The Arizona Diamondbacks are on the verge of a major roster surge as ace Corbin Burnes, sidelined since June after Tommy John surgery, is expected back in the first week of September — a critical boost for their playoff push. With the team just one game behind the Padres and two behind the Phillies for wild-card spots, Burnes’ return could be the spark they need. Pitcher Ryne Nelson and starter Zac Gallen are also targeting September returns, while outfielder Lourdes Gurriel could be back as early as next week. Meanwhile, infielder Ketel Marte’s sudden absence and placement on the Restricted List has fans worried — he’s headed to Arizona for an MRI on his knee, with his status still uncertain. Fans are buzzing for Burnes’ return, especially after his dominant pre-injury season that included a Cy Young win.
