Wade Miley - S - Arizona Diamondbacks

Wade Miley held the Royals to just six hits in seven scoreless innings of work on Sunday, improving to 5-1 in Arizona's 2-0 road win.

Miley struck out three and walked two in completing seven innings of work for the first time in six starts this season. Clinging to his rotation spot with greater than anticipated ferocity, Miley is now the owner of a 2.14 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 30/14 K/BB ratio through 46 1/3 innings. He'll get the Brewers at home next weekend.

Stephen Drew - SS - Arizona Diamondbacks

Stephen Drew (ankle) will play in one or two extended spring training games before beginning a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno.

The D'Backs had hoped that Drew could start a rehab assignment Sunday, but he's dealing with a bit of soreness in his surgically-repaired ankle and the team doesn't want to push the envelope. Assuming he does indeed begin playing for Reno soon, Drew should be ready to rejoin the big club in early June.

Miguel Montero - C - Arizona Diamondbacks

Miguel Montero went 2-for-4 with two doubles in Friday's win over the Royals.

Montero piled up three RBI, driving in the go-ahead runs with a double in the eighth inning off Tim Collins. The 28-year-old is batting .264 with a .354 on-base percentage and 31 RBI in 35 games played this season for the Diamondbacks.

Joe Saunders - S - Arizona Diamondbacks

Joe Saunders gave up three runs over six innings Friday in a no-decision against the Royals.

Saunders struck out two and allowed eight hits. Of his 105 pitches, 67 were for strikes, and he issued just two walks. He's given up 15 earned runs in his last 14 1/3 innings and now has a mere 29 strikeouts in 50 2/3 innings this season. Stay away in mixed leagues.

Melvin Mora - 3B - Arizona Diamondbacks

Andrew Baggarly of CSNBayArea.com reports that the Giants didn't make an offer to Melvin Mora.

This conflicts with a Venezuelan newspaper report that claimed Mora was in negotiations with the Giants and expected to travel to the U.S. this weekend. According to Baggarly, the Giants had a ''one text conversation'' with Mora's agent, but there is ''absolutely no offer made.'' Mora is also reportedly considering an offer from the Reds, and prefers to sign with a team on the East Coast.

A.J. Pollock - OF - Arizona Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks optioned OF A.J. Pollock to Triple-A Reno.

He batted just .229/.278/.333 with one homer over 48 at-bats in his first go-round in the big leagues. Pollock was no longer needed with Chris Young back healthy.

Chris Young - OF - Arizona Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks activated OF Chris Young from the 15-day disabled list.

Young had been expected to spend the weekend at Triple-A Reno, but his rehab assignment went so well that the D'Backs went ahead and activated him. While they admit that his throwing might not be 100 percent, his hitting looks fine, which is all fantasy owners care about. Return him to your lineup immediately.
