages despite playing in Double-A. His ability to control the strike zone and his defensive profile stand out, though scouts note his swing produces insufficient lift to translate his raw power into home run totals. If that changes in the second half, a significant ranking jump could follow.

Among the most notable movers is Boston Red Sox shortstop Franklin Arias, who climbs from 36th to sixth after posting improved exit velocity and lift rates while maintaining contact. Athletics shortstop Leo De Vries jumps to second after his profile helped pry All-Star closer Mason Miller from Oakland. Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Seth Hernandez rises from 49th to seventh after slider and fastball shape improvements unlocked his ceiling.

Notable graduates from the list include the previous top two prospects, Konnor Griffin and Kevin McGonigle, along with Samuel Basallo, JJ Wetherholt, Bubba Chandler, Carson Benge, Andrew Painter, and Carson Williams, among others.

Seven players currently on active big league rosters remain eligible but could graduate within weeks.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired outfielder Alek Thomas from the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for an outfield prospect, the teams announced Tuesday.

Thomas, who was designated for assignment by Arizona on Friday, provides the Dodgers with a left-handed hitting option and a good, speedy defender to play center field. He can still be optioned to the minors and is not expected to be on the big league roster at the moment.

The struggling Arizona Diamondbacks shook up their roster Friday, promoting their top prospect, outfielder Ryan Waldschmidt, from Triple-A and designating veteran outfielder Alek Thomas for assignment.

The 23-year-old Waldschmidt, who nearly made the team out of spring training, was batting .289 with three homers, 22 RBIs and had a .877 OPS at Triple-A Reno. He was the 31st overall pick in the 2024 draft out of Kentucky.

Wednesday’s series showdown will be broadcast locally on Dbacks.TV (Arizona feed) and Chicago Sports Network (CHSN) (White Sox feed). First pitch is scheduled for 9:40 PM ET. Fans can stream the game in high definition on Fubo, which offers access to regional sports networks and national MLB coverage.

The Arizona Diamondbacks (13-10) look to get back into the win column this Wednesday, April 22, as they host the Chicago White Sox (9-14) for the second game of a three-game set. The White Sox took the series opener in emphatic fashion with an 11-5 victory on Tuesday, fueled by a multi-home run attack. Arizona will need to tighten up its defense and find early run support to prevent the South Siders from clinching the series tonight.

Arizona’s offense is led by Corbin Carroll, who recently returned to action and provides elite speed at the top of the order. Veteran Ildemaro Vargas is also coming off a productive Tuesday where he launched a home run and drove in three. The White Sox counter with an offense that leads the league in surprise power outbursts, looking for continued production from their middle-of-the-order bats. Catch every inning live on Fubo.

The pitching duel features a battle of southpaws. Arizona turns to Eduardo Rodriguez (1-0), who has been a pillar of the rotation with a sparkling 1.96 ERA through his first few starts of 2026. He faces off against Chicago’s Anthony Kay (1-0), who carries a steady 2.60 ERA and looks to build on his momentum. You can witness this interleague battle streaming live on Fubo.

The defining storyline for the Diamondbacks is whether Rodriguez can silence a White Sox lineup that thrived on Tuesday. For Chicago, the challenge is maintaining offensive consistency against an elite starter. With Arizona currently third in the NL West, every home game is vital for keeping pace in a crowded divisional race. Fubo is your home for the complete broadcast.

White Sox vs. Diamondbacks Betting Odds & Predictions

The Diamondbacks enter the game as home favorites. Oddsmakers are banking on Eduardo Rodriguez's superior ERA and Arizona's 17-6-0 record against the spread this season to favor the snakes.

Prediction: Eduardo Rodriguez has been nearly unhittable to start the year. While the White Sox offense erupted on Tuesday, repeating that performance against a pitcher of Rodriguez's caliber is a tall task. Final Score: Diamondbacks 5, White Sox 3.

Individual Matchups: Stars and Playmakers

The marquee matchup features the elite speed of Corbin Carroll against the veteran composure of Anthony Kay. Carroll’s ability to create chaos on the basepaths will be a major factor early in the game.

*Season stats current through April 22.

Chicago relies on a balanced attack, aiming to replicate the 11-run production from Tuesday night to pressure Arizona's bullpen.

Monday’s interleague opener will be broadcast locally on MASN (Orioles feed) and Dbacks.TV (Arizona feed). First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 PM ET. Fans can stream the game in high definition on Fubo, which offers access to regional sports networks and national MLB coverage.

The Arizona Diamondbacks (9-7) head to the East Coast this Monday, April 13, to open a three-game set against the Baltimore Orioles (8-7). Both teams have navigated a competitive start to the 2026 season, with Arizona holding a slim edge in the standings despite a laundry list of injuries to their rotation. Baltimore enters the series riding a two-game winning streak and looking to solidify their spot at the top of the AL East.

The Diamondbacks' lineup has been surprisingly ignited by Ildemaro Vargas, who is hitting a blistering .394. He joins stars Corbin Carroll and Nolan Arenado in a lineup that remains dangerous. Baltimore counters with their own MVP candidate, Gunnar Henderson, who leads the team with 6 home runs and 12 RBIs. Despite missing Adley Rutschman due to an ankle injury, the O's have remained offensive juggernauts. Catch every pitch live on Fubo.

The pitching duel features Arizona's Ryne Nelson (RHP) against Baltimore's Trevor Rogers (LHP). Nelson is looking to find consistency in a rotation missing Corbin Burnes and Merrill Kelly, while Rogers is aiming for his third win of the young season. You can witness this interleague clash streaming live on Fubo.

The key storyline for the Orioles is managing their injury-depleted roster, with Tyler O'Neill and Adley Rutschman both on the IL. For Arizona, the main focus is their road performance, as they look to improve on a 4-5 away record. With both bullpens featuring high-leverage arms like Paul Sewald and Ryan Helsley, late-game execution will be paramount. Fubo is your home for the complete broadcast.

Diamondbacks vs. Orioles Betting Odds & Predictions

The Orioles enter as slight home favorites. While the Diamondbacks have a slightly better record, Baltimore’s home-field advantage and Trevor Rogers' strong start to 2026 give them the edge with oddsmakers.

Prediction: Camden Yards often favors left-handed power, but without Rutschman, the O's will rely heavily on Henderson. If Ryne Nelson can keep the ball on the ground, Arizona has a chance for the upset, but Baltimore’s bullpen momentum should prevail. Final Score: Orioles 5, Diamondbacks 4.

Individual Matchups: Stars and Playmakers

The marquee matchup features Gunnar Henderson against the sinker-heavy approach of Ryne Nelson. Henderson has been a force at the plate, already tallying 12 runs scored this season.

Arizona relies on Corbin Carroll and the veteran presence of Nolan Arenado to anchor a lineup that has been surprisingly resilient despite rotation injuries.

Thursday’s series finale will be broadcast locally on SNY (Mets feed) and DBTV (Diamondbacks feed), with national coverage available on MLB Network. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 PM ET. Fans can stream the game in high definition on Fubo, which offers access to regional sports networks and national MLB coverage.

The New York Mets (7-5) and Arizona Diamondbacks (6-6) meet for a decisive rubber match this Thursday night in Flushing. After splitting the first two games—including a dominant 7-2 Arizona win yesterday—both teams are looking to secure their second series victory of the month. The Mets have remained competitive despite a major blow to their lineup, as superstar outfielder Juan Soto remains sidelined with a calf strain. 

Arizona's offense is firing behind Corbin Carroll, who is putting up MVP-caliber numbers early with a .333 average and 11 RBIs. The Mets, meanwhile, are leaning on their pitching depth and a contact-heavy approach that ranks eighth in the majors in team batting average. With the series on the line, expect a tactical battle under the lights at Citi Field. Catch every pitch and highlight live on Fubo. 

The pitching duel features two hurlers at opposite ends of their careers. The Mets turn to rookie phenom Nolan McLean (RHP), who has impressed with a 2.62 ERA and a triple-digit fastball through his first two starts. He faces veteran southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez (LHP), who makes a highly anticipated start for Arizona after working through early spring command issues. You can witness this National League clash streaming live on Fubo.

The key storyline for the Mets will be their ability to generate power without Soto. Third baseman Mark Vientos and catcher Francisco Alvarez have shouldered the load, but they face a tough task against Rodriguez's cutter. For the Diamondbacks, the veteran presence of Nolan Arenado-now anchoring the hot corner in Arizona-provides a stabilizing force for a young but explosive lineup. Fubo is your home for the complete broadcast.

Mets vs. Diamondbacks Betting Odds & Predictions

The Mets enter the finale as favorites at home. Despite Arizona's offensive outburst yesterday, oddsmakers are siding with the rookie McLean's strikeout potential against a D-backs lineup that can be prone to the swing-and-miss.

Prediction: Nolan McLean has been the real deal for the Mets early on, and pitching in the cooler Queens air favors the "Under." Expect a tight contest decided by the bullpens. Final Score: Mets 4, Diamondbacks 2.

Individual Matchups: Stars and Playmakers

The premier matchup features Corbin Carroll's elite speed against Nolan McLean's high-velocity heater. Carroll has been an extra-base machine in this series.
