Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson told reporters Wednesday that J.J. Putz is still his closer.
Putz blew his third save of the season on Tuesday night against the Dodgers and owns a frightening 7.20 ERA on the year. But he's been the victim of some bad luck and still boasts a dominant 17/3 K/BB ratio in 15 innings. David Hernandez would likely get a chance at saves if Putz's struggles continue.
May 23 - 6:51 PM

Nick Piecoro on Twitter
J.J. Putz took his third blown save and loss after giving up two runs in the ninth against the Dodgers on Tuesday.
Putz's velocity has been better of late, so he'll probably survive this one. It's been an ugly year for him so far, but he did enter the night with a 16/1 K/BB ratio in 14 innings. If the Diamondbacks do decide to make a switch, it'd be to David Hernandez.
May 23 - 1:26 AM
J.J. Putz survived a rocky ninth inning on Thursday, giving up three singles to the first three hitters faced before closing out the game on a strikeout and a double play.
Putz picked up his seventh save in the process. He continues to close despite owning a 7.50 ERA and 1.58 WHIP. Opponents are batting .352 against him.
May 18 - 6:53 AM
Called on in a non-save situation in Wednesday's loss to the Cardinals, J.J. Putz allowed four runs on five hits in 2/3 of an inning.
Not what Putz needed in his first appearance in five days. Putz is an acceptable 6-for-8 in save opportunities, and has yet to issue a walk in 10 innings, but is now the owner of a 9.50 ERA and 1.50 WHIP. Putz is not yet on the verge of losing his job, but owners would be wise to at least monitor setup man David Hernandez.

Miguel Montero
Sidelined
Miguel Montero (groin) is out again Wednesday.
Montero suffered a left groin strain Monday while attempting to snag a foul pop-up and hasn't played since. Henry Blanco will start behind the plate on Wednesday night against the Dodgers and left-hander Ted Lilly.

Stephen Drew
D.L.
Stephen Drew (ankle) will play in one or two extended spring training games before beginning a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno.
The D'Backs had hoped that Drew could start a rehab assignment Sunday, but he's dealing with a bit of soreness in his surgically-repaired ankle and the team doesn't want to push the envelope. Assuming he does indeed begin playing for Reno soon, Drew should be ready to rejoin the big club in early June.

Diamondbacks transferred INF Geoff Blum from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.
Blum has been out since the middle of April because of a torn oblique muscle, and can now be ruled out for all of May. The veteran infielder opened the year 1-for-11.

Daniel Hudson (shoulder) will return on Sunday.
Hudson allowed two runs over five innings Monday night in a rehab start at Triple-A Reno and was given clearance to return to the major leagues on Tuesday afternoon. The 24-year-old right-hander has been on the disabled list since April 19 with a right shoulder impingement. He should be activated in all fantasy leagues this weekend.

Takashi Saito
D.L.
Takashi Saito threw a 21-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, his first since aggravating his right calf injury back on April 20.
It was clearly a pretty significant aggravation since he didn't get on a mound again for three and a half weeks. The D'Backs haven't offered a timetable on Saito, but he'll likely need a handful of successful bullpen sessions before being sent on a rehab assignment.
