Fuentes (finger) has started the past four games for Triple-A Reno, collecting four hits and four walks across 18 plate appearances.

EDGE Analysis

Fuentes was sidelined for the first month and a half of the Pacific Coast League season after suffering a small fracture on one of the fingers on his left hand during spring training. Prior to sustaining the injury, the Diamondbacks removed Fuentes from their 40-man roster, so the veteran outfielder probably won't be a leading candidate for a promotion to the big leagues even if Steven Souza (pectoral) joins A.J. Pollock (thumb) on the 10-day disabled list.

Triple-A Reno placed Fuentes (finger) on its 7-day disabled list prior to their season opener April 5.

EDGE Analysis

Fuentes suffered a small fracture on a knuckle on his left hand late in spring training, keeping him on the shelf for the beginning of the season. The organization hasn't outlined a clear timetable for Fuentes' return. The 27-year-old was dropped from Arizona's 40-man roster in February and will thus have a more difficult path back to the big leagues after appearing in 64 games for the Diamondbacks in 2017.

The Diamondbacks reassigned Fuentes to their minor-league camp Monday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fuentes had been attending camp as a non-roster invitee after the Diamondbacks outrighted him to Triple-A Reno in February. Even though Arizona will be down an outfielder to begin the season with Steven Souza (pectoral) on the disabled list, Fuentes didn't warrant any late consideration for a spot on the Opening Day roster while he dealt with his own finger injury. Manager Torey Lovullo revealed Sunday that Fuentes is recovering from a small fracture on his left hand, which could keep the outfielder at extended spring training when the Pacific Coast League season opens.

Fuentes is dealing with a small fracture on a knuckle on his left hand, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was previously reported that Fuentes was simply dealing with a bruised left hand, but manager Tory Lovullo has now confirmed that it's a bit more serious than that. It's unclear if this fracture will affect Fuentes' regular season availability or not. He should be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Fuentes (hand) could appear in one of the Diamondbacks' split-squad Cactus League games Sunday, Chris Gabel of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fuentes hasn't appeared in any spring games since being struck on the left hand by a pitch Monday. The outfielder escaped with no structural damage to his hand and is merely dealing with a bruise, so his availability for the start of the season wouldn't seem to be in much risk. Fuentes will open the campaign at Triple-A Reno after the Diamondbacks outrighted him off the 40-man roster in February.

X-rays came back negative on Fuentes' left hand after the outfielder departed from Monday's 15-2 exhibition loss to the White Sox following a hit by pitch, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic Arizona reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fuentes was fortunate to avoid structural damage to the hand but could still be sidelined for a few days while he likely deals with some pain. The 27-year-old is attending Diamondbacks camp as a non-roster invitee and is expected to be reassigned to minor-league camp in the near future.

Fuentes exited Monday's spring game after being hit by a pitch, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic Arizona reports.

EDGE Analysis

Specifics regarding the injury remain unclear, but an update should come forth once he's further evaluated following the conclusion of Monday's Cactus League game. Consider Fuentes, who is expected to open the season with Triple-A Reno, day-to-day for now.

Fuentes went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run Thursday in the Diamondbacks' 11-6 win over the Brewers in Cactus League play.

EDGE Analysis

The home run was Fuentes' third of the Cactus League, boosting his OPS to a ridiculous 1.375 across 11 games. The 27-year-old was a spring standout the last two years as well, only to deliver a combined .254/.298/.339 regular-season slash line at the major-league level over that span. With Fuentes having been outrighted off the Diamondbacks' 40-man roster in February, it's likely that he'll open the season at Triple-A Reno rather than serving as a depth outfielder for the big club.

Fuentes was outrighted to Triple-A Reno earlier in February, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Fuentes will remain in the Diamondbacks organization after going unclaimed off waivers upon being designated for assignment. Fuentes, who slashed .235/.278/.338 across 145 plate appearances with Arizona in 2017, looks poised to spent most of the upcoming campaign at the Triple-A level.

Fuentes was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Arizona needed to clear a 40-man spot following the addition of free agent Alex Avila, with Fuentes representing the corresponding roster casualty. The 26-year-old split time between Triple-A Reno and the big club in 2017, hitting a respectable .343/.385/.440 in 45 games with the Aces, but struggling to a .235/.278/.338 line in 64 games with the Diamondbacks. Fuentes will likely garner some interest on waivers as a speedy reserve outfield option, though he should report to Reno if he ultimately goes unclaimed.
