A.J. Pollock homered, doubled in two runs, walked and stole a base versus the Padres on Saturday.

Pollock, who was supposed to open the season in the minors until Arizona's outfield fell apart, has four homers, 10 doubles and five steals this season. Sure, he also has a 17/3 K/BB ratio, but he's been a heck of a fill-in so far. May 5 - 12:40 AM

A.J. Pollock - OF - Diamondbacks

A.J. Pollock homered twice, doubled and knocked in four runs in the Diamondbacks' 10-2 win over the Pirates on Wednesday.

Pollock was expected to open this season in Triple-A, but that was before both Adam Eaton and Cody Ross got hurt. As is, he's starting in center field most of the time, and today's game should help keep him in the lineup. He entered the day hitless since going 3-for-4 with a double in the Diamondbacks' opener on April 1.

Apr 10 - 6:54 PM

A.J. Pollock - OF - Diamondbacks

A.J. Pollock (abdominal strain) returned to the Diamondbacks' lineup Thursday as the designated hitter.

Pollock still can't play the field, as he only feels pain in the abdominal area when he exerts himself throwing. It shouldn't be too much longer until he returns to the outfield.

A.J. Pollock - OF - Diamondbacks

A.J. Pollock was scratched from Saturday's Cactus League game with slight abdominal tightness.

It's probably safe to call him day-to-day for now, but any injury figures to significantly reduce his chances of making the Opening Day roster. Adam Eaton has replaced Pollock in the Diamondbacks' lineup.

A.J. Pollock - OF - Diamondbacks

A.J. Pollock has been scratched from Saturday's Cactus League game with an undisclosed injury.

The severity isn't yet known, but Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports that it's "some kind of side injury." Pollock batted .247/.315/.395 in 31 games during his brief time with the Diamondbacks last season and is likely to be organizational depth again in 2013.

2B	1	Aaron Hill D.L. 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
	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

CF	1	Adam Eaton D.L. Adam Eaton (elbow) played five innings in center field for High-A Visalia on Friday. It's the first time he's played the field during his rehab assignment, as he had been limited to DH duty. Eaton was scheduled to play the field again on Saturday before being re-evaluated by the Diamondbacks. He should be activated before the end of the month. Manager Kirk Gibson said he's "not really worried about" finding enough playing time for all the members of a deep group of outfielders. "If we have guys, we’ll find places for them to play," the manager added. May 19

	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

R	1	J.J. Putz D.L. J.J. Putz will not require major elbow surgery. Putz has been diagnosed with a sprained ligament, a strained flexor pronator and nerve irritation in his right elbow -- all of which can be addressed through rehab. He will try to return before the end of the 2013 season. Heath Bell has taken over Arizona's ninth-inning gig. May 9
