The Arizona Diamondbacks have DESIGNATED CLOSER PAUL SEWALD FOR ASSIGNMENT per John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7. We break down why the D-backs made the move, how the addition of Zack Littell impacted Sewald’s future in Arizona, and why this could be another sign that Mike Hazen is PLAYING TO WIN in 2026.

The move comes on the heels of the D-backs winning the season series over the Los Angeles Dodgers and putting themselves right back in the NL West DIVISION RACE. We discuss what the latest roster shakeup means for Arizona’s bullpen and their chances of making a serious push down the stretch.

Plus, Michael Soroka is BACK and ready to rejoin the rotation! We preview his upcoming start against the Colorado Rockies, answer all of your Mailbag Monday questions, and dive into everything else happening around the D-backs!
