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. May 19 - 8:44 AM

Jason Kubel - OF - Diamondbacks

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.

Jason Kubel - OF - Diamondbacks

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.

Apr 30 - 1:17 AM

Jason Kubel - OF - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks activated OF Jason Kubel from the 15-day disabled list.

Kubel had been slated to play in rehab game on Monday and Tuesday, but the D'Backs have obviously scrapped that plan and decided to activate him a few days early. The outfielder was batting .333/.375/.600 with two homers and six RBI before going down with a quad injury on April 9.

Apr 28 - 12:37 PM

Jason Kubel - OF - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said Saturday that Jason Kubel (quadriceps) will play minor league rehab games on Monday and Tuesday at Triple-A Reno.

Which would put the outfielder in line to return on Wednesday, May 1 for the Snakes' series-finale with the Giants. Kubel has been on the disabled list since April 13 with a strained left quad. He homered and finished 3-for-4 Saturday in an extended spring training game.

Jason Kubel - OF - Diamondbacks

Jason Kubel (quad) went 3-for-4 with a home run Saturday in an extended spring training game.

Kubel is hoping to return to the Diamondbacks' starting lineup on Monday -- the first day that he is eligible for activation. He has been on the 15-day disabled list since April 13 because of a strained left quad.

Jason Kubel - OF - Diamondbacks

Jason Kubel (quad) was the designated hitter during an extended spring training game on Thursday.

It's his first game action since he landed on the DL on April 13 with a strained left quad. When he'll be allowed to play the outfield isn't clear, but Kubel isn't far away from rejoining the D'Backs lineup.

Apr 26 - 8:44 AM

Jason Kubel - OF - Diamondbacks

Jason Kubel (quad) is not expected to return from the disabled list when first eligible.

Kubel had an MRI on Saturday that revealed a minor setback so the Diamondbacks are going to shut him down for the next couple of days. He was expected to return on April 28, but that obviously won't be happening.

Apr 21 - 4:31 PM

Jason Kubel - OF - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks placed OF Jason Kubel on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left quad.

Kubel suffered the strain on Tuesday and hadn't made enough improvement by this weekend. He'll look to return to action by the end of April. Cody Ross was activated from the disabled list in a corresponding move.

Apr 13 - 7:22 PM

Jason Kubel - OF - Diamondbacks

Jason Kubel (quad) could be placed on the 15-day DL.

Kubel has been out since Tuesday with a left quadriceps injury that is not making swift enough improvement. He underwent an MRI on Saturday afternoon -- the results of which should be available by Saturday night. The Diamondbacks will activate Cody Ross (calf) from the disabled list if they put Kubel on it.

Jason Kubel - OF - Diamondbacks

Jason Kubel (quad) is not in the Diamondbacks' starting lineup on Friday.

Kubel has been out of the lineup since Tuesday with a left quad issue, but his condition has improved over the past couple of days. It sounds like he'll avoid a trip to the DL, but could still be questionable for the remainder of the weekend. Alfredo Marte is drawing the start in left field on Friday.

Jason Kubel - OF - Diamondbacks

Jason Kubel is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Pirates.

Jason Kubel - OF - Diamondbacks

Jason Kubel is not in the Diamondbacks' lineup Tuesday.

He's sitting against Cardinals' lefty Jaime Garcia, with Alfredo Marte getting the start in left field. Kubel is a career .238/.308/.382 hitter against southpaws and will likely see plenty of time off against them this season.

Jason Kubel - OF - Diamondbacks

Jason Kubel (ankle) slugged a solo home run in his return to Cactus League action Friday against the Reds.

Good news for the Diamondbacks. Kubel made an early exit on Tuesday due to left ankle discomfort, but all signs point to him being ready for Opening Day.

Mar 30 - 12:19 AM

Jason Kubel - OF - Diamondbacks

Jason Kubel (ankle) took seven at-bats Wednesday in a minor league game and also ran the bases.

Nice to hear, considering that Kubel left Tuesday's Cactus League game with left ankle discomfort. He should be fine for Opening day.

C	1	Miguel Montero

	2	Eric Hinske
2B	1	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. May 21
	2	Willie Bloomquist D.L. 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. May 19

LF	1	Jason Kubel

CF	1	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. May 23

	6	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. May 19
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	J.J. Putz D.L. J.J. Putz (elbow) has been playing catch from 90 feet and doing strengthening exercises, Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said Saturday. There is still no timetable for a return, and the Diamondbacks will proceed with caution with their 36-year-old closer. But it's promising that Putz is back to throwing less than a month after there were reports he could need season-ending surgery to fix his elbow problems. May 25
