Diamondbacks Pivot to Bullpen Game vs. Dodgers, Start Jalen Beeks Against Yoshinobu Yamamoto

Arizona reordered its staff to set up Zac Gallen, Eduardo Rodriguez and Brandon Pfaadt for the upcoming Padres series.

Overview

  • First pitch is 12:40 p.m. at Chase Field, with local coverage on Channel 34.
  • Left-hander Jalen Beeks will serve as the opener for Arizona, and right-hander Nabil Crismatt is expected to cover multiple innings.
  • The club made the switch after Tuesday’s game as part of a four-man rotation plan that required a fill-in for one of the final five games.
  • Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto starts after allowing only five earned runs on 11 hits over his past five outings, though he walked six in his most recent start on Sept. 18.
  • Arizona’s next three projected starters are Gallen at San Diego on Sept. 26, Rodriguez on Sept. 27, and Pfaadt on Sept. 28 against announced Padres counterparts Yu Darvish, Michael King and Nick Pivetta.
