The Diamondbacks OF depth is taking a hit with three players dealing with injuries. Socrates Brito broke a finger sliding into home plate head-first, which prompted manager Torey Lovullo to chew out his team after another player slid head-first into 1st base. AJ Pollock is battling a minor groin strain, which isn’t likely to affect his availability for Opening Day. Today we now know what’s been plaguing Tomas this week.
The Diamondbacks are prepared for such a run of injuries with the additions of Jeremy Hazelbaker and Gregor Blanco in the offseason. Blanco has looked solid in Spring at the plate and in the field.
