It’s not likely that both arms will make it on the roster unless the D-Backs would want to take a trade that would allow Keller to head to Triple-A.

Junis is a virtual lock for the rotation without any injury while Machado and Gavigilo have options to head to Omaha for depth. I would also expect a trade of one of the starters out of Duffy, Hammel or even Kennedy if they can swing it which would open at least one spot.

Looking at the 40-man there seem to be a whole lot of 5th starter/long reliever types: Gavigilo, Flynn, Machado, Peralta, Barlow and these 2.
