19 Blake Swihart RF

Swihart started in right field and went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and scored another run in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Rockies.

Swihart, who made his first start since April 25, popped his first long ball in an Arizona uniform. He's just 3-for-17 since joining the Diamondbacks and doesn't have a full-time gig. As such, at-bats come in drips whenever the team needs a pinch hitter, and he's not getting nearly enough swings to develop a hitting groove.

Swihart started in right field for Adam Jones (hand) and went 0-for-4 with an RBI in a 5-0 win over the Pirates on Thursday.

Swihart has started both games since Jones went down with his hand injury, going 0-for-9 in the process. The injury is not considered a serious one, so Swihart could be back on the bench at some point during the weekend series against the Cubs.

Swihart started in right field and went 0-for-5 in Wednesday's 11-2 win over Pittsburgh.

Swihart made his first start in an Arizona uniform, starting in place of the injured Adam Jones (hand). The plan calls for Swihart to fill in at multiple positions but not catcher at this time.

Swihart had a pinch-hit single, knocked in a run, and scored a run in Monday's 12-4 win over the Pirates.

Swihart made his debut for the Diamondbacks, who acquired him from the Red Sox last week. With three catchers already on the roster that know the staff, manager Torey Lovullo does not plan to have Swihart do any catching immediately. Instead, the manager will find pinch-hit opportunities for the versatile Swihart and use him as a starter at the corners in the infield and outfield.

Swihart is scheduled to join the Diamondbacks in Pittsburgh on Monday for the start of their four-game series with the Pirates, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

The Diamondbacks acquired Swihart from the Red Sox back on Friday, but the 27-year-old was given the weekend off to get his affairs in order back in Boston before joining the new organization. Swihart's arrival gives Arizona four players on the active roster with MLB catching experience, but manager Torey Lovullo suggested Swihart won't be used behind the plate during his time with the Diamondbacks. Instead, the athletic switch-hitter will fill a utility role, with his ability to play multiple infield and outfield spots likely affording him at least a couple starts per week.
