Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel making mechanical adjustment

Diamondbacks setup man Kevin Ginkel has not been as sharp as he wants to be, but he and Arizona's pitching coaches have identified a mechanical adjustment to focus on. Ginkel has allowed runs in three of his last four outings, letting eighth-inning leads slip Saturday at the Baltimore Orioles and Monday against the Cincinnati Reds. The right-hander was a breakout star for the D-backs in the second half of last season and took on a higher-leverage role with closer Paul Sewald missing the first six weeks of 2024 with an oblique strain. Manager Torey Lovullo said there are no plans to move Ginkel out of the high-leverage spot.
