With the Diamondbacks’ offseason condensed to just over three months, the emergence of some injuries was anticipated as pitchers and catchers reported.
Kevin Ginkel is the first player to be affected, grappling with right elbow soreness, as disclosed by skipper Torey Lovullo.
Though x-rays returned clear, Ginkel is expected to approach spring training cautiously.
Heading into his 6th year in the league, Ginkel is coming off a stellar 2023 season, where he boasted a 9-1 record and a 2.48 ERA, solidifying his role as a key reliever in the Dbacks bullpen.
In the postseason, Ginkel elevated his performance even further.
