| 4/11/25 | Diamondbacks bullpen notes: Ryne Nelson's role week-to-week. The Arizona Diamondbacks have difficult decisions looming when it comes to their bullpen, which entered Friday ranked seventh in MLB with a 2.93 ERA and first with an 0.80 WHIP. Kevin Ginkel and Kendall Graveman are working their way back from the injured list, Drey Jameson is pitching well in the minor leagues and the Ryne Nelson decision will need to be made before the point of no return. Let's start with Nelson, who is three outings into his role as a reliever. When the Diamondbacks inserted Nelson into a relief role to start the season, the thinking was clear: if there became a point in which he was no longer stretched out, he would not be stretched out to start.

Opening Day is two weeks out from Thursday, and the Arizona Diamondbacks continue to evaluate their options to close games this season.

Conversations between Lovullo, general manager Mike Hazen and assistant GMs Amiel Sawdaye and Mike Fitzgerald are getting more serious. The trio of Kevin Ginkel, A.J. Puk and Justin Martinez has only 43 career saves between them. Source: https://arizonasports.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks... |

| 2/16/25 | D-backs Kevin Ginkel 'not actively pursuing' closer role. While Kevin Ginkel is among the possible solutions to solving the Diamondbacks' closer predicament, he said his personal ambitions aren't going to get in the way of the team's goal to play October baseball. “To be honest, I mean, you work (to be the closer) but I'm not someone who's actively like pursuing it and like bragging about it,” Ginkel said Friday at Salt River Fields on Arizona Sports' Wolf & Luke. In 2024, Ginkel accomplished his health goal by making a career-high 72 mound appearances, a majority of which came after he absorbed a hard-hit ball to his left leg on June 1 against the New York Mets. Despite exiting the game after just eight pitches (Arizona pulled out a 10-5 win), Ginkel didn't miss any time on the injured list. Source: https://arizonasports.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks... |
