Diamondbacks' Slade Caldwell: Undergoes back surgery
Rotowire
Caldwell underwent back surgery in mid-September, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reported. He will be out four-to-six months.
Caldwell, the Diamondbacks' first-round pick in 2024, has really struggled to hit for power as a professional. In 465 plate appearances at High-A Hillsboro this season, Caldwell hit .213/.361/.304 with six homers and 26 stolen bases, tallying an .091 ISO. While the ongoing back problems may give him an out in terms of his 2026 stats, Caldwell has dropped out of most prospect lists. 2027 will be a crucial year in his development for the Diamondbacks.

Diamondbacks' Corbin Burnes: Expected to be fine after rest
Rotowire
Burnes said Monday that the right shoulder injury which landed him on the 15-day injured list during the final weekend of the regular season was fatigue-related and he expects to be fine after rest, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
Burnes had his Tommy John surgery rehab interrupted by a teres major strain in June, and his season ended prematurely due to what the Diamondbacks labeled as shoulder inflammation. However, it sounds as if the veteran hurler will be able to have a normal offseason after resting for a bit. Burnes allowed nine runs with an 8:4 K:BB over 10.1 innings in three starts for Arizona in 2026.

Diamondbacks' Taylor Clarke: Can't complete one frame as opener
Rotowire
Clarke allowed one run on three hits and a hit batsman over two-thirds of an inning in a no-decision versus the Padres on Saturday. He didn't record a strikeout or a walk.
Clarke ended up struggling as an opener for the bullpen game, though he was far from alone in laboring on the mound. The Padres put up at least one run in five of the first six innings, and the back-and-forth nature of the game kept Clarke from being on the hook for the loss. While he has a strong 2.96 ERA over 73 innings this season, he's surrendered seven runs (six earned) over his last six innings to stumble to the finish line.
