Limits Mets to one run Bumgarner didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Mets, allowing an unearned run on four hits with four strikeouts.
Impact Bumgarner delivered his best outing of the season Sunday, surrendering no earned runs for the second straight start while posting his first turn with zero walks. Through four starts, Bumgarner has a 1.00 ERA and 13 strikeouts through 18 innings, though his FIP is much higher at 5.01 due to 10 walks. He's currently slated to pitch again Friday against the Cardinals.

Tough loss to Nationals Bumgarner (0-1) took the loss in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals, allowing two unearned runs on two hits and four walks over five innings. He struck...
Impact The veteran southpaw took a shutout into the fifth inning, but a two-out error by Ketel Marte sparked a rally by the Nats, saddling Bumgarner with the loss. He tossed 53 of 83 pitches for strikes before exiting. Bumgarner has a seemingly sharp 1.38 ERA through three starts, but his 9:10 K:BB over 13 innings, .189 BABIP and 4.97 FIP all suggest there's major regression coming.

Arizona-Washington postponed Monday Bumgarner's scheduled start Monday against the Nationals was postponed due to inclement weather, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
Impact The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Tuesday. Bumgarner will start Game 1 of the twin bill, while Tyler Gilbert starts in the nightcap, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports. That gives Bumgarner a chance at a two-start week, as he'll be on schedule to pitch Sunday against the Mets.

Five strong innings Bumgarner didn't factor into the decision during Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Houston, allowing one run on five hits and two walks with two strikeouts in five innings.
Impact Bumgarner avoided trouble other than a Jose Siri solo shot in the fifth inning despite the low strikeout total. That's now consecutive starts allowing one run for the 32-year-old, though he's failed to reach 80 pitches or three strikeouts in either outing which severely limits his upside. He'll take the mound again on Monday in Washington.

Scheduled start moved up Bumgarner is now scheduled to start Tuesday's series opener against the Astros.
Impact Bumgarner was initially listed as the probable starter for Wednesday's matchup, but he'll instead pitch on normal rest Tuesday since Zac Gallen (undisclosed) is no longer scheduled to start that day. Bumgarner tossed three innings Opening Day and allowed a run on a hit and four walks while striking out two against the Padres.

Will start Wednesday Bumgarner is listed as the probable starter Wednesday against Houston.
Impact With the team off Monday, Tuesday would be Bumgarner's fifth day, but Arizona manager Torey Lovullo confirmed he'll stay on rotation this week and have the left-hander throw Wednesday. The manager also plans to stay on rotation despite a second day off Thursday, per Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. That means Zac Gallen will throw Tuesday followed by Bumgarner on Wednesday at home against the Astros, then Merrill Kelly and Zach Davies starting Friday and Saturday in New York against the Mets.

Escapes with no-decision Bumgarner allowed one run on one hit and four walks while striking out two over three innings in Thursday's no-decision against the Padres.
Impact Bumgarner's night was done after the left-hander needed 68 pitches to get nine outs. The high number of walks is not typical for Bumgarner, and he was expected to go at least five innings, which he did in his final Cactus League outing. He avoided the loss when Arizona's bats woke up after Padres starter Yu Darvish left the game, with Seth Beer's three-run, walkoff home run saving Bumgarner from the loss.

Taking hill Opening Day The Diamondbacks announced Bumgarner as their starting pitcher for Thursday's season opener versus the Padres in Arizona.
Impact Bumgarner's status as a four-time All-Star more than anything likely allowed him to pick up the Opening Day nod, as his first two seasons in Arizona haven't justified him receiving the assignment over Zac Gallen (shoulder) or Merrill Kelly. The 32-year-old at least showed some improvement in 2021 after a disastrous debut season in the desert, accruing a 4.67 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 124:39 K:BB in 146.1 innings. Bumgarner's ability to eat innings and limit walks are still valuable skills at this stage of his career, but his diminishing strikeout rate and poor team context make him little more than a back-end option on a fantasy pitching staff in the majority of leagues.

Logs five innings Bumgarner allowed one hit and struck out six over five scoreless innings in Friday's spring training start against the Cubs.
Impact Bumgarner was efficient, requiring just 55 pitches to get 15 outs in the left-hander's final Cactus League start. He's scheduled to start Opening Day, April 7, against the Padres. Not all starts can be this breezy; if Bumgarner gets up to 70 pitches by next Thursday, there's no guarantee he can get five innings. His spring season ends with a 4.09 ERA and 1.25 WHIP. He allowed eight hits and four walks while striking out 10 over 11 innings.
