Corbin Burnes, the 2021 National League winner of the National League, signed a six-year, $210 million contract with the Arizona Sidewinders in the offseason, and was temporarily suspended from starting due to an inflammation of his right shoulder after only one month of investment this season.
Burns surpassed Zack Greinke's $206 million for six years, setting a new team record, with an average annual salary of $35 million, and he could choose to get out of his contract after two years, but he was in physical condition in the first month of the season.
Sidewinders head coach Torey Lovullo said today that Burns has been plagued by a shoulder problem for several games and will be canceled for the next start, hoping that the 30-year-old pitcher will not have to be on the 15-day injury list.
Burns has played 6 games this season, conceded 1 point in the first 6 games against the Mets three days ago, won the first win of the Sidewinders, and currently has a 1-1 loss defense rate of 3.58.
