Diamondbacks right-hander Corbin Burnes threw strikes, got a couple of outs and then threw a little more in the bullpen. It was, he said, a good first step. He hopes that after one more, he might be ready to make his long-awaited return.
Burnes pitched on Tuesday, Aug. 25, in a so-called "bridge camp" game at Sloan Park in Mesa, recording two outs and allowing a single against a lineup of Chicago Cubs minor leaguers.
Pitching in the same game was Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen, who gave up one run in three innings.
Burnes' fastball was mostly in the low-90s, topping at 93 mph.
"It was good," Burnes said. "Came out and threw strikes. Did what I needed to do. The misses we had were right around the zone. That was kind of my whole goal coming back was to make sure we're filling up the strike zone and being around it. Give ourselves a chance to get outs. From the look of it, shapes, everything was pretty good there."
