On top of that, Paul Sewald was brought in to pitch the ninth inning, only to watch the first to batter each launch solo-shots to carry to the Braves to a shutout victory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arizonasports.com\/mlb\/arizona-diamondbacks\/d-backs-options\/3616720\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Arizona\u2019s Outfield Options Growing Thin<\/a><br \/>Once, not so long ago, considered an area of depth for the Diamondbacks, the organization is now perilously thin on reliable starting options for the outfield at the MLB level. The injury to Jordan Lawlar is going to test the mettle of the remaining players and may even create a need to reach down for one of the untested prospect bats, such as Kristian Robinson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arizonasports.com\/mlb\/arizona-diamondbacks\/d-backs-options\/3616720\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Spencer Giesting Suffers Oblique Injury<\/a><br \/>Arizona\u2019s left-handed pitching depth just took another significant hit. The Reno Aces\u2019 Giesting has been placed on the 7-day IL but is expected to miss more than a month of time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlbtraderumors.com\/2026\/04\/brewers-cooper-pratt-reportedly-working-on-extension.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brewers Finalize 8-year Extension with Top Prospect Cooper Pratt<\/a><br \/>Cooper Pratt joins the ranks of top prospects getting early extensions. Pratt has now signed an 8-yr\/$50.75MM extension that will keep him in Milwaukee for the foreseeable future. Because Pratt signed the deal before making his debut, he will not be eligible to earn a PPI pick should he eventually win Rookie of the Year when he does finally debut. As Pratt has only made his AAA debut a few days ago, it could still be a while for the young shortstop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Diamondbacks Waste a Second E-Rod GemEduardo Rodriguez gave the Diamondbacks as good an opportunity to win on Friday&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":663270,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2394],"tags":[14273,191,46,4166,5,192,42021,4,3537,39029],"class_list":{"0":"post-663269","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-atlanta-braves","8":"tag-arizona-diamondbacks-news","9":"tag-atlanta","10":"tag-atlanta-braves","11":"tag-atlantabraves","12":"tag-baseball","13":"tag-braves","14":"tag-diamondbacks-news","15":"tag-mlb","16":"tag-mlb-news","17":"tag-snake-bytes"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116348018110001976","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663269","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=663269"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663269\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/663270"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=663269"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=663269"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=663269"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
