Miguel Montero - C - Diamondbacks

Miguel Montero went 4-for-6 with an RBI and two runs scored as the Diamondbacks beat the Dodgers 8-6 in 12 innings on Wednesday.

After Cody Ross doubled and Montero singled, Martin Prado had the go-ahead hit in the 12th. Montero hadn't collected three hits in a game this season until busting out with four tonight. He entered the month of June with a .199 average, but he's hit .300 since.

Miguel Montero is not in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

The struggling backstop is getting a rest with the early start time. Wil Nieves will make the start behind the plate.

Miguel Montero - C - Diamondbacks

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.

May 11 - 12:47 AM

Miguel Montero - C - Diamondbacks

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.

Miguel Montero - C - Diamondbacks

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.

May 4 - 1:14 AM

Miguel Montero - C - Diamondbacks

Miguel Montero is batting .300/.385/.433 with one homer and seven RBI through the first nine games this season.

Montero has been batting cleanup against right-handers, which is obviously a productive spot in a pretty good D'Backs lineup. He'll be a top-10 fantasy catcher this season as long as he can stay healthy.

Miguel Montero - C - Diamondbacks

Miguel Montero (thumb) returned to the Diamondbacks' lineup Wednesday.

Montero missed time earlier this week with a thumb infection, but it's no longer a concern at this point. The injury was never considered serious and won't impact his status for Opening Day.

Miguel Montero - C - Diamondbacks

Miguel Montero was scratched from a second straight game Tuesday because of a swollen right thumb.

The Diamondbacks thought Montero was dealing with a splinter so they had the thumb drained on Monday. But nothing was found beyond the puss. "Hopefully he can play [Wednesday]," manager Kirk Gibson told reporters Tuesday in camp. "It's much better. It looked like it might be getting infected yesterday, so we've been treating that for that, and it seems like it's been calming down."

Montero finished the evening 3-for-5 with three runs scored and three RBI. He doubled home a pair of runs in the three-run third inning, and added an RBI single in the fourth. One of the most consistent offensive performers at the catcher position, Montero is enjoying another terrific season, hitting .294/.397/.457 with 15 homers and 88 RBI.

Miguel Montero - C - Diamondbacks

Miguel Montero delivered a pair of RBI doubles on Tuesday in Arizona, leading the Diamondbacks to a 3-2 victory over the visiting Padres.

Montero has proven again this season to be an extremely capable run producer. He's now hitting .290/.393/.452 with 15 home runs and 84 RBI in 128 games this year.

Miguel Montero - C - Diamondbacks

Miguel Montero’s RBI double accounted for all of the game’s offense as the Diamondbacks topped the Dodgers 1-0 in Arizona on Tuesday.

He finished the night 1-for-3. Paul Goldschmidt reached on an error to start the seventh inning and Montero smoked an RBI double to deep right field off Clayton Kershaw, delivering the Diamondbacks and Ian Kennedy a much needed victory. Montero is now hitting .285 with 15 homers and 82 RBI in another fantastic offensive season.

Depth Charts

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Miguel Montero
	2	Wil Nieves
1B	1	Paul Goldschmidt
	2	Eric Hinske
2B	1	Aaron Hill D.L. Aaron Hill (hand) experienced no problems when taking live batting practice on Friday, and will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on Saturday. Hill will remain with Triple-A Reno through Wednesday, and if all goes well could be cleared to return to the Diamondbacks' lineup as early as next weekend. Hill has been limited to just ten games on the season after sustaining the hand injury in early April. Jun 14
	2	Willie Bloomquist
	3	Josh Wilson
SS	1	Cliff Pennington
	2	Didi Gregorius
3B	1	Martin Prado
	2	Eric Chavez D.L. Eric Chavez (oblique) will start swinging a bat on Saturday. Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said Chavez has been "getting much better" of late. Out since late May, he seems likely to require a brief rehab assignment before returning, which should come later this month. Jun 14
LF	1	Jason Kubel
	2	Gerardo Parra
CF	1	Adam Eaton D.L. Adam Eaton (elbow) played in a simulated game on Saturday. Eaton served as the designated hitter, as he's still on a throwing program and can't play the outfield yet. The Diamondbacks have been mum on a timetable for the outfielder, but it's possible he could return prior to the All-Star break if he can avoid another setback. Jun 16
	2	A.J. Pollock
RF	1	Cody Ross
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Ian Kennedy Suspended Ian Kennedy has dropped the appeal of his 10-game suspension and will begin serving it on Monday. Kennedy doesn't think he deserved 10 games for his role in last week's brawl with the Dodgers, but with the D'Backs having a couple off days over the next week, it makes sense to drop the appeal. He'll be eligible to return on June 29. Jun 17
	2	Brandon McCarthy D.L. Brandon McCarthy (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session on Tuesday. It will be his first since a nagging shoulder injury sent him to the disabled list in late May. McCarthy was cleared to throw from the bump after long-tossing from 105 on Monday with no issues. It's not clear when he might be ready for a rehab assignment, but a return early next month seems likely. Jun 17
	3	Trevor Cahill
	4	Wade Miley
	5	Patrick Corbin
	6	Daniel Hudson D.L. Daniel Hudson has suffered a re-tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. Terrible news. Hudson, who had Tommy John surgery last July, suffered the re-tear during an extended spring training start on Tuesday. The 26-year-old right-hander was originally hoping to rejoin the Diamondbacks' rotation around midseason, he's now likely facing another surgery and an additional year of recovery time. Just brutal. If you had him stashed in a DL spot in your fantasy league, feel free to drop him now. Jun 7
	7	Randall Delgado
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	J.J. Putz D.L. J.J. Putz (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on Thursday. He'll remain with Reno through next Tuesday, as the D'Backs want him to appear in back-to-back games before being activated. Heath Bell has been scored upon in each of his last three outings and seems likely to cede the closer job back to Putz. Jun 18
	2	Heath Bell
	3	David Hernandez
	4	Matt Reynolds D.L. Matt Reynolds has been diagnosed with a slight tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow. Reynolds will receive a second opinion, but the plan for now is to shut him down for six weeks before he can hopefully begin a throwing program. Of course, anytime the UCL is compromised, the possibility of Tommy John surgery is there. Either way, it's unfortunate for the D'Backs bullpen, as Reynolds holds a 1.98 ERA and 1.10 WHIP this season. Jun 11
	5	Brad Ziegler
	6	Josh Collmenter
	7	Tony Sipp
	8	Will Harris
	9	Joe Paterson
