Madison Bumgarner will return to Phoenix to be looked at by team doctors while the Arizona Diamondbacks continue on the road to a series against the Colorado Rockies.
Bumgarner had a rough outing on Sunday, giving up four home runs in the first two innings during a 9-5 loss to the San Diego Padres. He was pulled before the third inning and will be evaluated after experiencing discomfort in his back the night prior.
