Andrew Puk: Breaking News

Amassing bullpen sessions

Puk (elbow) has thrown multiple bullpen sessions since late March, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports. Puk is coming back from an internal brace procedure he underwent last June. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Tuesday that his best guess is that Puk returns to the team at some point in June.

Throwing off mound

Puk (elbow) has begun throwing bullpen sessions off a mound, MLB.com reports. The sessions are described as "short box," which is when a catcher sets up just in front of home plate. Puk underwent internal brace elbow surgery last June and is expected back sometime around the All-Star break.

Moves to 60-day IL

The Diamondbacks placed Puk (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Sunday. The left-hander will be unavailable for at least the first couple months of 2026 while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, so his move to the 60-day IL is just a procedural move. After reporting for spring training last week, Puk said that he expects to make his season debut before July.
