Arizona Diamondbacks ace Corbin Burnes was lifted after just 70 pitches Sunday against the Washington Nationals with right elbow discomfort.

Manager Torey Lovullo told reporters after Arizona’s 3-1 win in Phoenix that Burnes will have a magnetic resonance imaging exam Monday. Arizona led 3-0 in the top of the fifth inning when Burnes allowed a single by CJ Abrams with two outs. The right-hander then gestured toward the dugout with his glove and yelled in frustration.

Jalen Beeks replaced Burnes and gave up an RBI single before getting the third out.Burnes allowed a run and four hits in 4 2/3 innings, with a walk and six strikeouts. He is 3-2 with a 2.66 earned-run average in 11 starts this season.

Arizona signed Burnes to a $210 million, six-year contract before the season. He has been effective, but the Diamondbacks have dealt with a slew of pitching injuries. Jordan Montgomery (Tommy John surgery) is out for the season, Eduardo Rodríguez (shoulder) is on the injured list and reliever A.J. Puk (elbow) is on the IL as well.

Bieber rehab start set

Shane Bieber will make his second rehab start on Thursday with the possibility of the 2020 American League Cy Young winner rejoining the Cleveland Guardians rotation by late June or early July.

The right-hander — who had Tommy John surgery on his right elbow last April — is scheduled to start for the Double-A Akron RubberDucks after throwing 2 1/3 scoreless innings in an Arizona Complex League game on Saturday. Bieber, who turned 30 on Saturday, faced nine batters, allowed one hit and struck out five.

Chris Antonetti, Cleveland’s president of baseball operations, was pleased that Bieber was averaging 93 mph on his fastball.

“It was really fun to watch Shane just get back out in a competitive setting,” Antonetti said.

Phillies >> Philadelphia restructured its bullpen, removing Taijuan Walker from the rotation and recalling right-handed reliever Seth Johnson.

Rangers >> Slumping Texas slugger Adolis García was held out of Texas’ lineup for the third consecutive day, with president of baseball operations Chris Young saying the club wants the 2023 ALCS MVP to make some mechanical changes.
