After the Arizona Diamondbacks lost Corbin Carroll to a hand injury, the outfield picture suddenly looked pretty thin—but could help be on the way sooner than expected? We break down whether Lourdes Gurriel Jr. has a real shot to be ready by Opening Day, including tracking his progress this offseason and a firsthand look at Gurriel taking batting practice and running the bases at Salt River Fields.

We also dive into the new ABS Challenge System, how it works, and the biggest concerns players have voiced so far. On top of that, we’ve got the full player schedule for the D-backs Most Valuable Party happening this Saturday at Chase Field… and visual proof that an MLB ballpark is officially taking shape in Las Vegas.
