Diamondbacks RHP Corbin Burnes to have Tommy John surgery - ESPN

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Corbin Burnes will undergo Tommy John surgery, manager Torey Lovullo announced Friday.

Burnes left his start Sunday against the Washington Nationals after calling out for the trainer in the fifth inning. The Diamondbacks then placed the right-hander on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday while seeking a second opinion on the elbow.

In his first season in Arizona, Burnes is 3-2 with a 2.66 ERA in 11 starts. The 30-year-old spent the first six years of his career with the Milwaukee Brewers and was named the NL Cy Young Award winner in 2021.

He was traded to the Baltimore Orioles ahead of last season, was named an All-Star for the fourth consecutive season and finished fifth in AL Cy Young voting.

The Diamondbacks signed the free agent ace to a six-year, $210 million contract this past offseason.
