Gregorius matched a career high with three hits in a 2-1 loss to Miami on Sunday. The Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop is batting .354 in his 21 games this season. |
|
Diamondbacks released INF Mark Teahen. Teahen asked for and was granted his release. The veteran infielder hit .211/.318/.254 with 22 strikeouts in 22 games at Triple-A Reno but should be able to latch on with a new team. The Reds tried to trade for him at the end of April, but Teahen did not pass his physical. |
|
Wade Miley held the Marlins to two runs over six innings but suffered a loss on Sunday. The left-hander struck out six and gave up just five hits and a walk, but the Marlins got a two-out single from Derek Dietrich followed by a two-RBI double from Marcell Ozuna in the sixth, and that's all they needed. Miley has won just one of his previous seven starts, but he still holds a solid 3.67 ERA and 1.33 WHIP on the year. He'll get the Padres next. |
|
McCarthy pitched a three-hitter for his first win since being struck in the head by a line drive last season, helping the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Miami Marlins 1-0 on Saturday night. McCarthy (1-3, 4.74 ERA) struck out five and walked two while throwing 68 of 99 pitches for strikes in his third career shutout, first since Sept. 3, 2011, against Seattle. McCarthy was hit in the head by an Erick Aybar line drive on Sept 5. 2012, against the Angels while with Oakland. He suffered a skull fracture and underwent surgery to end his season. He signed a two-year deal with Arizona in December and went winless in his first eight starts with his new club. |
|
Willie Bloomquist (oblique) could begin a rehab assignment midway through the week. Bloomquist has been playing games at extended spring training and hasn't had any recent setbacks. He should be ready for activation before the end of the month. |

Gregorius matched a career high with three hits in a 2-1 loss to Miami on Sunday. The Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop is batting .354 in his 21 games this season.
Diamondbacks released INF Mark Teahen. Teahen asked for and was granted his release. The veteran infielder hit .211/.318/.254 with 22 strikeouts in 22 games at Triple-A Reno but should be able to latch on with a new team. The Reds tried to trade for him at the end of April, but Teahen did not pass his physical.
Wade Miley held the Marlins to two runs over six innings but suffered a loss on Sunday. The left-hander struck out six and gave up just five hits and a walk, but the Marlins got a two-out single from Derek Dietrich followed by a two-RBI double from Marcell Ozuna in the sixth, and that's all they needed. Miley has won just one of his previous seven starts, but he still holds a solid 3.67 ERA and 1.33 WHIP on the year. He'll get the Padres next.
McCarthy pitched a three-hitter for his first win since being struck in the head by a line drive last season, helping the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Miami Marlins 1-0 on Saturday night. McCarthy (1-3, 4.74 ERA) struck out five and walked two while throwing 68 of 99 pitches for strikes in his third career shutout, first since Sept. 3, 2011, against Seattle. McCarthy was hit in the head by an Erick Aybar line drive on Sept 5. 2012, against the Angels while with Oakland. He suffered a skull fracture and underwent surgery to end his season. He signed a two-year deal with Arizona in December and went winless in his first eight starts with his new club.
Willie Bloomquist (oblique) could begin a rehab assignment midway through the week. Bloomquist has been playing games at extended spring training and hasn't had any recent setbacks. He should be ready for activation before the end of the month.
Jason Kubel (quad) will return to the Diamondbacks' lineup Sunday. Kubel still isn't totally over his left quad injury, so the club is taking it easy with him. He might continue to see more days off than normal as he tries to put the malady behind him.
Adam Eaton (elbow) played five innings in center field for High-A Visalia on Friday. It's the first time he's played the field during his rehab assignment, as he had been limited to DH duty. Eaton was scheduled to play the field again on Saturday before being re-evaluated by the Diamondbacks. He should be activated before the end of the month. Manager Kirk Gibson said he's "not really worried about" finding enough playing time for all the members of a deep group of outfielders. "If we have guys, we'll find places for them to play," the manager added.
Daniel Hudson (elbow) gave up two runs on five hits over four innings in an extended spring training game on Friday. It's the first time since last year's Tommy John surgery that Hudson has faced hitters wearing a different uniform. The D'Backs says the righty's fastball sat in the 91-93 mph range, which is obviously a good sign. "The light at the end of the tunnel is getting a little bit brighter now," Hudson said. Hudson will appear in another extended spring game next week and doesn't appear far off from a rehab assignment. He could be back as soon as late June if all goes well, though the big club doesn't currently have room for him in the rotation.
Brandon McCarthy threw a three-hit shutout as the Diamondbacks beat the Marlins 1-0 on Saturday. Everybody looks a little better facing the Marlins, but it's the second-straight outing that McCarthy has held the opponent scoreless and he's now turned in three consecutive quality starts. After his early struggles, McCarthy seems to have turned a corner. We look for him to be more consistent going forward. His next turn will come against the Padres on Friday.
Gerardo Parra hit a leadoff (but game-winning) home run against the Marlins on Saturday night. Parra took Tom Koehler deep on the first pitch of the game, and it turned out to be all the scoring either team would do. The homer was Parra's only hit of the night, and he's now batting .327/.394/.506 on the year. The outfielder has often been the odd-man out in the Diamondbacks outfield -- Arizona expected Jason Kubel and Adam Eaton to be starting at this point -- but it's hard to see how the club will bench him when he's performing like this.
Cahill held the Marlins to one run and five hits over eight innings in Arizona's 9-2 win at Miami on Friday. Cahill continued his strong season, improving to 3-4 while lowering his ERA to 2.48.
Parra was 3 for 5 in Arizona's 9-2 win over Miami on Friday, extending his hitting streak to six games. Parra is hitting .480 during the hitting streak, bringing his season average from .300 to .327.
Goldschmidt was 4 for 5 with two homers in Arizona's 9-2 romp over the Marlins on Friday. Goldschmidt remains red hot, as he's 18 for 39 (.462) with seven homers and 14 RBIs over his last 11 games.
Paul Goldschmidt swatted a pair of two-run homers on Friday, powering the Diamondbacks to a 9-2 victory over the Marlins on Friday. Goldschmidt finished the outstanding evening 4-for-5 with four runs scored and four RBI. He opened the scoring in the first inning with his first two-run blast off Kevin Slowey, then repeated the feat on the 13th pitch of his next at-bat in the third inning, which included fouling off seven two-strike offerings. He's been an absolute monster thus far, hitting .338/.421/.656 with 12 homers, 35 RBI and four stolen bases.
Trevor Cahill was terrific in Friday's victory over the Marlins, surrendering only one run on five hits over his eight innings. Cahill walked four and struck out four on the night. The only blemish on his evening was an RBI single by Rob Brantly in the seventh inning. The 25-year-old righty has been extremely impressive in the early part of the season, posting a 2.33 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 43/24 K/BB ratio over 58 innings. He'll look to continue that dominance when he does battle against the Rockies in Colorado on Wednesday.
Jason Kubel has been out of the starting lineup the past two games after aggravating his left quadriceps injury. The injury forced him onto the disabled list earlier this season. "Just trying to get over that," Kubel said. "We decided to give it a few days rest." Kubel was batting .333/.375/.600 with two homers and six RBI before going down with the injury on April 9 and he's struggled mightily since, batting .167 since his activation. Arizona begins a three-game series Friday against Florida and Kubel's former Twins teammate Kevin Slowey. Cody Ross and A.J. Pollock will pick up additional at-bats if Kubel can't play.
Martin Prado is batting .275 in May. Slowly but surely, Prado is digging himself out of an awful early-season slump. In his first month with the Snakes, Prado slashed an anemic .217/.266/.348. Over 15 games this month, he's batting a reasonable .275/.339/.333. It's certainly not the start Arizona expected after acquiring Prado in the Justin Upton trade and subsequently signed him to a four-year, $40 million contract extension. Sporting his trademark multi-position eligibility and playing in cozy Chase Field, now might be the time to buy low. Prado entered the year a .319/.370/.447 career hitter in Arizona.
Goldschmidt tagged a career-high three doubles in four at-bats in Arizona's 5-3 win over Atlanta on Wednesday. He is 14 for 34 (.412) with five home runs and 10 RBIs over his last 10 games.
Eric Chavez delivered an RBI single and a two-run double in the Diamondbacks' 5-3 victory over the Braves on Wednesday. Both hits came off old A's teammate Tim Hudson. Playing more than anticipated with Aaron Hill sidelined, Chavez is batting .301 with four homers and 16 RBI in 85 at-bats, which is one reason the Diamondbacks are off to a nice start at 23-18.
Despite surrendering a double in the ninth, Heath Bell picked up his second save in two days Wednesday against the Braves. B.J. Upton nearly plated a run with a hard shot up the middle with two outs, but Martin Prado grabbed it and threw to first to end the game. The Diamondbacks had a two-run lead anyway, so it wouldn't have been the end of the world. Bell has five saves in six opportunities the last eight days.
Corbin allowed three hits in seven innings and joined Randy Johnson as the only left-handers in team history to win their first six starts, lifting the Diamondbacks to a 2-0 win over the Atlanta Braves. The young left-hander also became the first Diamondbacks pitcher to start 6-0 since Brandon Webb won nine straight decisions in 2008. Johnson won his first six starts in 2001 and went 7-0 in 2000, putting Corbin in the same company as a five-time Cy Young Award winner.
Patrick Corbin pitched three-hit ball for seven innings in the Diamondbacks' 2-0 win over the Braves on Tuesday. Corbin walked a season-high five batters tonight, but it didn't hurt him as he limited Atlanta's lineup to a double and two singles. He's gone eight straight starts this year without allowing more than two runs. If not for two J.J. Putz blown saves, he'd be 8-0 at the moment.
After blowing Sunday's opportunity, Heath Bell pitched a scoreless ninth for a save Tuesday against the Braves. Bell pitched around a Paul Goldschmidt error, striking out two of the four batters he faced. That came after David Hernandez struck out the side in the eighth. Bell is now 5-for-6 in his save opportunities this year. Technically, he does have two blown saves, but the first came in the seventh inning of a game last month.
Willie Bloomquist (oblique) will play in an extended spring training on Thursday. He'll play in 1-2 extended spring games before beginning a rehab assignment if all goes well. Barring another setback, Bloomquist should be ready for activation before the end of the month.
Miley was crushed for seven runs, six hits - including two home runs - and also gave up two walks over five innings in Arizona's 10-1 loss to Atlanta on Monday. Miley, who had given up just two home runs in 43 innings all season, fell to 3-2 while his ERA rose to 3.75.
Goldschmidt was 2 for 3 with his 10th homer accounting for the Diamondbacks' lone run in their 10-1 loss to the Braves on Monday. Goldschmidt was coming off his first day off from the starting lineup all season, so maybe manager Kirk Gibson had the right idea.
Wade Miley wore down in the desert Monday night, surrendering seven runs to the Braves in the fifth and sixth innings. Arizona held a 1-0 lead heading into the fifth inning when Miley lost his stuff, allowing a pair of two-run homers to Chris Johnson (in the fifth) and Justin Upton (in the sixth). Six of the seven runs tallied against Miley were earned, and he recorded only one strikeout while walking two. The opening pitch temperature was 99-degrees and Miley entered 3-1 with a 2.93 ERA. He's still a decent mixed league option.
Aaron Hill was not cleared to resume activities Monday after a doctor determined that his left hand had not healed sufficiently. "He's going to be waiting and try to get some more growth on that bone," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. Hill to this point has been limited to running and standing in on bullpen sessions to track pitches. It's unlikely that he'll be ready to return before June now.
Gregorius had two hits in Sunday's 4-2, 10-inning loss to the Phils. Gregorius not only has a cool name but he's hitting .362 so far.
Parra had two hits in Sunday's 4-2, 10-inning loss to the Phils. Parra owns a .866 OPS and is enjoying a fantasy campaign in which he has outperformed his ADP.
McCarthy was outstanding in Sunday's 4-2, 10-inning loss to the Phils. McCarthy pitched eight scoreless innings for the first time since Sept. 3, 2011, against Seattle before the bullpen blew it in a tough blow for fantasy owners.
Heath Bell suffered a blown save in Sunday's loss to the Phillies. Bell allowed two doubles and a game-tying RBI single to Domonic Brown to blow a two-run lead in the ninth inning, costing Brandon McCarthy his first win of the season. It's not going to take many more of these outings for David Hernandez to get a shot at closer. Bell will continue to see the majority of save situations for now.
Brandon McCarthy threw eight scoreless innings Sunday in a no-decision against the Phillies. It was McCarthy's best start to date, but he still wasn't able to get the win thanks to a blown save by Heath Bell. The Diamondbacks made a questionable decision not to let him go for the complete game, as he was removed after just 88 pitches. McCarthy has now put together back-to-back quality starts and is starting to look more like the pitcher he was in 2012. He has 5.63 ERA and 1.54 WHIP through his first eight starts.
Didi Gregorius went 2-for-5 with a double and his first triple of the season in Sunday's extra-innings loss to the Phillies. Gregorius was bumped to the No. 2 spot in the lineup when he returned from the DL, and he's continued to outperform his offensive expectations to this point. He still needs to prove that he can make adjustments as the season moves along, but there aren't many shortstops that are playing better than him right now. Gregorius is batting .362/.403/.655 through his first 15 games.
Parra had three hits in a 3-1 loss to Philadelphia on Saturday night. Parra, batting .313 this season, is 8 for 18 (.444) with three doubles over his last five games.
Trevor Cahill held the Phillies to one run in five innings Saturday but the Diamondbacks lost. It was another fine outing from Cahill, who boasts a 2.70 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 39 strikeouts through his first 50 innings this season. He struck out five Philadelphia hitters and allowed only three hits. The right-hander will hope for more run support next week in Miami.
The Diamondbacks have shifted Adam Eaton's (elbow) rehab assignment from Triple-A Reno to High-A Visalia. Eaton is currently being limited to DH duties and the pitchers at Triple-A Reno will hit for the next week, so he had to find a new team to rehab with. Eaton is still a week or so away from manning center field. He's expected to rejoin the D'Backs near the end of May.
Batting eighth for the first time this year, Miguel Montero homered in the bottom of the eighth to break a 2-2 tie in the Diamondbacks' 3-2 win over the Phillies on Friday. Montero opened the year in the cleanup spot, though the sixth spot has always made the most sense for him. It was his .198 average that got him dropped all of the way to eighth tonight. Of course, he's far better than that, and he'll probably be a solid mixed-league catcher the rest of the way.
With Heath Bell having pitched three straight days, David Hernandez got the call in the ninth on Friday and protected a one-run lead against the Phillies. It was Hernandez's first save of the year. After a rough April, he's turned in four scoreless innings over the last week. The Diamondbacks would prefer Bell hold on to the closer's gig, but Hernandez is ready and waiting should Bell falter.
Miguel Montero has been dropped to eighth in the lineup for Friday night's game against the Phillies. D'Backs manager Kirk Gibson was quick to say that he didn't expect it to be a permanent move in the lineup. Perhaps Gibby is just trying to to take the pressure off Montero in an effort to get his bat going. He's been abysmal at the dish thus far, hitting .198/.306/.270 with two homers, 12 RBI and a 25/18 K/BB ratio through 32 games.
Corbin gave up one run, four hits and two walks over 6 1-3 innings in Arizona's 2-1 win over Philadelphia on Thursday. With a 1.75 ERA that ranks among the best in baseball, Corbin continues to be a solid fantasy surprise.
Gregorius was 2 for 3 with a double in Arizona's 2-1 win over Philadelphia on Thursday. After missing some time with a concussion, Gregorius has picked up right where he left off, going 8 for 18 (.444) in five games since returning.
Willie Bloomquist (oblique) has resumed taking batting practice. Bloomquist was given a weekend off after he still felt something in his oblique during an extended spring training game. He's unlikely to return this month. "I wouldn't call it a setback," Bloomquist said. "It just wasn't ready for that type of intensity yet, and there's only one way to find out. You're feeling good in batting practice and everything else, but game speed is a little bit different."
Patrick Corbin improved to 5-0 by allowing one run in 6 1/3 innings Thursday in a 2-1 win over the Phillies. Corbin limited the Phillies to just four hits (all singles) and two walks (one intentional) while striking out four. He also hit a batter. The lone run scored on a fielder's choice after Corbin was replaced by Matt Reynolds in the seventh inning. One of the biggest surprises of the early part of the season, Corbin has gone at least six innings in all seven of his starts this season and has allowed two runs or less in each of them. He'll carry a 1.75 ERA into a start against the Braves next week.
Heath Bell notched his third save in three days Thursday night against the Phillies. Nursing a one-run lead, Bell gave up a one-out double to Domonic Brown, but he managed to get Carlos Ruiz to fly out and Laynce Nix to ground out to end it. We still don't have much faith in the veteran right-hander, but he should be owned in all fantasy leagues as long as he continues to get opportunities. Since Bell has worked in three straight games, Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson could look to David Hernandez or Matt Reynolds for a potential save chance on Friday night.
Gerardo Parra went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a walk in Thursday's win over the Phillies. Parra drove in a run with a bunt in the bottom of the sixth inning, which ended up being the difference in the ballgame. The 26-year-old has hit safely in seven out of his last eight games and owns a quality .307/.377/.467 batting line on the year. He should continue to be relevant in most mixed leagues until Adam Eaton (elbow) is ready to return from the disabled list.
Aaron Hill (hand) is hoping to be cleared to hit off a tee sometime next week. Hill has had to keep his soft cast on longer than expected, but he'll visit the doctor again Sunday and undergo another CT scan Monday in hopes that he can start hitting. The second baseman to this point has been limited to running and standing in on bullpen sessions to track pitches. He won't be back until late May at the earliest, and there's a good chance his absence will extend into June.
Goldschmidt homered twice, including a tie-breaking shot for the second straight game, lifting the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 3-2 victory over the slumping Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night. Goldschmidt went 7 for 13 (.538) with four homers and nine RBIs during the three games against the Dodgers. He's batting .320 with nine homers and 30 RBIs this season.
Miley earned his first win since April 10 in Wednesday's 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander allowed two runs and seven hits in 7 2/3 innings - his longest outing of the season - struck out four and walked none. Miley lowered his ERA to 2.93 while improving to 3-1.
J.J. Putz will not require major elbow surgery. Putz has been diagnosed with a sprained ligament, a strained flexor pronator and nerve irritation in his right elbow -- all of which can be addressed through rehab. He will try to return before the end of the 2013 season. Heath Bell has taken over Arizona's ninth-inning gig.
Paul Goldschmidt homered off Clayton Kershaw and Kenley Jansen to drive in all three Diamondbacks runs in a win over the Dodgers on Wednesday. Goldschmidt had a two-run shot to tie it in the sixth and the solo blast to give the Diamondbacks the lead in the eighth. Arizona ended up sweeping in L.A. to improve to 19-15 on the season. The reeling Dodgers are 13-20. Goldschmidt had four homers and nine RBI in the series.
Wade Miley pitched 7 2/3 innings and allowed two runs Wednesday in a win over the Dodgers. Miley outlasted Clayton Kershaw and got the win after Paul Goldschmidt took Kenley Jansen deep to give the Diamondbacks the lead in the eighth. It was his first victory since April 10. He's 3-1 with a 2.93 ERA.
Heath Bell pitched around a leadoff double to pick up a save in a 3-2 game against the Dodgers on Wednesday. Bell lowered his ERA to 4.40 in picking up his third save. Expect him to be Arizona's closer until he blows at least one save. That said, he might not get the opportunity if one develops Thursday; he'd be pitching on a third straight day, which is something he hasn't done this year.
Willie Bloomquist (oblique) had a setback in extended spring training recently. Bloomquist had been slated to return in late May, but apparently that won't happen now. The utilityman has been out all season with a strained oblique.
The Diamondbacks have placed Putz on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday because of a right elbow strain. Putz, an All-Star in 2007 with Seattle, was injured in the ninth inning of the Diamondbacks' 5-3 victory on Tuesday night and was replaced by former three-time All-Star closer Heath Bell. Bell got three outs for his second save of the season. Putz is 2-1 with five saves and a 4.26 ERA in 14 appearances this year. He is in his third season with Arizona, having recorded a career-high 45 saves in 2001 and 32 last year.
Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said Heath Bell will get the first shot at closing while J.J. Putz is out. Bell told reporters earlier that he and David Hernandez would rotate based on matchups, but it appears that the former Padres and Marlins closer will get the first crack at the job. It's not surprising given that Bell has pitched better than Hernandez in recent weeks. But Hernandez is the more talented pitcher and is a good bet to eventually take the job.
Heath Bell said Wednesday that he was told he and David Hernandez would handle the eighth and ninth innings depending on matchups in J.J. Putz's absence. So it sounds like it will be a tag-team effort rather than solely Bell's job initially as had been reported. Bell got the save Tuesday and has pitched better than Hernandez of late, so he'll probably get the next opportunity. Hernandez is a better long-term investment, however.
ESPN's Buster Olney reports that "all signs point" to J.J. Putz needing major elbow surgery. Olney says that, even if the Diamondbacks opt for rest and rehab, Putz will be "out a long time." The D'Backs will go with Heath Bell as their closer for now, but David Hernandez is a better pitcher and could easily find himself in the ninth inning before long.
Diamondbacks recalled RHP Will Harris from Triple-A Reno. Harris was sporting a rough 4.63 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in 11 2/3 innings at Triple-A. He will pitch in middle relief.
Diamondbacks placed RHP J.J. Putz on the 15-day disabled list with a right elbow strain. Putz suffered the injury Tuesday during an appearance against the Dodgers and will likely be sidelined for an extended period of time. Heath Bell is taking over the Diamondbacks' ninth-inning gig and obviously needs to be owned in all standard fantasy leagues. David Hernandez is also a good speculative add.
Heath Bell will fill in for J.J. Putz (elbow) as the Diamondbacks' closer. Putz left Tuesday's game with elbow stiffness and is expected to be placed on the disabled list. Some considered David Hernandez the favorite to replace him at closer, but Bell has the "proven closer" tag and has actually been pretty effective of late. Pick him up in all fantasy formats.
Gregorius went 3 for 4 with a run scored in Tuesday's 5-3 win at Dodger Stadium. Gregorius is now batting .436 with three homers and nine runs scored in 10 games this season.
Goldschmidt hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer in the ninth inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Dodgers 5-3 on Tuesday night. Goldschmidt is now batting .377 with five long balls and 19 RBIs over 17 road games this season.
According to manager Kirk Gibson, J.J. Putz left his appearance Tuesday because of elbow stiffness. If this has been an ongoing thing for Putz, it'd explain some of his struggles to date. Given his history, the safe play would be to put him on the DL, even if this is termed minor. There hasn't been any comment yet on who might close in Putz's place. David Hernandez, Matt Reynolds and Heath Bell could be part of a committee or perhaps Gibson will pick one of the three. Hernandez is the best reliever of the bunch, but Reynolds is performing better now and Bell got the job done tonight. We'd still take a chance on Hernandez first.
Capping off an 11-pitch battle, Paul Goldschmidt homered off Brandon League in the top of the ninth to help the Diamondbacks beat the Dodgers 5-3 on Tuesday. The homer was a two-run shot. Goldschmidt also had an RBI groundout in the game. He's driven in six runs in two days, and he's moved into the top five in the NL with 27 RBI on the season. He's quite the fantasy force right now, especially with his four steals already.
After replacing an injured J.J. Putz, Heath Bell got three outs for his second save Tuesday against the Dodgers. The case for making Bell the Diamondbacks closer if Putz lands on the DL would rest entirely on his experience in the role. He has a 4.72 ERA this season, though that does come with a nifty 19/3 K/BB ratio in 13 1/3 innings. Still, David Hernandez is the better bet and Matt Reynolds is pitching the best of anyone in Arizona's bullpen. Those two would make more sense as save candidates.
Eric Chavez went 2-for-4 with a double and stole his first base since 2007 against the Dodgers on Tuesday. Chavez swiped 47 bases during his first 10 big-league seasons, but he hadn't so much as attempted a steal in six years. So, he must be feeling pretty good this season. It shows in his performance, what with him hitting .275 with four homers in 69 at-bats. We didn't agree with many of Kevin Towers' offseason moves, but his pickup of Chavez for $3 million was a very good one.
J.J. Putz left Tuesday's game in the ninth inning with an apparent right hand injury. Putz was shaking the hand after a leadoff walk to Nick Punto, so perhaps he was dealing with some numbness. If he's done for a while, the Diamondbacks could go to a closer-by-committee, with David Hernandez, Matt Reynolds and Heath Bell in the mix. We'd be more confident Hernandez would get the save chances if he weren't off to a somewhat disappointing start. Bell replaced Putz tonight, as Hernandez had already pitched.
Goldschmidt went 4 for 5 with a homer and three RBIs in Monday's 9-2 road win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Goldschmidt is now hitting .391 with three long balls and nine RBIs in 12 career games at Dodger Stadium.
Cahill allowed two runs and six hits over seven innings, earning the win during Monday's 9-2 victory at Dodger Stadium. Cahill has been outstanding of late, going 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA over his last three starts.
Trevor Cahill's hot start continued Monday, as he held the Dodgers to just two runs over seven innings in the 9-2 win. He recorded a season-low two strikeouts and walked three batters, but Cahill kept the Dodgers in check with just one extra-base hit (a Carl Crawford solo homer). The sinkerballer failed to go six innings in each of his first two starts of the season, but since then he's put up a 1.83 ERA over five outings. He'll take on the Phillies over the weekend.
Paul Goldschmidt went 4-for-5 and smacked his sixth homer of the season in Monday's win over the Dodgers. His fifth-inning longball was the first of back-to-back shots with Cody Ross, which forced starter Chris Capuano from the game. Goldy is now hitting .316 with his six dingers, and his 24 RBI rank among the league leaders. The Diamondbacks first baseman could be in for a big breakout season.
Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers said Monday that he expects Willie Bloomquist (oblique) back in late May. Bloomquist's oblique strain must be a severe one, as he's been out all season. He began playing in extended spring training games late last month, but evidently he's not ready for a rehab assignment yet.
Didi Gregorius went 2-for-3 with a home run Sunday in his return to the lineup. Gregorius was activated from the DL on Saturday, but didn't start. He homered off Edinson Volquez in his first at-bat and accounted for the Diamondbacks' lone run. Paul Goldschmidt was the only other D-Backs player to get a hit Sunday. Gregorius is batting .433/.469/.867 with a 1.335 OPS in eight games this season.
Ian Kennedy allowed five runs and three walks on five hits in 5 2/3 innings Sunday against the Padres. Kennedy has still yet to win a game since Opening Day. He struck out five and was pulled in the sixth inning after giving up back-to-back home runs to Jedd Gyorko and Will Venable. It's his fourth loss in his last five starts and he now has a 5.19 ERA. Kennedy will look to get back on track Friday vs. the Phillies.
Corbin went seven strong innings and the Arizona Diamondbacks snapped their season-high four-game losing streak with an 8-1 victory over the San Diego Padres on Saturday night. Corbin (4-0) gave up one run and five hits while striking out seven. He walked three while his ERA dropped to 1.80. Corbin has opened the season by pitching at least six innings and allowing two runs or less runs in his six starts - all Arizona victories.
Patrick Corbin limited the Padres to one run in seven innings and struck out seven in Arizona's 8-1 victory Saturday. Corbin improved to 4-0 and lowered his ERA to 1.80. The Diamondbacks have won all six of his starts. There's still nothing really that stands out about his arsenal, but as he's hitting his spots with his low-90s fastball and mixing in a pretty good slider. It's been plenty good enough so far.
A.J. Pollock homered, doubled in two runs, walked and stole a base versus the Padres on Saturday. Pollock, who was supposed to open the season in the minors until Arizona's outfield fell apart, has four homers, 10 doubles and five steals this season. Sure, he also has a 17/3 K/BB ratio, but he's been a heck of a fill-in so far.
Montero went 2 for 3 with a homer and three runs scored in Friday's 7-6 loss at San Diego. Montero's homer was just his second of the season. He's batting a disappointing .208 despite Friday's big game.
Diamondbacks activated SS Didi Gregorius from the 7-day disabled list. Gregorius hasn't played since being hit in the helmet by a pitch last Friday, but was cleared to resume baseball activities earlier this week. The 23-year-old was batting .407 (11-for-27) with two home runs and four doubles in seven games prior to landing on the DL. Gregorius should remain the Diamondbacks' everyday shortstop even when Aaron Hill (hand) returns. Cliff Pennington will slide into a backup role.
Diamondbacks optioned OF Alfredo Marte to Triple-A Reno. Marte made the Diamondbacks' Opening Day roster as a fourth outfielder, but batted just .186/.271/.256 during his 22 game stint in the majors. Didi Gregarious has been reinstated from the 7-day DL in a corresponding move.
Gerardo Parra hit a three-run homer off Huston Street in the loss to the Padres on Friday. Parra brought the Diamondbacks back to within a run in the ninth, but it wasn't quite enough. Expected to be the Diamondbacks' fourth outfielder again this year, Parra has played regularly with Adam Eaton out and hit .298 with 19 runs scored in 28 games. He's plenty good enough to remain a starter against right-handers the rest of the way, but the Diamondbacks could shove him back into a reserve role when everyone is healthy.
Miguel Montero went 2-for-3 with a homer, a walk and three runs scored Friday against the Padres. It was Montero's first multihit game since way back on April 7, and the homer was his first since April 2. Hopefully, his long slump has now come to an end.
Diamondbacks GM Kevin Towers said Friday that Aaron Hill's injured hand is taking longer than expected to heal. Towers indicated that the current best case scenario has Hill returning in late May, but that could easily extend into June. Hill has developed into one of the better offensive second basemen in the league, and was off to a solid .306/.405/.556 start with two homers and six RBI in his first 10 games.
Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson gave J.J. Putz a vote of confidence on Friday, maintaining that despite his recent struggles he will remain the closer. Gibson did however indicate that Putz's workload will be monitored and that David Hernandez or Heath Bell could receive save chances if the situation dictates. Putz has already blown four saves in nine chances on the season, while sporting a 4.26 ERA and 1.50 ERA. While he's still the favorite for saves in Arizona, another blowup could open the door for Bell or Hernandez to seize his job.
Didi Gregorius (concussion) passed all necessary tests and is expected to be activated from the 7-day disabled list Saturday. Gregorius was hit in the helmet by a pitch last Friday, but was cleared to resume baseball activities earlier this week. The 23-year-old was hitting .407 (11-for-27) with two homers and four doubles in seven games prior to landing on the disabled list.
MLB.com's Mark Sheldon reports that the Reds returned INF/OF Mark Teahen to the Diamondbacks due to an issue with his physical. Teahen was acquired by the Reds earlier this week for cash considerations or a player to be named later, but the deal has been nixed. The exact issue with the physical isn't yet known. The 31-year-old was hitting .211/.318/.254 through his first 22 games with Triple-A Reno this season.
Pennington went 2 for 4 with a homer and a career high-tying four RBIs in Wednesday's 9-6 loss to San Francisco. Prior to Wednesday's huge effort, Pennington was hitting just .205 with three RBIs in 25 games. He has very little fantasy value right now.
Brandon McCarthy surrendered four runs over six innings Wednesday in a no-decision against the Giants. Par for the course for McCarthy this year. What was odd about his rough April (0-3, 7.48 ERA) was that he was so poor while surrendering just three homers in his five starts. Tonight he was a more traditional kind of bad, giving up long balls to Angel Pagan and Hunter Pence. The home run ball figured to be more of a problem for him in Arizona than it was in Oakland; so far, he's given up three homers at Chase, one in Colorado and another in Yankee Stadium.
Cliff Pennington had a three-run homer and an RBI double in a losing cause Wednesday against the Giants. Pennington had a .205 average and three RBI this season before busting out tonight. He's in line to have his playing time reduced when Didi Gregorius returns from a concussion, but now that he's swinging better, he could get some playing time at second base.
Trevor Cahill allowed one run in eight-plus innings Tuesday in a no-decision against the Giants. Cahill pitched three-hit ball over eight scoreless innings and then stayed in to start the ninth in a 1-0 game, only to get pulled after a leadoff single. J.J. Putz blew the lead from there. Cahill, of course, deserved better. And it's hard to see what the point was of having him start the ninth and then lifting him after a base hit. He was still at just 88 pitches.
J.J. Putz took his fourth blown save and his first loss after giving up a homer to Pablo Sandoval in the ninth on Tuesday. In J.J.'s defense, he wasn't the putz who decided Trevor Cahill was good enough to start the ninth and then not good enough to stay in after a leadoff single. Had Putz come in to start the inning with the bases empty, as he's accustomed to, things might have gone differently tonight. His closing gig should still be safe.
Doctors have decided to keep the splint on Aaron Hill's fractured left hand after he was examined on Tuesday. He will be re-examined next week to see how much the bone has regenerated. If it has shown sufficient healing, Hill will be allowed to start the rehab process. The second baseman isn't expected to return until at least late May.
Diamondbacks signed OF/1B Juan Rivera to a minor league contract. It took Rivera a month to find a job after being released by the Yankees. The veteran will go to extended spring training for 7-10 days before heading to Triple-A Reno. He'll be an option for the D'Backs bench eventually.
Didi Gregorius passed all concussion tests Tuesday and has been cleared to resume baseball activities. "He'll take ground balls, swing and do everything today except play the game," D'Backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "He has passed everything he has needed to pass." Gibson added that Gregorius isn't a given to be activated on Saturday when first eligible, but it seems likely that he will be.
Kubel hit a two-run homer in Monday's 6-4 loss to San Francisco. Kubel is batting .306 with three long balls and eight RBIs in 10 games this season.
Ian Kennedy gave up four runs over seven frames in Monday's loss to the Giants. Kennedy struck out just two batters on the night and gave up seven hits and walked three. The Diamondbacks' Opening Day starter has been up-and-down this season, putting up a couple great starts but also a few clunkers. He'll take a 4.78 ERA and 1.33 WHIP into San Diego this weekend.
Jason Kubel lifted a two-run homer in Monday's loss to the Giants. The longball was the first of three to leave the yard versus Matt Cain in the fourth inning. Kubel also drew a walk in his second game back from the disabled list. Despite missing nearly weeks of action, Kubel has three dingers this month.
Adam Eaton (elbow) threw from 90 feet on Monday. Eaton will begin a rehab assignment at the beginning of May, first being used in the designated hitter spot. He will then progress to playing center field before aiming to rejoin the D'Backs lineup by the end of the month. Eaton is recovering from a UCL sprain in his left elbow.
Daniel Hudson (elbow) threw 55 pitches over two innings in a live batting practice session on Monday. "He looked good," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "He was overthrowing in the first inning but he came back in the second and had much better location. Overall it was good." Hudson will now begin throwing on a regular five-day cycle, mixing in a bullpen session in between each outing as he would do during the regular season. The D'Backs are hoping to get him back just before the All-Star break.
