Diamondbacks’ Vieira Experiencing Multiple Joint Discomfort

PHOENIX, Ariz. — Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Daniel Vieira reported discomfort in his right knee, elbow, and shoulder, according to MLB.com. The announcement followed a training session on Monday, where Vieira expressed concerns to the team’s trainers.

In response to Vieira’s complaints, the Diamondbacks will conduct imaging tests to pinpoint the source of his discomfort. This development raises concerns regarding his availability for the upcoming season, as the team evaluates his condition.

“We want to ensure Daniel is healthy before he returns to the mound,” said Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo. “Player safety is our top priority, and we will follow the necessary protocols to assess his situation properly.”

Vieira had a challenging 2024 season, playing for three different teams before finishing with Arizona. His performances varied, which adds an element of urgency for the Diamondbacks to identify and treat any potential injuries before the new season kicks off.

The 28-year-old athlete has been a crucial part of the Diamondbacks’ pitching rotation, and the team hopes to avoid any long-term setbacks that could impact his performance in 2025.
