Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

ESPN's Jim Bowden reports that the Blue Jays have scouted Martin Prado, Aaron Hill and Chase Headley "heavily."

We already knew about Headley, but the Blue Jays being connected to Hill and Prado is new. The Jays would like to add a bat at either third or second base, with the idea that Brett Lawrie would play the other position. Prado (.268/.313/.360), Hill (.248/.285/.368) and Headley (.202/.287/.318) are all having disappointing seasons. Headley will be a free agent after the season, while Prado and Hill are under contract through 2016.

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado went 3-for-4 and hit his third homer Saturday against the Dodgers.

It's Prado's fourth three-hit game of the month, and he's hitting .358 in June, though that comes with just one walk and four RBI in 53 at-bats. He still figures to get better, but he's been a bust in fantasy leagues to date.

Jun 15 - 12:52 AM

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado hit a home run in his second straight game Wednesday versus the Padres.

Prado finished 2-for-5 with three RBI and two runs scored. His second inning two-run shot off Padres long reliever Donn Roach followed an eight-run opening stanza and gave Arizona a 10-0 lead. Prado went 52 games without a long fly but now has two in the past 48 hours; he's also collected an extra-base hit in four straight. Perhaps he can salvage his fantasy stock for disappointed mixed league owners after all. Prado is now slashing .267/.315/.364 with 24 RBI.

May 29 - 1:14 AM

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado hit a solo home run -- his first round tripper of the year -- in Tuesday's home loss to the Padres.

Prado finished 1-for-4. The veteran third baseman's slugging percentage is down for the third straight year, and his current .348 mark would easily be the worst of his career if it held. In other words, it was good to see him put one in the seats. Prado has been a fantasy dud with a .264 average, zero steals and 21 RBI.

May 28 - 12:44 AM

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado went 1-for-3 with an RBI triple and a run scored in a losing effort against the Mets in the nightcap of Sunday's twinbill.

Prado is off to a slow start at the dish this season, hitting .255/.303/.321 with zero home runs and 19 RBI. While his multi-position eligibility is nice, fantasy owners may have a hard time sticking with him unless he can pick up the production offensively.

Martin Prado's vision checked out fine Monday.

Prado left Sunday's game due to blurred vision in his left eye, but it's not considered serious. He should be back in action soon.

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado was removed from Sunday's game against the Dodgers due to blurred vision in his left eye.

Eric Chavez came on to replace Prado. It's unclear at this time how serious the injury may be and what type of potential timetable he may miss. The Diamondbacks should have an update on his status after Sunday's game.

May 18 - 5:59 PM

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado went 2-for-5 with an RBI single in a win over the White Sox on Sunday.

The RBI was just his 12th of the year. Prado is still hitting an unsightly .248/.288/.307 on the year, but he's had two hits in each of his past two games. Maybe he's ready to go on a run at the plate.

Martin Prado is not in the Diamondbacks' lineup Sunday.

He's just getting a day of rest. Eric Chavez is playing third base Sunday in Prado's place. Chris Owings is also sitting out, as Cliff Pennington is covering shortstop.

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado went 3-for-4 in Wednesday's loss to the Mets.

Prado had just two hits in his previous 20 at-bats coming into the game. The third baseman didn't cross the plate, as the scuffling Diamondbacks' offense registered only two solo home runs on the day, but he's still scored 10 runs through the team's first 18 games.

Martin Prado is not in the Diamondbacks' lineup Sunday.

It's just a routine day off. Eric Chavez is handling the hot corner Sunday in Prado's place. Miguel Montero is also getting a breather, as Tuffy Gosewisch is catching Trevor Cahill.

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Tuesday's loss to the Giants.

They were all singles, but Prado will take it after he entered the game hitting just .216. Unfortunately for the Diamondbacks, no one else had more than one hit and they mustered just seven base knocks total. Prado has batted cleanup in every game this season for Arizona.

Martin Prado was removed from Friday's contest against the Rockies due to a lacerated left index finger.

No stitches were required, and the D'Backs are calling him day-to-day. He may get Saturday off as a precaution, but shouldn't miss any extended period of time.

Depth Charts

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Miguel Montero
	2	Tuffy Gosewisch
	3	Jordan Pacheco D.L. Diamondbacks placed C Jordan Pacheco on the 15-day disabled list with right shoulder tendinitis. Pacheco has served primarily in a backup role with the Diamondbacks since being claimed on June 12. Reliever Zeke Spruill was recalled to take his roster spot. Jun 25
1B	1	Paul Goldschmidt
2B	1	Aaron Hill
	2	Cliff Pennington D.L. Cliff Pennington needs surgery to repair a sprained ligament in his left thumb and is expected to be sidelined for two months. Pennington initially suffered the injury last week and was finally put on the DL Tuesday when he didn't experience any improvement. Didi Gregorius took his place on the active roster. Jun 3
SS	1	Chris Owings D.L. Chris Owings (shoulder) has yet to resume hitting. Owings' bruised left shoulder is still not feeling 100 percent, and he won't be cleared to swing a bat until it gets there. Obviously it's looking like he won't be ready to return from the disabled list later this week when he's first eligible. Jul 7
	2	Didi Gregorius
3B	1	Martin Prado
	2	Eric Chavez D.L. Diamondbacks transferred 3B Eric Chavez from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears room on the 40-man roster for Nick Ahmed. Chavez, who is dealing with a sprained left knee, now won't be eligible to return until August. Jun 29
LF	1	Mark Trumbo
	2	Cody Ross
	3	Ender Inciarte
CF	1	A.J. Pollock D.L. Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson indicated Tuesday that A.J. Pollock (hand) could be ready to begin a rehab assignment on August 1. Making his way back from surgery to repair a fractured right hand, Pollock is close to resuming baseball activities. The August 1 timetable for a rehab assignment sounds right, as the D'Backs had looked at mid-August as a possible return date for the outfielder. He was batting .316/.366/.554 with six homers, 15 RBI and eight steals before breaking his hand in late May. Jul 9
	2	David Peralta
RF	1	Gerardo Parra
	2	Roger Kieschnick
	3	Nick Evans
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Wade Miley
	2	Bronson Arroyo D.L. Bronson Arroyo has decided to undergo Tommy John surgery. Arroyo had been hoping to rehab the sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, but he had an MRI last month which showed the UCL had come completely off the bone. A date for surgery hasn't been set, but having the operation soon should give him a chance to return in the second half of 2015. Arroyo, 37, said Monday that he's determined to pitch for a couple more seasons. Jul 7
	3	Vidal Nuno
	4	Josh Collmenter
	5	Chase Anderson
	6	Daniel Hudson D.L. Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said Tuesday that Daniel Hudson (elbow) probably won't begin a rehab assignment until August. He'll then be activated at some point in September if all goes well. Working his way back from Tommy John surgery, Hudson will return as a reliever this season before presumably stretching back out as a starter next spring. Jun 24
	7	Patrick Corbin D.L. Diamondbacks transferred LHP Patrick Corbin to the 60-day disabled list. This is merely a procedural move, as Corbin will miss the entire 2014 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. The Diamondbacks hope that he'll be ready to return early in the 2015 season. Apr 5
	8	Mike Bolsinger
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Addison Reed
	2	Brad Ziegler
	3	Oliver Perez
	4	Randall Delgado
	5	Evan Marshall
	6	Matt Stites
	7	David Hernandez D.L. Diamondbacks transferred RHP David Hernandez from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot for Mike Bolsinger on the 40-man roster. Hernandez had Tommy John surgery on April 1 and will miss the entire 2014 season. Apr 14
	8	Matt Reynolds D.L. Matt Reynolds (elbow) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session Tuesday. It was his first time throwing from a mound since last September's Tommy John surgery. "He's pretty pumped up about it," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "I think it's exciting." Reynolds remains hopeful of making a late-season return, but it's far from a guarantee. Jun 11
