The Story in 60 Seconds

The Arizona Diamondbacks completed locker clean-out day after falling short of the National League Wild Card. Pitcher Corbin Burnes addressed his frustrating late-season struggles, clarifying that his issues were caused by chronic inflammation and overuse rather than a new shoulder tear. Meanwhile, third baseman Nolan Arenado voiced support for manager Torey Lovullo following an eventful campaign.
