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. May 13 - 8:09 PM

Aaron Hill - 2B - Diamondbacks

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.

Aaron Hill - 2B - Diamondbacks

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.

Aaron Hill - 2B - Diamondbacks

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.

Aaron Hill - 2B - Diamondbacks

Aaron Hill (hand) is expected to be out 4-6 weeks.

Hill was placed on the disabled list Tuesday after an MRI taken Monday evening revealed a small fracture in his left hand. The Diamondbacks activated Didi Gregorius in a corresponding move and will likely start him at shortstop with Cliff Pennington shifting to second. Hill's injury is a massive blow to the Snakes.

Aaron Hill - 2B - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks placed 2B Aaron Hill on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to April 15, with a broken left hand.

It's unclear how long Hill will be sidelined, but it's a huge loss for the Diamondbacks. Martin Prado is starting at second base Tuesday night against the Yankees and could see more playing time there in the days ahead. The Diamondbacks activated Didi Gregorius (elbow) from the disabled list in a corresponding roster move, which opens the door for the possibility of Cliff Pennington playing some second base.

Aaron Hill - 2B - Diamondbacks

Aaron Hill (wrist) is out of Monday's lineup against the Yankees.

Hill left Sunday's game with wrist soreness and underwent an MRI on Monday, but the results aren't yet known. Martin Prado will make the start at second base Tuesday while Eric Chavez will play third.

Aaron Hill - 2B - Diamondbacks

Aaron Hill underwent an MRI on his left wrist Monday.

The Diamondbacks are still reviewing the results of the MRI, but they're preparing for the possibility that their second baseman might need a trip to the disabled list. Didi Gregorius would be an option to take Hill's spot on the roster.

Aaron Hill - 2B - Diamondbacks

X-rays to Aaron Hill's left wrist came back negative.

Hill was removed from Sunday's game in the fourth inning with left wrist soreness. The Diamondbacks are still calling him day-to-day, but he'll undergo an MRI early next week to rule out anything serious. He missed the last four games with a bruised left hand, so it's likely a setback of his previous injury.

LF	1	Jason Kubel Sidelined 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. May 17

CF	1	Adam Eaton D.L. 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. May 11

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. Apr 29
