Arizona Diamondbacks closer Paul Sewald will start the season on the injured list due to a Grade 2 left oblique strain, keeping him out for 6-8 weeks. The 33-year-old played a key role in the team's 2023 success, recording 13 saves in the regular season and six more in the playoffs. Manager Torey Lovullo will likely look to right-hander Kevin Ginkel to step up in Sewald's absence.
