It became a meme at the end of the regular season: A Venn diagram of two circles: teams who made the playoffs or play-in fell inside one circle, with teams in the NBA Draft Lottery in the other. Some teams in the slim middle section of the overlapping circles were lucky to make the postseason and still have a lottery pick from a trade with a lottery-bound squad. The Phoenix Suns sat alone as the only team outside either circle altogether.

Diamondbacks starting pitcher Brandon Pfaadt continued his high level of play on Thursday against the rival Los Angeles Dodgers with 6.1 shutout innings.

He had 23 strikeouts and allowed five earned runs in that span.

Former Arizona State standout Cam Skattebo knows his entry into the NFL with the New York Giants comes with a big reset button. Sure, the fourth-round pick finished top five in Heisman Trophy voting and led his team to the College Football Playoff as a player who left high school with just one Division 1 offer. But in his own words, he hasn’t proven anything at the next level yet. “How many snaps in the NFL have you seen me play? Zero, right?

Will Johnson's moved on and motivated after draft fall

TEMPE — Second-round pick Will Johnson was certified mad following his skid down the 2025 NFL Draft. The Arizona Cardinals rookie’s tone during his teleconference immediately after being selected said all you needed to know. Two weeks later, the steam is no longer piping out of the sides of his ears as the young corner gets acclimated to his new surroundings. There’s bigger fish to fry. His hunger, however, remains at an all-time high.

PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks — led by starting pitcher Brandon Pfaadt’s gem and catcher Gabriel Moreno’s grand slam — played a much more complete game to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in their first meeting of the season Thursday, 5-3.

PHOENIX — Arizona Diamondbacks flamethrower Justin Martinez commenced his throwing program on Thursday and could jump back on the mound for a bullpen this weekend, manager Torey Lovullo said. Martinez went on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation on May 1. His velocity had dropped dramatically over his previous two outings in particular. If Martinez continues to hit his marks and feel healthy, Lovullo expects he could be back soon after his 15 days are up.
