News
	Arizona's bullpen heading into Opening Day consists entirely of right-handed pitchers, and Ginkel and Juan Morillo have been tasked with handling tough left-handed hitters. Ginkel's career splits are nearly identical against both sides (.312 OBP vs. righties, .311 vs. lefties), though in 2025 he was more effective against lefties, posting a 90 OPS+ against them compared to 137 OPS+ when facing right-handed hitters. Bruno Mulé Tue, Mar 24th
	Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo told reporters that he’s not locked into a particular closer to open the 2026 season. Ari Koslow Tue, Feb 17th
	Kevin Ginkel threw a bullpen session on Tuesday. Nicholas Rodriguez Tue, Feb 10th
	The Diamondbacks signed RHP Kevin Ginkel to a one-year, $2.725 million deal to avoid arbitration. Ari Koslow Fri, Jan 9th
