Wil Nieves has just one hit since April 25.
The seldom-used 35-year-old has slashed .280/.321/.280 through 28 plate appearances. Nieves, who entered 2013 a .229/.274/.301 career hitter over nine major league seasons, will continue to play sparingly behind starter Miguel Montero.
May 22 - 4:15 AM
Diamondbacks re-signed C Wil Nieves to a one-year, $800,000 contract.
Nieves was recently non-tendered by the Diamondbacks, but both sides were quickly able to hammer out a new agreement. The 35-year-old is a .229/.274/.301 hitter over nine major league seasons and figures to play sparingly behind starter Miguel Montero.
Thu, Dec 6, 2012 05:36:00 PM
Jack Magruder of FOX Sports Arizona reports that the Diamondbacks have re-signed catcher Wil Nieves to a one-year, $800,000 contract.
Nieves was recently non-tendered by the Diamondbacks, but both sides remained motivated to get a deal done. The 35-year-old backstop hit .301/.330/.410 with two homers and eight RBI over 83 at-bats between the Rockies and Diamondbacks this past season and will function as Miguel Montero's backup in 2013.

Diamondbacks non-tendered C Wil Nieves.
Nieves was claimed off waivers from the Rockies in August. The 35-year-old backstop hit .301/.330/.410 with two homers and eight RBI over 83 at-bats between two teams in 2012. He'll attempt to latch on elsewhere in a reserve role.

Aaron Hill
D.L.
Aaron Hill will have his left hand examined by a doctor next Monday.
That will be two weeks after Hill was hoping to get the go-ahead to resume baseball activities, as his fractured hand is healing much slower than expected. The original timetable had him possibly returning by late May, but he probably won't be activated until well into June now.

Willie Bloomquist

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.

Adam Eaton
D.L.
Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers said Thursday that Adam Eaton will "probably" get a second opinion on his left elbow from Dr. James Andrews in the coming days.
Eaton was recently pulled off his minor league rehab assignment due to renewed discomfort in his elbow. Towers said an MRI showed fluid around his ulnar collateral ligament, but no new damage was found. As of now, he's expected to rest for 2-3 weeks before restarting his rehab program, but he'll get Andrews' opinion just to be on the safe side.

Daniel Hudson
D.L.
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.

J.J. Putz
D.L.
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.
