Wade Miley - S - Diamondbacks

Wade Miley held the Marlins to two runs over six innings but suffered a loss on Sunday.

The left-hander struck out six and gave up just five hits and a walk, but the Marlins got a two-out single from Derek Dietrich followed by a two-RBI double from Marcell Ozuna in the sixth, and that's all they needed. Miley has won just one of his previous seven starts, but he still holds a solid 3.67 ERA and 1.33 WHIP on the year. He'll get the Padres next.

Willie Bloomquist - SS - Diamondbacks

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.

Jason Kubel - OF - Diamondbacks

Jason Kubel (quad) will return to the Diamondbacks' lineup Sunday.

Kubel still isn't totally over his left quad injury, so the club is taking it easy with him. He might continue to see more days off than normal as he tries to put the malady behind him.

Adam Eaton - OF - Diamondbacks

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.

Daniel Hudson - S - Diamondbacks

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.

Brandon McCarthy - S - Diamondbacks

Brandon McCarthy threw a three-hit shutout as the Diamondbacks beat the Marlins 1-0 on Saturday.

Everybody looks a little better facing the Marlins, but it's the second-straight outing that McCarthy has held the opponent scoreless and he's now turned in three consecutive quality starts. After his early struggles, McCarthy seems to have turned a corner. We look for him to be more consistent going forward. His next turn will come against the Padres on Friday.

Gerardo Parra - OF - Diamondbacks

Gerardo Parra hit a leadoff (but game-winning) home run against the Marlins on Saturday night.

Parra took Tom Koehler deep on the first pitch of the game, and it turned out to be all the scoring either team would do. The homer was Parra's only hit of the night, and he's now batting .327/.394/.506 on the year. The outfielder has often been the odd-man out in the Diamondbacks outfield -- Arizona expected Jason Kubel and Adam Eaton to be starting at this point -- but it's hard to see how the club will bench him when he's performing like this.
May 18 - 9:51 PM
Paul Goldschmidt - 1B - Diamondbacks

Paul Goldschmidt swatted a pair of two-run homers on Friday, powering the Diamondbacks to a 9-2 victory over the Marlins on Friday.

Goldschmidt finished the outstanding evening 4-for-5 with four runs scored and four RBI. He opened the scoring in the first inning with his first two-run blast off Kevin Slowey, then repeated the feat on the 13th pitch of his next at-bat in the third inning, which included fouling off seven two-strike offerings. He’s been an absolute monster thus far, hitting .338/.421/.656 with 12 homers, 35 RBI and four stolen bases.
May 17 - 9:59 PM
Trevor Cahill - S - Diamondbacks

Trevor Cahill was terrific in Friday’s victory over the Marlins, surrendering only one run on five hits over his eight innings.

Cahill walked four and struck out four on the night. The only blemish on his evening was an RBI single by Rob Brantly in the seventh inning. The 25-year-old righty has been extremely impressive in the early part of the season, posting a 2.33 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 43/24 K/BB ratio over 58 innings. He’ll look to continue that dominance when he does battle against the Rockies in Colorado on Wednesday.
May 17 - 9:57 PM
Jason Kubel - OF - Diamondbacks

Jason Kubel has been out of the starting lineup the past two games after aggravating his left quadriceps injury.

The injury forced him onto the disabled list earlier this season. "Just trying to get over that," Kubel said. "We decided to give it a few days rest." Kubel was batting .333/.375/.600 with two homers and six RBI before going down with the injury on April 9 and he's struggled mightily since, batting .167 since his activation. Arizona begins a three-game series Friday against Florida and Kubel's former Twins teammate Kevin Slowey. Cody Ross and A.J. Pollock will pick up additional at-bats if Kubel can't play.

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
Eric Chavez - 3B - Diamondbacks

Eric Chavez delivered an RBI single and a two-run double in the Diamondbacks' 5-3 victory over the Braves on Wednesday.

Both hits came off old A's teammate Tim Hudson. Playing more than anticipated with Aaron Hill sidelined, Chavez is batting .301 with four homers and 16 RBI in 85 at-bats, which is one reason the Diamondbacks are off to a nice start at 23-18.
May 15 - 6:58 PM
Heath Bell - R - Diamondbacks

Despite surrendering a double in the ninth, Heath Bell picked up his second save in two days Wednesday against the Braves.

B.J. Upton nearly plated a run with a hard shot up the middle with two outs, but Martin Prado grabbed it and threw to first to end the game. The Diamondbacks had a two-run lead anyway, so it wouldn't have been the end of the world. Bell has five saves in six opportunities the last eight days.
May 15 - 6:55 PM
Patrick Corbin - S - Diamondbacks

Patrick Corbin pitched three-hit ball for seven innings in the Diamondbacks' 2-0 win over the Braves on Tuesday.

Corbin walked a season-high five batters tonight, but it didn't hurt him as he limited Atlanta's lineup to a double and two singles. He's gone eight straight starts this year without allowing more than two runs. If not for two J.J. Putz blown saves, he'd be 8-0 at the moment.
May 15 - 12:41 AM
Heath Bell - R - Diamondbacks

After blowing Sunday's opportunity, Heath Bell pitched a scoreless ninth for a save Tuesday against the Braves.

Bell pitched around a Paul Goldschmidt error, striking out two of the four batters he faced. That came after David Hernandez struck out the side in the eighth. Bell is now 5-for-6 in his save opportunities this year. Technically, he does have two blown saves, but the first came in the seventh inning of a game last month.
