Optioned to Triple-A Reno: LHP Philip Abner Reassigned to Minor League camp: C Aramis Garcia INF Jacob Amaya The first of these is a bit of a surprise.
Only yesterday, I was noting how Abner seemed to have the inside track for left-handers job, after the recent meltdowns of Brandyn Garcia. Now, it seems either it’s Garcia’s job, or the Diamondbacks will be going without a left-handed option out of the pen. Lineup Update: CF – Barrosa 2B – Vargas C – Moreno 1B – Smith LF – Waldschmidt DH – McLaughlin 3B – Soler RF – Ortiz SS – Clark SP – Curtiss — Arizona Diamondbacks (@Dbacks) March 22, 2026 The finale of the Cactus League today, with the remaining games tomorrow and Tuesday being on the hallowed (artificial) turf of Chase Field.
John Curtiss gets the start, to be followed by LHP Brandyn Garcia, RHP Juan Morillo, RHP Taylor Rashi, RHP Shawn Dubin and, uh, according to the D-backs team notes anyway, RHP John Curtiss again. I presume the Curtiss start is to avoid a divisional rival getting experience late in spring against a recognized starting pitcher. This game was originally going to be broadcast on Arizona Sports, but the team notes make no mention of this.
The change in start time from an afternoon game may have screwed things up there.
