Arizona Diamondbacks acquire Anthony Misiewicz in trade; Face Los Angeles Dodgers Tonight

Diamondbacks Trade for Left-Handed Reliever Anthony Misiewicz

The Arizona Diamondbacks have made a small trade, acquiring left-handed reliever Anthony Misiewicz. Cash considerations were given in exchange for the player, who has pitched parts of three seasons in the major leagues. Misiewicz has held left-handed hitters to a .649 OPS and averages around 94 mph with his fastball.

However, it’s important to note that Misiewicz has been designated for assignment three times in the past year alone, previously by the Mariners, Royals, and Cardinals. Despite this, Misiewicz boasts minor league options, making him a valuable addition to the team.

Trespasser Interrupts Marriage Proposal at MLB Season Opener

Watchdogs shared a video capturing an incident during the Los Angeles Dodgers’ home-opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks. In the video, a security guard can be seen tackling a trespasser mid-marriage proposal. The startling footage has been widely shared on social media.

Upcoming Matches Against Los Angeles Dodgers

The Diamondbacks are set to play four matches against the Los Angeles Dodgers this weekend, followed by four more fixtures next week. The games will wrap up after this until August. Pitcher Merrill Kelly will face off against Dustin May on Friday night at 7:10 pm. The game will be played at the Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles and will air on Bally Sports Arizona and SportsNet LA.

Kelly, who has a 5.97 ERA against the Dodgers, gave up two runs during his final spring tuneup against the Brewers. Even though Kelly did get his pitch count up to 60, he has an erratic workload due to his recent participation in the World Baseball Classic with Team USA. Meanwhile, May, who returned from Tommy John surgery, has managed to maintain his form and health into the season.

The series continues on Saturday at 6:10 pm with Madison Bumgarner facing Clayton Kershaw. On Sunday at 1:10 pm, spectators can look forward to seeing Zach Davies and Noah Syndergaard take the mound. Finally, the first eight-game road trip concludes on Monday at 6:40 pm with Ryne Nelson against Ryan Weathers.
