PHOENIX (AP) â The young Clay Buchholz used the scouting report merely as a suggestion.He glanced at it Bartolo Colon Jersey , made a couple of mental notes, but basically threw whatever pitch was working or felt right in the situation. His stuff was that good.The veteran Clay Buchholz relies on the scouting report much more. His stuff not quite as electric, the right-hander has to use his mind and his arm to get hitters out.Itâs certainly working. Following a series of injury-plagued seasons, Buchholz has used a more targeted approach to revitalize his career and become a key cog in the Arizona Diamondbacksâ push to a second straight playoff appearance.âI try to pitch to hittersâ weaknesses a lot more than I used to,â Buchholz said. âIâve gotten a lot better at knowing what part of the scouting report I can (use) and what I can do with it, rather than taking it all in and forgetting some of it and being unsure. I have a lot of other eyes on the whole scenario for me, too.âBuchholz has arguably been Arizonaâs best pitcher since signing with the Diamondbacks on May 5, going 7-2 with a 2.25 ERA in 13 starts. He tossed seven scoreless innings to beat the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday, a start after finishing off the San Diego Padres for his 10th career complete game.The right-hander has been at his best as the NL West-leading Diamondbacks hit the stretch run of the season. Buchholz has won six of his past seven starts and has an eight-game streak of pitching at least five innings and allowing three runs or less.âI think Clay has finally gotten to a point in his career where heâs realized the type of pitcher he needs to be,â Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. âI see it happening every single outing. I see him adapting to a game plan and I see him making adjustments to hitters in different ways. For me, thatâs the definition of mental toughness in a pitcher.âBuchholz has needed it.He burst onto the baseball scene in 2007 Jon Niese Jersey , tossing a no-hitter for the Boston Red Sox in his second career start. Buchholz made it through two more starts his rookie season before being shut down for shoulder fatigue. That began a string of injuries, including a pulled hamstring after making the All-Star team in 2010, a stress fracture in 2011, a knee injury in 2014.Buchholz then suffered an elbow injury in 2015 that bothered him over the next two years before forearm surgery cost him most of the 2017 season with Philadelphia. He ended up signing a minor-league deal with Kansas City this year, but the Royals wanted to go young and kept him in Triple-A Omaha, so he opted out of the contract.His future uncertain, Buchholz signed with the Diamondbacks, believing he could contribute but not knowing exactly what to expect.âI feel like I have a lot pitches left in me,â the 34-year-old said. âIâve been hurt a lot and havenât thrown as many pitches as a normal 10-year major league guy. The way I look at it, I feel good right now so sort of proving to myself I was right then going out there and working.âEarly in his career, Buchholz dominated hitters with a fastball that hit 96 mph. The velocity isnât quite the same â itâs still in the low 90s â but Buchholz has made up for it by learning hittersâ tendencies http://www.rangersfanproshop.com/authentic-edinson...uez-jer sey , mixing his pitches and locations. He also has leaned on pitching strategist Dan Haren, a former big-league pitcher, and Arizonaâs catchers to game plan against opposing hitters.âAt times, when I knew him as a younger pitcher, the tempo might not have been as good,â said Lovullo, Bostonâs bench coach during Buchholzâs time there. âHeâs doing a really good job with three pitches, three-plus pitches, and heâs on a great run right now full of confidence.âBuchholzâs run has the Diamondbacks running toward a playoff berth. MIAMI (AP) The last-place Miami Marlins were sellers at the trade deadline, as usual, but kept a foundation for their future.All-Star catcher J.T. Realmuto and closer Kyle Barraclough Elvis Andrus Jersey , both subjects of trade talk, were among those staying in Miami. The Marlins parted with right-handed reliever Brad Ziegler and outfielder Cameron Maybin, two well-traveled veterans who increased their market value by playing well lately.Ziegler returned to his former team, the Arizona Diamondbacks, who bolstered their bullpen for the pennant race and gave up Double-A reliever Tommy Eveld. Maybin went to another contender, the Seattle Mariners, for minor league middle infielder Bryson Brigman and international slot money.There had been considerable trade speculation regarding Realmuto, but instead he could now become the centerpiece in CEO Derek Jeterâs rebuilding project, with the Marlins interested in a long-term contract.Also staying are Barraclough, outfielder Derek Dietrich and first baseman Justin Bour. All were subjects of trade speculation in recent days, but none is on the verge of free agency.The deals not made may signal a shift in direction under Jeter for a franchise long accustomed to constant roster turnover.âWeâre building something Ivan Rodriguez Jersey ,â president of baseball operations Michael Hill said. âThe controllable pieces we have in Miami, weâre extremely happy to have them a part of the organization. Theyâre definitely a part of what weâre trying to build to be a consistently competitive organization. We knew there were some names out there that were popular, but in the end those players are still Miami Marlins, and weâre excited that they are.âRealmuto has a $2.9 million salary and two years of arbitration to go. A long-term contract with Miami is now a possibility.âAt the appropriate time, I think itâs something that will be discussed,â Hill said.Ziegler and Maybin werenât part of the Marlinsâ long-term plans.The 38-year-old Ziegler is 1-5 with a 3.98 ERA this season. The sidewinderâs ERA was 7.88 on June 1, but since then he has allowed two runs in 28 innings. Heâs in the final year of a $16 million, two-year contract, and the Diamondbacks will assume the remaining $2.95 million of his salary this year.The 31-year-old Maybin is batting .251 with three homers and 20 RBIs in 99 games this season, but heâs batting .329 with a .912 OPS since June 29. The Mariners are the seventh team for the 12-year veteran, who has a $3.25 million http://www.rangersfanproshop.com/authentic-shin-so...hoo-jer sey , one-year contract.âWeâre very happy with deals we were able to make, maximizing the value of two expiring contracts,â Hill said.Eveld, a 24-year-old right-hander, has a 1.11 ERA in 35 games in the minor leagues this season. Heâs a native of the Miami area, played football at the University of South Florida and was a ninth-round draft pick by the Diamondbacks in 2016.The 23-year-old Brigman is batting .304 this year for Single-A Modesto with 15 stolen bases. He was a third-round pick by the Mariners in 2016.Eveld will be assigned to Double-A Jacksonville, and Brigman to Single-A Jupiter.The Marlins optioned right-hander Ben Meyer to Triple-A New Orleans, returned from rehab and reinstated right-hander Tayron Guerrero, recalled right-hander Jarlin Garcia from New Orleans, and selected the contract of outfielder Isaac Galloway from New Orleans.â
