Burnes Back for Arizona but Pitch-Limited in Return

Corbin Burnes returned from the injured list this week and made his first start back for the Arizona Diamondbacks. He is still pitch-limited and working to regain feel and timing on his breaking pitches, particularly his curveball. He has not pitched in essentially over a year, raising questions about his near-term impact. His long-term value to the team's window remains significant, but his contribution may be constrained through the current stretch run.
