- Castillo is day-to-day after tests on his left hand came back negative, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.Castillo was struck in the hand by a comebacker during a Cactus League appearance Saturday, but he’s managed to escape with just a contusion. The 28-year-old is trying to win a bullpen job as a non-roster invitee and has pitched well this spring, allowing two runs with a 6:1 K:BB over seven innings.
- Diamondbacks’ Geraldo Perdomo: Tests on knee are negative Perdomo took grounders Saturday after imaging on his left knee came back negative, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.Perdomo hurt his knee earlier this week on a slide during Cactus League play, but he’s managed to avoid a serious injury. It’s not clear when he might be cleared to play in a game, but Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said he’s not concerned about his shortstop’s availability for Opening Day.
- Diamondbacks’ Gabriel Moreno: Expected back in lineup Sunday Moreno (back) is expected to return to the Diamondbacks’ lineup Sunday against the Angels, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.Moreno has been unavailable for a couple days with lower-back tightness but has evidently made enough progress that his return to action is imminent. The young catcher is 4-for-17 with one home run and a 2:3 K:BB over 20 plate appearances for Arizona this spring.
- Diamondbacks’ Jake McCarthy: On updated projected roster McCarthy was included on the updated projected roster compiled by Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.McCarthy was not part of Gilbert’s initial projection, but Randal Grichuk’s lingering ankle injury — he hasn’t played a game yet — could impact his availability for Opening Day. McCarthy is 8-for-32 with two doubles, a triple, three RBI and two stolen bases over 12 Cactus League contests.
