Didi Gregorius went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in Sunday's loss to the Giants.
Gregorius struck out five times in seven at-bats over his last two games, failing to reach base in seven at-bats and dropping his average from .322 to .308. The rookie shortstop hasn't stolen a base this season, but he's reached base in 37% of his plate appearances and will score plenty of runs hitting in front of Paul Goldschmidt and Eric Chavez.

Didi Gregorius went 0-for-3 with a walk in Sunday's one-run victory over the Padres.
Coming into the game, Gregorius had recorded multi-hit games in three of his last six. The rookie shortstop continues to make a mockery of offseason offensive projections, batting .330/.395/.515 through 103 at-bats. Gregorius is going to score a ton of runs this season out of the No. 2 hole, hitting in front of Paul Goldschmidt and Eric Chavez.

Didi Gregorius went 2-for-5 with a double and his first triple of the season in Sunday's extra-innings loss to the Phillies.
Gregorius was bumped to the No. 2 spot in the lineup when he returned from the DL, and he's likely going to continue to hit there. He's outperformed his offensive expectations to this point, so he still needs to prove he can make adjustments when big league pitchers start to figure him out. Gregorius is batting .362/.403/.655 with a 1.058 OPS through his first 15 games.

Paul Goldschmidt was the only other D-Backs player to get a hit Sunday. Gregorius is batting .433/.469/.867 with a 1.335 OPS in eight games this season.

Gregorius was struck in the helmet Friday by a Josh Outman fastball and suffered a right temple contusion. The Diamondbacks will decide soon if he needs a stint on the 7-day concussion disabled list. He acknowledged Saturday that he's feeling pretty sore but not woozy.
