Manager Torey Lovullo said there are no plans to move Ginkel out of the high-leverage spot. Source: https://arizonasports.com/story/3547674/diamondbac... |

1/06/24 | 2023 Arizona Diamondbacks Reviews: #5, Kevin Ginkel. One year ago, if you told me that in a year I would be writing a piece about Kevin Ginkel, I would have assumed that he had been DFA'd yet again to make space for a new acquisition. Ignoring Ginkel seemed reasonable. After his rise to the majors in 2019 that was borderline meteoric (as he went from being a non-roster invitee who had never appeared above AA to being one of five pitchers to pitch at least 20 innings with an ERA+ of over 300) he had fallen off a cliff. 2023 started off with Ginkel in a familiar low-leverage spot.
