Stephen Drew (ankle) went through a hard workout Saturday at Chase Field that included extensive time on the basepaths. Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said that while Drew felt a "little sore" on Sunday, he's recovering better from his more rigorous workout days. "He actually bounced back real well so I'm encouraged at the pace and the rate he's bouncing back," said Gibson. "He looks much stronger and he seems to bounce back much quicker." No word on when Drew will go out on a minor league rehab assignment, but this might be a good time to stash him on a DL spot.
