11 A.J. Pollock CF

Pollock went 1-for-3 with a walk, stolen base and a run in the Diamondbacks' 4-2 win over the Padres.

The stolen base brings Pollock's total up to five for the season, making him the only player in the majors with at least five steals and five homers this season. While Pollock should remain a pillar in the counting-stats categories throughout the campaign, it looks like he may have a lower batting-average floor than expected, despite currently sitting on a respectable .270 mark and possessing two .300-plus seasons on his resume. The concern about his average largely stems from the 28 percent strikeout rate he has posted thus far, which is more than 10 points higher than his previous career-worst rate (17.4 percent in 2016).

Pollock went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and one run scored Saturday against the Padres.

Pollock was forced to sit out Friday's game after injuring his hand Thursday in a collision on the warning track with teammate Chris Owings. However, that didn't hold him back in his return to the lineup Saturday as he hit a solo home run in the third inning off left-hander Clayton Richard. With four stolen bases to supplement his five home runs, Pollock appears poised for another big campaign if he can remain healthy.

Pollock had missed a game with a minor hand issue but is already able to return to the lineup. He'll play center field and hit cleanup Saturday.

Pollock is not in the lineup Friday due to a right hand issue, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

It originally seemed like a routine day off, but it seems that Pollock is actually dealing with an injury he incurred when he collided with Chris Owings on Thursday. Manager Torrey Luvollo doesn't seem concerned at all with the issue though, commenting that Pollock is expected to return to the lineup Saturday. Consider him day-to-day for now nonetheless. Jarrod Dyson is playing center field in his stead.

Pollock is not in the lineup Friday against the Padres, Jody Jackson of FOX Sports Arizona reports.

The 30-year-old homered in Thursday's contest, but he has just four hits in the past week. Pollock will head to the bench for a night off to clear his head, forcing Jarrod Dyson to move to center field, Daniel Descalso to head to the outfield and Deven Marrero to man the hot corner for the evening.
