The Diamondbacks spend the early part of the week at home, then go international for a pair of "home games" on Saturday and Sunday, April 25 and 26.
Arizona concluded a three-game series against the 2025 American League champion Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday.
The D-backs host the Chicago White Sox for three games Tuesday through Thursday, with two night games and an afternoon game for the finale.
The homestand continues, but in a different way. The D-backs are the designated home team in a two-game series against the San Diego Padres in Mexico City.

The week also features a rarity: two days off, on Monday and Friday.
The White Sox have been horrendous for the past three seasons, posting records of 61-101 in 2023, 41-121 in 2024 and 60-102 in 2025. This season hasn't begun very well, either. They are 8-14 and have been outscored by 31 runs.
Chicago is full of young players trying to find their way in the majors, and the White Sox made a splash of sorts by signing slugger Munetaka Murakami out of Japan in the offseason.
The Padres look once again like contenders for the postseason in the National League. The same cast of characters largely remains, with the lineup featuring Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado, Xander Bogaerts, Jackson Merrill and Ramon Laureano, who was acquired last season at the trade deadline.

The San Diego pitching staff is anchored by starters Nick Pivetta and Michael King, with Mason Miller, the closer, who regularly hits above 100 mph with his fastball.
The game times for the Mexico City games are 2:05 p.m. on Saturday and 12:05 p.m. on Sunday, both at Estadio Alfredo Harp Helu.
Carroll day-to-day
PHOENIX — D-backs outfielder Corbin Carroll left Sunday's game against the Blue Jays before the fifth inning because of low back tightness, but manager Torey Lovullo is confident the issue isn't serious.
The D-backs fell behind 8-0 after one inning in Sunday's 10-4 loss to Toronto, and Lovullo said it made sense to give a few players some rest. Third baseman Nolan Arenado and left fielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. also exited the game early.
Lovullo said Carroll is "starting in right field on Tuesday” when the D-backs play the White Sox.
“He's definitely got some low back issues that have been taking place,” Lovullo said. “I told you guys that there were some things happening around his body, but he's just tightly wound. I just think it's a day-to-day thing that he's going to continue to monitor."
Arizona is 13-9 after Sunday's loss and in third place in the NL West. The Dodgers (15-6) and Padres (15-7) are ahead of the D-backs.
