Story summary

Arizona Diamondbacks placed right-hander Corbin Burnes on the 15-day injured list due to shoulder inflammation on Friday. This happened just one day before he was scheduled to pitch as the team tries to secure the final wild-card spot in the National League playoffs. Burnes, who underwent Tommy John surgery and returned to the majors only recently on September 8th, has struggled this season with a high ERA of 7.84 across three starts totaling 10 1/3 innings. The Diamondbacks recalled right-hander Jose Cabrera from Triple-A Reno as they consider their options for Saturday's game based on Friday's performance against San Diego. Philadelphia’s loss to Tampa Bay put the Diamondbacks just 1 1/2 games behind the final wild-card position, with a magic number of two for elimination. Chicago and San Diego have already clinched playoff spots.
