[AZ Central] Arizona Diamondbacks in on right-handed bats to platoon at DH - The Arizona Diamondbacks are looking into coupling a right-handed hitter at DH with newly acquired left-handed bat Joc Pederson, per Mark Feinsand of MLB Network. As Feinsand points to in his tweet, three candidates for the spot could be Randal Grichuk, Tommy Pham and Adam Duvall. When it comes to hitting left-handed pitching, Feinsand notes that Grichuk has fared the best, at least according to OPS. Grichuk's .995 OPS against lefties last season towers over Pham's .787 and Duvall's .756.
