D-backs manager Torey Lovullo was driving home from an eye doctor appointment Tuesday when general manager Mike Hazen called to let him know that the team had opted to exercise Lovullo's contract option for 2023. Hazen said he had the full support of managing general partner Ken Kendrick and team president/CEO Derrick Hall in making the decision.

"I’m honored that this organization has put the faith in me -- Ken, Derrick and Mike -- that I’m able to go ahead and lead this team for the rest of this year and next year," Lovullo said. "I don’t want to let them down. This is my home. My wife and I love the Valley, and I couldn’t think of a better situation to be in with great ownership, great leadership."
