• He departed against the Nationals after allowing one run on four hits over 4⅔ innings when his cut fastball velocity dropped by nearly 3 mph.
• An MRI was conducted on Monday to assess the inflammation but the Diamondbacks have not released the results.
• Left-hander Tommy Henry was recalled from Triple-A Reno to occupy Burnes’s spot on the 26-man roster.
