Despite an unsightly 7.88 ERA in eight starts this season for the White Sox, it hasn’t been that long since Dallas Keuchel was an elite — or at least above-average — major-league starting pitcher.

As recently as 2020, he posted a 1.99 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and .217 batting average against, finishing fifth in Cy Young voting. And you may have some recollection of his 2015 season that saw an unknown 27-year-old win the AL Cy Young Award

After signing a minor-league deal with the Diamondbacks, Keuchel has now made his first appearance in his new organization. But it didn’t happen in the big leagues. It happened in an Arizona Complex League game, facing a group of mostly 18- to 21-year-olds from the Rockies organization. Keuchel logged five innings, allowing four runs on seven hits with a walk and four strikeouts.

After two months and exactly 200 plate appearances, Christian Walker is batting .203/.295/.469 with 13 homers, eight doubles and 25 RBI in 2022. At first glance, it seems unremarkable. A first baseman batting a tick over the Mendoza line while slugging .469? Chris Carter, is that you? A closer look reveals that, not only are Walker’s offensive numbers far more...

Joe Mantiply's effectiveness in an otherwise struggling Diamondbacks bullpen means his role only figures to expand.

Diamondbacks fans blew a collective sigh of relief this winter when 2021 saves leader Mark Melancon signed a two-year, $14 million deal as their team’s new closer. Melancon hasn't been as advertised, which is a familiar story for D-backs fans.

Following the Diamondbacks’ ninth win in their last 12 games, valley sports fans are starting to feel what it’s like to root for a winning baseball team again. It’s been a while.

Here are five things that stood from from the D-backs’ series win over the Rockies.

Two years Diamondbacks pitcher Merrill Kelly made a promise to manager Torey Lovullo. Despite undergoing a surgery that has destroyed multiple pitcher careers, Kelly is keeping his promise.

With the possible exception of the starting pitching, nothing has gone right for the team in 2022. They lead the league in errors. The bullpen has the fewest strikeouts in the majors. But it’s no secret that, if any one aspect of the team should take the majority of the blame for the 3-8 start, it’s the offense.

Following arguably the most exciting Opening Day game in franchise history, the rest of the Diamondbacks' opening series against the San Diego Padres brought back memories of 2021.
