Didi Gregorius went 2-for-5 with a double and his first triple of the season in Sunday's extra-innings loss to the Phillies.
Gregorius was bumped to the No. 2 spot in the lineup when he returned from the DL, and he's continued to outperform his offensive expectations to this point. He still needs to prove that he can make adjustments as the season moves along, but there aren't many shortstops that are playing better than him right now. Gregorius is batting .362/.403/.655 through his first 15 games. May 12 - 8:41 PM

Didi Gregorius - SS - Diamondbacks

Didi Gregorius went 2-for-3 with a home run Sunday in his return to the lineup.

Gregorius was activated from the DL on Saturday, but didn't start. He homered off Edinson Volquez in his first at-bat and accounted for the Diamondbacks' lone run. Paul Goldschmidt was the only other D-Backs player to get a hit Sunday. Gregorius is batting .433/.469/.867 with a 1.335 OPS in eight games this season.

Didi Gregorius - SS - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks activated SS Didi Gregorius from the 7-day disabled list.

Gregorius hasn't played since being hit in the helmet by a pitch last Friday, but was cleared to resume baseball activities earlier this week. The 23-year-old was batting .407 (11-for-27) with two home runs and four doubles in seven games prior to landing on the DL. Gregorius should remain the Diamondbacks' everyday shortstop even when Aaron Hill (hand) returns. Cliff Pennington will slide into a backup role.

Didi Gregorius - SS - Diamondbacks

Didi Gregorius passed all concussion tests Tuesday and has been cleared to resume baseball activities.

"He'll take ground balls, swing and do everything today except play the game," D'Backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "He has passed everything he has needed to pass." Gibson added that Gregorius isn't a given to be activated on Saturday when first eligible, but it seems likely that he will be.

Didi Gregorius - SS - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks placed SS Didi Gregorius on the 7-day concussion disabled list.

A CT scan came back clean and the D'Backs don't think Gregorius will be out long. They're playing it safe with their young shortstop, who suffered a head contusion when he was struck by a fastball on Friday night.

Didi Gregorius - SS - Diamondbacks

Didi Gregorius (head) told reporters on Saturday afternoon that his CT scan looked good.

Gregorius was struck in the helmet Friday by a Josh Outman fastball and suffered a right temple contusion. The Diamondbacks will decide soon if he needs a stint on the 7-day concussion disabled list. He acknowledged Saturday that he's feeling pretty sore but not woozy.

Didi Gregorius - SS - Diamondbacks

Didi Gregorius was diagnosed with a right temple contusion and is considered day-to-day.

Gregorius was removed from Friday's game against the Rockies after he was hit in the helmet by a fastball from Josh Outman. He'll be examined further over the next few days to be on the safe side, but it sounds like he avoided a serious injury.

Didi Gregorius - SS - Diamondbacks

Didi Gregorius was removed from Friday's game against the Rockies after he was hit in the helmet by a fastball from Josh Outman.

Gregorius remained on the ground for a couple of minutes after taking the fastball off his helmet, but eventually got up and was able to walk off the field under his own power. The team is likely to play it very safe with a head injury, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Gregorius miss a couple of games.

Didi Gregorius - SS - Diamondbacks

Didi Gregorius wasn't in the lineup Thursday, but Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said the shortstop has "felt nothing in that elbow at all."

The D'Backs have given Gregorius a couple days off as they ease him back into things following a UCL sprain, but his red-hot start has probably resulted in him playing more than they originally intended. "He’s felt nothing in that elbow at all, but we do feel recovery days are important for everybody and certainly for a guy coming off an injury like that," Gibson said.

Didi Gregorius - SS - Diamondbacks

Didi Gregorius went 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles and a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Giants.

Gregorius also struck out a couple times, but he was the only D'Back to record more than one base knock. The youngster has been red-hot since last week's call-up, batting .400 with two homers and four doubles over his first 27 plate appearances. The league will figure him out eventually, but he can be used in all fantasy formats while he's hot.

Didi Gregorius - SS - Diamondbacks

Didi Gregorius went 2-for-3 with a home run in Sunday's win over the Rockies.

Gregorius has two home runs and a 1.765 OPS in his first three games since being activated from the disabled list. The Diamondbacks are saying that they don't want to use him as an everyday player right away, but it's looking like it's only a matter of time before he takes over as the starting shortstop. Gregorius could see regular playing time even when Aaron Hill returns.

Didi Gregorius - SS - Diamondbacks

Didi Gregorius homered on the first pitch he saw as a Diamondback and also added a double in his next at-bat in Thursday’s win over the Yankees.

Phil Hughes left a fastball out over the middle of the plate, and Gregorius lined it into the short porch in right field. The young infielder was retired in his final three at-bats, two via strikeout, but that hardly puts a damper on an impressive 2013 debut. We're skeptical of Gregorius' ability to hit right away (he's batted just .267/.319/.375 in the minors), but he's worth a gamble in fantasy leagues to see if he can get off to a nice start.

Didi Gregorius - SS - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers indicated Tuesday that Didi Gregorius will not be an everyday player right away.

Gregorius was forced to begin the season on the disabled list due to a UCL sprain in his right elbow, so the Diamondbacks are still being cautious about his workload. However, his return gives the Diamondbacks the option to use Cliff Pennington at second base while Aaron Hill is sidelined with a broken hand. Martin Prado started at second base Tuesday night while Eric Chavez played the hot corner, so Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson has many options at his disposal.

Didi Gregorius - SS - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks activated INF Didi Gregorius from the 15-day disabled list.

Gregorius replaces the injured Aaron Hill (hand) on the active roster. The 23-year-old was forced to begin the year on the DL with a UCL sprain, but he batted .387 (12-for-31) with two homers, two doubles and a stolen base over seven rehab games with Triple-A Reno. He could potentially take over as the starting shortstop while Cliff Pennington could fill in for Hill at second base.
