On Friday, the Diamondbacks are set to take on the Minnesota Twins on the road in a three-game series. </p><p>Meanwhile, Marte is coming off a recent foot injury against the SF Giants on Wednesday. However, he <a href="https://x.com/Gambo987/status/1966556527361487346" rel="noopener">is expected</a> to be in the lineup, per John Gambadoro of 98.7 FM Phoenix. </p><p>Nevertheless, the Diamondbacks are taking precautions by assessing how Marte will feel before the game. This month has been a struggle for Marte as he is batting only .171.  The Diamondbacks are currently standing at 73-74 and trying to secure a Wild Card spot, though they are likely not to get in. </p><p>Altogether, Marte is batting .281 with 25 home runs and 65 RBIs this season. All the while, rumors are that the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/diamondbacks-rumors-arizona-open-trading-diva-ketel-marte-offseason" rel="noopener">Diamondbacks are considering trading Marte</a> after the season. </p><p>Much of it stems from alleged “diva” antics on the part of Marte. He is demanding and doesn’t have a good rapport with his teammates. This isn’t Marte’s first rodeo when it comes to battling injury. </p><p>In April, Marte was out with a left hamstring strain. On May 2nd, he was activated back on the roster. </p><h2><b>It’s been a treacherous season for Ketel Marte</b>.</h2><p>Marte was relegated to the role of DH in August for a stretch of games. This was due to experiencing discomfort in his forearm. Altogether, Marte has been allowed to take occasional days off throughout the course of the year. </p><p>In addition to the injuries, Marte had to endure a real personal trauma. In July, his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/diamondbacks-ketel-martes-home-burglarized-during-all-star-break" rel="noopener">home was burglarized during the All-Star break</a>. </p><p>Nevertheless, he did have his share of moments. In mid-August, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/diamondbacks-news-ketel-marte-ex-teammate-attention-9th-inning-heroics" rel="noopener">Marte came through in the 9th inning</a> in a back and forth battle against the Texas Rangers. He hit a three-run home run in a comeback victory. </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He has experience covering and writing on high school, collegiate, and professional sports.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Arizona Diamondbacks</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Arizona Diamondbacks were in the World Series just two years ago. Now, they are on the outside looking in of the<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/mlb-stories/nl-playoff-picture-standings-in-stacked-conference-becoming-clearer"> National League playoff picture</a>. They were even trade deadline sellers earlier this year, as they made two of the biggest moves before the deadline when they sent Josh Naylor and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/mlb-stories/eugenio-suarez-trade-grades-mariners-diamondbacks">Eugenio Suarez to the Seattle Mariners</a> in separate moves.</p><p>Those veterans were expendable because they were rentals with expiring contracts. The Diamondbacks are going to look to get back to contention next season, but it will likely take some big offseason moves to do so. So, what impending free agents should the Diamondbacks sign this upcoming offseason?</p><h2><b>A Diamondbacks reunion for Paul Goldschmidt</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/779749132-paul-goldschmidt-diamondbacks-walking-away.jpg"><figcaption>Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>With the Diamondbacks’ corner infield spots looking drastically different after the team’s blockbuster trade deadline deals, Arizona should re-invest in either a third baseman or a first baseman. Paul Goldschmidt would be a perfect replacement for Naylor. The seven-time All-Star isn’t the caliber of player he was during his first stint with the Diamondbacks, but a homecoming makes too much sense.</p><p>Goldschmidt spent the first eight years of his major league career in Arizona. He was widely regarded as one of the best players in baseball at that time, often finishing inside the<a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/mvp.shtml" rel="noopener"> top three</a> in NL MVP voting. Now, Goldschmidt is suiting up for the New York Yankees.</p><p>He is still thriving at the plate, too. Goldschmidt has a .277 batting average and 10 home runs this season. He isn’t as much of a power threat as he once was, but he is still an effective contact hitter and an above-average first baseman. Franchise legends often return to the team in which they made their name before returning, so an Arizona reunion would put a smile on Diamondbacks’ fans’ faces. Goldschmidt still has tons to offer at a high level, though, and convincing him to return home likely wouldn’t be too hard.</p><h2><b>Framber Valdez as the new ace in the desert?</b></h2><p>In addition to adding a big league bat, the Diamondbacks should pursue an elite starting pitcher to replace Zac Gallen. The long-time Diamondbacks’ ace is a free agent at season’s end, and he didn’t look like himself this year. Just two years removed from an All-Star nod, Gallen’s ERA bloomed up to 4.77 this season. He was even involved in trade rumors ahead of the trade deadline.</p><p>Framber Valdez would be a great addition, and recent developments may mean he will be<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/houston-astros/mlb-rumors-framber-valdez-cross-up-free-agency-payday"> more available than previously anticipated.</a> Valdez is a two-time All-Star who has been one of the best players on a perennially contending Houston Astros team since his rookie year in 2018.</p><p>However,<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/houston-astros/astros-news-did-framber-valdez-intentionally-hit-own-catcher-with-pitch"> Valdez is in hot water</a> after seemingly intentionally hitting his catcher, Cesar Salazar, with a pitch. Valdez appeared frustrated after giving up a home run after Salazar told him to step off the mound, and he rifled in an unexpected fastball that nailed the catcher. Valdez has denied any intent behind the incident, but it has still been one of the biggest talking points in baseball recently.</p><p>Houston would likely choose Valdez over Salazar if it came down to it, but perhaps the pitcher will leave in free agency regardless. Valdez is one of the best players slated to hit the open market, and he’d form an impressive one-two punch with Corbin Burnes in Arizona if the Diamondbacks were to sign him.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Consequently, in attendance were Diamondbacks President and CEO Derrick Hall as well as the bill’s chief sponsor Rep. Jeff Weninger (R).</p><p>“Throughout all of the unforgettable moments and the history made here, Chase Field has largely gone unchanged, never once undergoing major renovation,” Hobbs told reporters from near the dugout. “Fans have routinely shown up for this city, this state, and it’s time we show up for them.”</p><p>Ultimately, the bill allows for money from sales taxes at the stadium to upgrade the stadium and its neighboring buildings. Additionally, upgrades will be made to the air conditioning system to accommodate the sweltering hot summers in Arizona.</p><p>“We’ve been looking for a solution for easily over seven years, a long-term solution here for Chase Field to find a way to fund all the necessary renovations and maintenance, and we’re now there,” Hall said. “It was a way to bring in that steady flow, along with our money, the team money. We’ve already put over $200 million into this facility. We’re committed to putting in at least another $250 million.”</p><p>The renovations will be ongoing for the next 30 years.</p><h2><b>Chase Field is the only home the Diamondbacks have ever known </b></h2><p>In 1998, the Diamondbacks joined MLB as an expansion team. At the time, they were playing in what was known as Bank One Ballpark.</p><p>Over the years, the stadium became known for its retractable roof and natural grass field. Also, it has a swimming pool out in right centerfield.</p><p>In 2001, the stadium played host to the unforgettable World Series against the New York Yankees.</p><p>At the end of Game 7, Luis Gonzalez hit the walk off single to give Arizona it’s first title.</p><p>In 2011, the ballpark hosted the MLB All Star Game. Later on, the Diamondbacks made it back to the World Series in 2023 before losing to the Texas Rangers.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Veteran left fielder <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/diamondbacks-news-lourdes-gurriel-jr-gets-crushing-injury-update-after-brutal-exit">Lourdes Gurriel Jr. suffered a torn ACL last night</a> while attempting to avoid a collision with teammate Blaze Alexander — a crushing setback for Arizona’s already thin postseason hopes. The injury not only ends his 2025 campaign but could keep him sidelined well into the 2026 season.</p><p>The Talkin Baseball Podcast took to their X (formerly Twitter) page to confirm the news of Gurriel’s diagnosis, <a href="https://x.com/TalkinBaseball_/status/1962990215020089625" rel="noopener">sending shockwaves through</a> the MLB community.</p><p>“Lourdes Gurriel Jr. has an ACL tear”</p><p>This news lands at the worst possible time. With just over 20 games remaining, the Diamondbacks playoff hopes were already slim. Sitting fourth in the NL West at 68-71, Arizona trails the division-leading Los Angeles Dodgers by 11 games, is 8.5 games back of the San Diego Padres, and now sits 1.5 games behind the San Francisco Giants. Without one of their most consistent bats, the team faces long odds to stay competitive in the NL Wild Card race.</p><p>The right-handed slugger had been a steady contributor this season, posting a .248 average with 19 home runs and 80 RBIs across 129 games. Those stats placed him among the team leaders in run production, continuing the reliable presence he’s offered since arriving from the Toronto Blue Jays in 2023. He played a crucial role in the D-Backs’ unexpected 2023 World Series run and has remained a clubhouse leader ever since.</p><p>Recovery from an ACL tear often requires 9 to 12 months of rehab, posing serious challenges for a 31-year-old outfielder. While some stars—like Ronald Acuna Jr.—have made successful returns, others face lingering issues with mobility and overall performance. If Gurriel Jr. experiences a decline in defensive range, a move to a designated hitter role could become necessary to preserve his offensive value.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/diamondbacks-news-diamondbacks-make-2-roster-moves-pirates-clash">The Diamondbacks will now have to turn</a> to untested outfield options or potential waiver claims to fill the void. But with limited games left and a roster already stretched thin, the franchise faces difficult decisions—possibly signaling a shift toward 2026 planning rather than a last-minute push for October.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In six scoreless innings, Gallen struck out eight, walked three, and allowed just two hits, keeping the Dodgers offense struggling all night.</p><p>Roberts spoke candidly postgame, reflecting the blunt tone fans have come to expect when performances fall flat. When asked whether Gallen’s success was about execution or something lacking from the Dodgers offensive approach, Roberts gave all the credit to the opposing ace.</p><p>SportsNet LA posted to X (formerly known as Twitter), sharing video of Roberts’ comments following the loss. The manager was <a href="https://x.com/SportsNetLA/status/1961662850939879537" rel="noopener">direct in evaluating</a> what he saw.</p><p>“We just couldn’t figure anything out tonight… we need to wash this one.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">"We just couldn't figure anything out tonight… we need to wash this one."</p><p>Dave Roberts addresses the media after the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Dodgers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Dodgers</a> get shut out by the Diamondbacks, losing 3-0 in the series opener. <a href="https://t.co/OilYeKKyVp">pic.twitter.com/OilYeKKyVp</a></p><p>— SportsNet LA (@SportsNetLA) <a href="https://twitter.com/SportsNetLA/status/1961662850939879537?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 30, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Game one of this late August Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks series told a clear story. Gallen set the tone early with six scoreless innings, while key swings from Blaze Alexander—a two-run homer in the fourth—and Gabriel Moreno’s RBI single in the sixth gave Arizona all the offense it needed. Los Angeles starter Blake Snell allowed three runs over 5⅓ innings—a solid effort, especially considering it came just days after the birth of his second child.</p><p>Only Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts avoided striking out against the Diamondbacks ace. Betts doubled in the sixth inning, becoming the only Dodger to reach scoring position, but the team failed to capitalize. It marked the seventh time in 2025 that the Los Angeles offense has been shut out or limited to three hits or fewer—a concerning trend for a team with postseason aspirations.</p><p>The lack of offensive adjustments throughout the game only amplified those concerns, especially given how consistently the Dodgers have struggled against elite right-handers like Gallen throughout the season.</p><p>Roberts also admitted he wasn’t involved in the team’s pregame game-planning meeting, raising questions about preparation. That quote, along with his repeated “wash this one” mantra, drew online criticism and further scrutiny of the club’s approach.</p><p>Still, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-dave-roberts-padres-pitchers-duel-reaction">Roberts’ tone matched the moment</a>. The Dodgers manager’s comments reflected accountability without panic and pointed toward improvement ahead of Saturday’s matchup with Arizona lefty Eduardo Rodríguez. For the Dodgers, the message was clear—tip your cap, adjust your plan and reset fast.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

One of the bright spots of the team during this stretch is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/diamondbacks-news-gabriel-moreno-returning-to-lineup-for-first-time-since-june">the return of Gabriel Moreno</a>, who was out with a finger fracture. It’s been some days since he’s come back, and he’s <a href="https://x.com/MLBNetworkRadio/status/1961463180753854498" rel="noopener">already making an impact</a> on the team.</p><p>Manager Torey Lovullo couldn’t let Moreno’s play go unnoticed, and he gave the catcher his flowers during an appearance on MLB Network Radio.</p><p>“The body and mind are very healthy and ready to go,” Lovullo said. “Credit to him for getting himself ready as he possibly could be, and credit to the group down in Salt River for making the adjustments and making sure that he was ready, but I said many times, we’re a different team when he’s in the lineup. Plain and simple. He’s an offensive-minded catcher.</p><p>“The other day, we’re down 6-0 and he hit a 3-run home run in Milwaukee to get us right back in the game. He just does so many things right at the plate. He’s got a good approach. He can hit with a strike. He’s not afraid to hit two strikes. He’s got an all-field approach. He can drive the baseball down the ballpark; he’s very dynamic, and then he’s a run stopper. Nobody runs on him.”</p><p>It’s obvious that having Moreno in the lineup helps the Diamondbacks, and the hope is that it can continue past this season. During the trade deadline, they moved some key pieces after not being where they wanted to be at that point of the season, and now they should be looking at how this team can take shape next season and beyond.</p><p>It would be big if <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/diamondbacks-news-gabriel-moreno-booming-hr-earns-him-place-in-mlb-history">Moreno can continue his strong play</a> into the end of the season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Diamondbacks’ rotation to start the season was Zac Gallen, Merrill Kelly, Corbin Burnes, Eduardo Rodriguez, and Brandon Pfaadt. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/diamondbacks-news-corbin-burnes-season-ending-tommy-john-surgery">Burnes’ season-ending injury</a> threw a wrench into the works.</p><p>When looking at Arizona’s rotation, major changes have happened. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/mlb-stories/rangers-finalize-merrill-kelly-trade-with-diamondbacks">Kelly was part of a trade with the Texas Rangers</a>. Despite staying healthy all year, Gallen and Rodriguez have been disappointing. Pfaadt emerged as the consistent presence in the rotation, the saving grace for a team desperate for one. The main culprit is clear, though.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/diamondbacks-news-eduardo-rodriguez-arizona-agree-80-million-deal">Diamondbacks signed Rodriguez to a four-year, $80 million deal</a> in the 2023 offseason. He and Burnes were the two main additions made to try and revitalize a rotation that made it to the World Series in 2023. The latter was doing well before he got hurt. Rodriguez, on the other hand, has been extremely underwhelming, despite getting paid like a premium-level starter.</p><p>Arizona’s offseason comes with a lot of tough decisions. The team decided to trade Kelly, Eugenio Suarez, and Josh Naylor away rather than pay them as free agents this winter. While the thought was that the same choice would be made regarding Gallen, he survived the deadline. The starter is the player that the Diamondbacks will try to keep this offseason.</p><p>Rodriguez’s numbers are down and the question now is whether or not he is worth his contract anymore. While a bounce back season in 2026 is possible, the pitcher is on the wrong side of 30 years old and may never return to his dominant form. This year might be a precursor to what is to come. Here is why the Diamondbacks should trade Rodriguez.</p><h2>Why should the Diamondbacks trade Rodriguez away?</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Eduardo-Rodriguez-winds-up.jpg"><figcaption>© Matt Kartozian-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Rodriguez’s season has been a far cry from the dominant year he put forth in 2022. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/mlb-rumors-eduardo-rodriguez-injury-diamondbacks-jordan-montgomery">Injury hindered his debut season in Arizona</a>, leaving fans wondering what he would look like if he could put a healthy season together. He has not missed much time in 2025, which would suggest that he rebounded back into his All-Star form on the mound for the Diamondbacks.</p><p>Looking at his pure numbers, Rodriguez is not the player that Arizona signed to a four-year deal. His ERA over the past two seasons(<a href="https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/stats/_/id/32675/eduardo-rodriguez" rel="noopener">5.04 and 5.67</a>) are the highest of his career by a long shot. Those kinds of struggles leave the Diamondbacks wondering if he is worth the money they gave him. At this point, trading him away is the only way to get him off of their salary books.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/3-players-arizona-diamondbacks-fans-are-already-fed-up-with">Arizona fans are already done with Rodriguez</a> on their team. His pitching has been far too inconsistent to have him anywhere near the team’s long-term plans. Sending him away would have its own complications, though. However, the Diamondbacks can’t afford to leave any stone unturned when it comes to their future. The question now is where Rodriguez could go in a trade.</p><h2>Where could the Diamondbacks trade Rodriguez to?</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Eduardo-Rodriguez.jpg"><figcaption>Rob Schumacher/The Republic / USA TODAY NETWORK</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/diamondbacks-news-eduardo-rodriguez-10-team-no-trade-clause-new-contract">Rodriguez’s contract has an interesting no-trade clause</a> that the Diamondbacks would need to navigate if they move on from him. Sending him to his next team would require a fit both for Arizona and the pitcher himself. That being said, the list of teams that could use him in their rotation and is willing to take the risk is a short one. The team that stands out is the New York Yankees.</p><p>New York has been without Gerrit Cole for the majority of the season. Without him, Max Fried and Carlos Rodon have stepped up. However, the quality of the starters behind them have been wildly inconsistent throughout the regular season. If the Yankees fail to find their way into the postseason, they could be on the market for a big name on the starting pitching market.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/diamondbacks-news-eduardo-rodriguez-exits-spring-training-game-cubs-potentially-serious-injury">Rodriguez’s injury history</a> gives teams across the league cause for concern. However, New York is one team that has a history of taking big swings on pitchers that might not be playing at their best, like Marcus Stroman. That strategy has burned Brian Cashman multiple times, but his track record is good. Rodriguez could be the next name on his list of successful gambles.</p><p>The Diamondbacks have a chance to build an effective rotation heading into next season. However, Rodriguez is unlikely to be a part of it. Arizona’s top priority this offseason should be finding him a new home, and New York is one team to keep an eye on if he is on the trade block in a few months.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
