arizona diamondbacks corbin burnes.

Arizona Diamondbacks ace Corbin Burnes was lifted after just 70 pitches against the Washington Nationals with right elbow discomfort. Manager Torey Lovullo told reporters after Arizona’s 3-1 win that Burnes will have an MRI on Monday. Arizona led 3-0 in the top of the fifth inning when Burnes allowed a single by CJ Abrams with two outs. The right-hander then gestured toward the dugout with his glove and yelled in frustration. Jalen Beeks replaced Burnes and gave up an RBI single before getting the third out. Burnes is 3-2 with a 2.66 ERA in 11 starts. Arizona signed Burnes to a $210 million, six-year contract before the season.
