Tony Campana tripled and drove in two runs in the Diamondbacks loss to the Giants on Wednesday.

It was a good showing for the 26-year-old, who is making a late push to be on the Diamondbacks Opening Day roster. Campana's chances are likely aided by the injuries to fellow outfielders Adam Eaton and Cody Ross. If he makes the team, Campana will likely be utilized as a pinch runner for his blazing speed -- he stole 30 bases for the Cubs in 2012.

The laceration on Tony Campana's left hand re-opened during his second game back Thursday.

Campana will have to pay another visit to the doctor and seems likely to require stitches again. His status for Opening Day is uncertain. "I got jammed," he said, referring to his at-bat in the bottom of the seventh. "I didn’t even notice that it happened and then I got back to the dugout and I was about to go onto the field and I looked down and my hand was bleeding."

Tony Campana has been diagnosed with a left hand laceration.

Campana suffered the injury Thursday while trying to steal second base in a Cactus League game and required eight stitches. The speedy outfielder should be ready to return to action within a week or so.
Mar 7 - 5:45 PM

Tony Campana exited Thursday's Cactus League game with an apparent hand injury.

Campana suffered the injury while attempting to steal second base in the first inning. He was holding his hand as he left the field and appeared to be in quite a bit of pain, so we could be talking about a serious injury.

Tony Campana had a two-run double and a triple in a win over the Cubs on Friday.

Revenge against his former club. Of course, Campana was acquired from the Cubs earlier this month in exchange for right-handers Erick Leal and Jesus Castillo. The 26-year-old outfielder is 54-for-59 in stolen base attempts in the majors, but he's unlikely to secure a spot on Arizona's Opening Day roster unless there's an injury.
Mar 1 - 7:14 PM

Diamondbacks acquired OF Tony Campana from the Cubs for RHP Erick Leal and RHP Jesus Castillo.

Campana was designated for assignment by the Cubs last week to clear a roster spot for Scott Hairston. The 26-year-old outfielder batted just .264/.308/.299 with no home runs in 89 games last season, but he has swiped 54 career bases in 59 career tries. He can provide a nice element of speed off the Arizona bench.

Cubs designated OF Tony Campana for assignment.

The move was made in order to clear room on the 40-man roster for Scott Hairston. Campana is extremely limited as a player, but he could receive some interest on waivers due to his blazing speed.
Feb 10 - 2:15 PM

Cubs recalled OF Tony Campana from Triple-A Iowa.

An expected move, but it's now official. Campana doesn't have a clear path to playing time behind Brett Jackson, but could make semi-regular starts against right-handed pitching.

Cubs manager Dale Sveum confirmed he plans to promote Tony Campana as a September call-up.

"The way the roster is and everything, I don’t know how many we'll bring up," Sveum said. "I’m sure Campana will be one of them. He just needed to go down and play, and that’s what he’s done." In addition to Campana, Jeff Beliveau, Adrian Cardenas and Chris Rusin are expected to be on the Cubs' short-list of September callups.

Cubs optioned OF Tony Campana to Triple-A Iowa.

Campana was a sneaky waiver wire addition earlier this season with his ability to swipe a bag, but his playing time had been cut dramatically since Anthony Rizzo's arrival and was due to drop even more with Brett Jackson coming up. He managed to swipe 26 bases in 70 games despite hitting just .259/.299/.291.

Tony Campana went 2-for-5 and swiped three bases in the Cubs' 4-3 victory over the Tigers on Tuesday.

Campana now has 21 steals on the season, passing Emilio Bonifacio for the major league lead. Though he isn't playing every day and only has 117 at-bats on the year, he's been a fantasy force with his tremendous speed.

Tony Campana went 1-for-4 with a walk and a pair of stolen bases in Monday's loss to the Astros.

Campana now has 12 stolen bases this season, despite appearing in just 28 games. His .306 batting average has been the real surprise, though. The speedy 25-year-old remains a fine option in five-outfielder mixed formats or for anyone looking to catch up in the stolen base department.

Tony Campana went 3-for-5 with a run scored and stolen base in Sunday's win over the Brewers.

The theft was Campana's eighth of the season, though just his first in 11 May games. Nevertheless, he's hitting an excellent .350/.391/.417 since being recalled on April 21. That won't hold up for much longer, but Campana remains worth an own in deeper mixed leagues if you're desperate for speed.
Sun, May 13, 2012 05:46:00 PM

Tony Campana stole his seventh base of the season in Monday's loss to the Phillies.

Campana went hitless for just the second time since his call up, but he's still hitting .370 (10-for-27) with seven runs scored. We don't expect the batting average to last and he doesn't have any power to speak of, but the speed is absolutely for real. He's a must-own in NL-only leagues and is even worth a look in deeper mixed leagues if you're hurting for speed.
