The Arizona Diamondbacks are getting a massive boost to their starting rotation with Corbin Burnes set to make his 2026 debut Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals. We break down Burnes’ long-awaited return from Tommy John Surgery and why getting the former Cy Young winner back could completely change the D-backs’ postseason chances.

We also recap an insane Labor Day thriller against the Royals that saw Arizona survive in extra innings after both teams were held scoreless for nine innings, only for NINE runs to be scored in extras.

Plus, with just 17 games remaining, we take a look at where the D-backs stand in the NL playoff race and what they need to do down the stretch to secure a postseason spot.
