News
	Rico Garcia struck out two batters in a scoreless appearance to earn the save in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Red Sox. Jesse Garcia Wed, Jun 3rd	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.
