Pollock (thumb) is slated to receive a follow-up CT scan Monday, the Associated Press reports.

Pollock has been sidelined since mid-May with the fractured thumb and continues to wear a protective cast on the digit to aid his healing. Now nearing the four-week point in his recovery, Pollock is hopeful that doctors will clear him to remove the cast Moneday, thereby allowing him to resume baseball activity. A firmer timeline for Pollock's return from the disabled list should become available once he progresses to the point of playing in minor-league rehab games, but it remains possible that he'll be sidelined through the All-Star break. When Pollock first suffered the injury, the Diamondbacks indicated that he could need up to eight weeks to fully heal.

Mathis, known as a defensive specialist, owns a 3.17 catchers ERA, which ranks fifth in the NL.

The D-backs will rely on John Ryan Murphy and Alex Avila to assume the catching duties in Mathis’ absence.

It was not made clear when Mathis will return to the club.

Diamondbacks' Steven Souza: Slated for follow-up MRI
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Souza (pectoral) is scheduled to undergo a follow-up MRI on Monday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

If Souza's scans reveal that his strained right pectoral muscle has healed as expected, he could be cleared to resume a throwing program at some point this week. After being shut down in mid-May, Souza has since resumed facing pitching in live batting practice, but taking part in throwing exercises would provide a better barometer of his health.

Diamondbacks' Robbie Ray: Cleared for rehab stint
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Ray (oblique) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with High-A Visalia on Tuesday, Jack Magruder of The Sports Xchange reports.

Ray came through Monday's bullpen session with no issues, clearing the way for him to embark on a rehab assignment. Seeing as he's been sidelined since the end of April with an oblique strain, the left-hander will likely need to make multiple rehab appearances before being cleared to rejoin the Diamondbacks. That said, if all goes well during his rehab assignment, a return before the end of June isn't out of the question.

Diamondbacks' Steven Souza: Begins throwing program
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Souza (pectoral) began a throwing program Wednesday, The Arizona Republic reports.

Souza threw from a distance of 45 feet for around five minutes. He's scheduled to throw again either Friday or Saturday before undergoing another MRI on Monday. If everything checks out OK, Souza will hopefully start to increase both the distance and intensity of his throwing next week before eventually being cleared for live action. The outfielder has been on the disabled list since May 22 with a strained pectoral.

Diamondbacks' Silvino Bracho: Shuttled back to minors
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Bracho was optioned to Triple-A Reno.

After pitching on consecutive days, Bracho was sent back to the minors following Wednesday's loss to the Pirates in order to free up a roster spot for Jorge De La Rosa (Achilles), who was activated from the disabled list in a corresponding move prior to Thursday's series opener against the Mets. Bracho owns an impressive 1.42 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB across 12.2 innings this season, so look for him to rejoin the big-league bullpen when bullpen help is once again needed.

@Ronin, I never see you post anything on your own in the Dbacks section. You post on your own alot in the Suns and Cards section, but never here. Not much to talk about?

He posts on the Mercury board, too, even more than I. I guess some people are not baseball fans. That's cool!

Was just wondering.
