Corbin Burnes took a major step toward returning from Tommy John surgery, throwing two outs in a simulated game while hitting his fastball in the low-90s and staying focused on strikes — a promising sign as he aims for a possible return as early as Saturday. He followed up with 11 bullpen pitches to build arm strength, all while managing intensity. His comeback is critical for the Diamondbacks, especially after his last major league appearance was in June. Meanwhile, Zac Gallen also pitched in the same simulation, tossing three innings and allowing one run with his fastball clocking in at 93-94 mph — eligible to return on Sept. 7. Both pitchers are being carefully evaluated for their next outings, with the goal of having them fully healthy for the Houston series starting Sept. 4.
