Martin Prado went 1-for-4 Monday against the Marlins.

Owners hoping for Prado to shake his season-long slump as the weather began heating up have been disappointed, as June has been the veteran's worst at the plate thus far. Prado hasn't hit a homer since late-April and has logged an RBI in just two games this month. He's batting an anemic .244/.296/.335 in his first season in Arizona. Jun 18 - 4:40 AM

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado went 4-for-4 with two doubles Sunday in a win against the Padres.

Prado has put together two straight multi-hit games after going 3-for-4 on Saturday and looks to be moving in the right direction. He's batting .277/.304/.361 with four doubles and three RBI in May after a sluggish start to the season.

May 26 - 7:42 PM

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado went 0-for-4 on Wednesday and has fallen into a 2-for-19 slump.

Prado is still hitting for a better average this month and he did in April, but that's not saying much. He's gone 12 straight games without scoring a run. He has two runs scored and four RBI in 20 games overall for the month. And not only is his season OBP a lousy .283, but he's been caught on three of his four steal attempts. Good thing the Diamondbacks gave him that four-year, $40 million deal before some team could blow them out of the water this winter.

May 22 - 6:13 PM

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado is batting .275 in May.

Slowly but surely, Prado is digging himself out of an awful early-season slump. In his first month with the Snakes, Prado slashed an anemic .217/.266/.348. Over 15 games this month, he's batting a reasonable .275/.339/.333. It's certainly not the start Arizona expected after acquiring Prado in the Justin Upton trade and subsequently signed him to a four-year, $40 million contract extension. Sporting his trademark multi-position eligibility and playing in cozy Chase Field, now might be the time to buy low. Prado entered the year a .319/.370/.447 career hitter in Arizona.

May 17 - 3:00 AM

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado went 0-for-5 and grounded into a double play on Friday, dropping his average to .218.

Prado isn't exactly matching Justin Upton's production so far. He does have three homers, but he's in a 6-for-44 slump and he hasn't driven in a run in eight games.

Apr 27 - 1:10 AM

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado reached all four times up Friday, going 2-for-2 with two walks and an RBI.

The RBI came on a bases-loaded walk. But despite reaching four times, Prado never did come around to score tonight. It's kind of odd, considering he had scored 10 runs with a .298 OBP in his first nine games.

Apr 13 - 1:04 AM

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado is batting just .273/.298/.409 with one homer and four RBI this season.

The offseason trade acquisition is off to a bit of a slow start so far. Prado still holds plenty of fantasy appeal in his first season in the desert, though, especially with his multi-position eligibility.

Apr 12 - 12:00 PM

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks signed 3B Martin Prado to a four-year, $40 million contract extension.

The four-year deal covers Prado's final season of arbitration eligibility and his first three seasons of free agency. Prado was dealt from the Braves to the Snakes last week in the seven-player Justin Upton trade. He batted .301/.359/.438 with 10 home runs, 70 RBI and 17 stolen bases in 156 games last summer for Atlanta, and should get a slight boost in fantasy value in Arizona.

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports that the Diamondbacks are "quite optimistic" about soon agreeing to a three- or four-year extension with Martin Prado.

Prado is currently due to become a free agent following the 2013 season, but the Diamondbacks picked him up from the Braves on Thursday with the idea of keeping him for the long-term. The 29-year-old batted .301/.359/.438 with 10 homers, 70 RBI and 17 steals in 156 games last season for Atlanta and is slated to be Arizona's starting third baseman moving forward.

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

The Diamondbacks are "confident" they can work out a long-term extension with newly-acquired third baseman Martin Prado, according to CBS Sports' Danny Knobler.

The two sides have already had discussions about a new deal. Prado, who turned 29 years old in October, is currently scheduled to become a free agent after the 2013 season. He hit .301/.359/.438 with 10 homers, 70 RBI and 17 steals in 156 games last summer for the Braves and was moved Thursday in the seven-player Justin Upton trade. Prado is likely to be expensive.

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks acquired 3B Martin Prado from the Braves in the seven-player Justin Upton trade.

Prado is scheduled to become a free agent after the 2013 season but the Snakes have already begun negotiations toward a long-term contract extension. The dynamic 29-year-old hit .301/.359/.438 with 10 home runs, 70 RBI and 17 stolen bases in 156 games last season for the Braves. He's a .319/.370/.447 career hitter at Arizona's Chase Field and should carry a ton of fantasy value this summer.

Jan 24 - 1:26 PM

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

According to Jack Magruder of FOX Sports Southwest, the Diamondbacks plan to sign a long-term extension "soon" with newly-acquired third baseman Martin Prado.

Prado is headed to Arizona in the yet-to-be-finalized Justin Upton blockbuster. The 29-year-old is currently scheduled to hit the free agent market after the 2013 season. He batted .301/.359/.438 with 10 home runs, 70 RBI and 17 steals in 156 games last summer for Atlanta and will hold major fantasy potential in Arizona.

Jan 24 - 12:09 PM

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado requested $7.05 million and was offered $6.65 million from the Braves when arbitration figures were exchanged Friday.

Prado is arbitration-eligible for the final time this winter after batting .301/.359/.438 with 10 home runs, 70 RBI and a .796 OPS in 156 games last season. There isn't much of a difference between the two sides, but various reports have indicated that the Braves would go to an arbitration hearing with any players who didn't sign before Friday's filing deadline.

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado is expected to move to third base next season.

Things could change depending on who the Braves are able to add over the offseason, but the reality is that it will be much easier for them to find an outfielder than a third baseman. It's nice having someone as flexible as Prado, who played 25 games at the hot corner in 2012 and has started 146 games at the position during his career.

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's win over the Marlins.

The home run was Prado's 10th of the year, giving him at least 10 bombs in every season where he's played at least 100 games. He's hitting .306/.361/.441. The on-base percentage would be a new career best for a full campaign by three points.

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	Eric Chavez D.L. Eric Chavez (oblique) could begin a rehab assignment as soon as next week. "Everything has been good -- hitting, running, throwing," Chavez said. "I didn't know really what to expect, but [it's] gone really good." Chavez has already missed three weeks of action and doesn't figure to be activated until the tail end of June, at the earliest. Jun 19
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 Sidelined Trevor Cahill (hip) is expected to be ready for his next start. Cahill had to leave Wednesday's game after taking a first-inning Marcell Ozuna line drive off his right hip. His removal was a precaution, though, and he'll be fine for a start early next week against the Nationals. Jun 19
	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
