Corbin Burnes' return to the Arizona Diamondbacks has been pushed back after he suffered a teres major strain. The injury occurred during a live batting practice session as he recovered from Tommy John surgery. Manager Torey Lovullo stated that Burnes likely won’t return until September at the earliest, which disrupts earlier plans for a July comeback. The situation is particularly challenging for a team that invested heavily in Burnes with a six-year, $210 million contract last season. As Burnes recommences throwing, he will essentially have to start his rehab progression over.
