	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	Michael Petersen is dealing with right hamstring tightness and will undergo further testing to determine the severity. Nicholas Rodriguez Sun, Jul 12th
	Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo told reporters that he’s not locked into a particular closer to open the 2026 season.
