The Diamondbacks reinstated Locastro (finger) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Before landing on the IL on April 18 with a dislocated left pinkie finger, Locastro had been off to a strong start to the season with a .345 on-base percentage and three stolen bases over 15 games. With Ketel Marte (hamstring) and Kole Calhoun (hamstring) both still on the IL, Locastro should have a path to a near-everyday role, though his opportunities against right-handed pitching could be more limited than before. The Diamondbacks have gotten quality production of late from both Pavin Smith and Josh Rojas, and the two could regularly factor into the mix for playing time in the outfield alongside lineup mainstay David Peralta.

Locastro (finger) could appear in games at the alternate site this weekend, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

That Locastro could appear in games this weekend puts him on schedule for a potential return before or during Arizona's upcoming road trip that begins Tuesday in Miami. Both Locastro and Christian Walker (oblique), who may also play this weekend at the alternate site, could rejoin the Diamondbacks during the road trip, which would reshape the lineup. Their returns would impact the opportunities for Nick Heath, Josh Rojas and Pavin Smith.

Locastro will have stitches removed from his injured left pinky finger Monday, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Torey Lovullo said after the stitches are pulled, Locastro can jump back into game action as quickly as tolerated. "His progression should happen pretty quick," the manager said. He could come back to an everyday role in center field while Ketel Marte (hamstring) works his way back from injury, but the Diamondbacks are pleased with how quickly Pavin Smith has adapted to playing center.

Locastro (finger) visited with a doctor who confirmed the outfielder suffered a dislocated left pinky finger, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the doctor ruling out a fracture, it's possible Locastro will miss the minimum amount of time while on the 10-day injured list. Nick Heath has started in center field since Locastro sustained the injury.

The Diamondbacks placed Locastro (finger) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

As anticipated, Arizona deactivated Locastro after he sustained a dislocated pinkie finger on his left (non-throwing) hand in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Nationals. The Diamondbacks called up Nick Heath in a corresponding move, and he could end up serving as Locastro's primary replacement in center field given that Arizona's other outfielders are ideally suited to the corner spots. Arizona will also need to settle on a new leadoff man in the short term, as Locastro had set the table in each of the team's last nine games.

Locastro's dislocated pinky finger is expected to send him to the injured list, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was a tough day for Locastro, who injured his finger while getting caught trying to steal second base, something that hadn't happened in his first 29 attempts at the major-league level. He needed four stitches due to the injury, per Steve Gilbert of MLB.com. The Diamondbacks will likely need to call up someone who can play center field in his absence.

Locastro left Saturday's game against the Nationals with a dislocated left pinky finger.

EDGE Analysis

It's not yet clear how much time Locastro is expected to miss. Wyatt Mathisen replaced him in Saturday's contest, pushing Pavin Smith from first base to center field. Smith had never played center as a professional or in college, however, so the team may need to add an additional outfielder if Locastro misses an extended period.

Locastro went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Locastro's fourth-inning single extended his hit streak to six games (9-for-27), and he tacked on his third steal of the season, tying him for third in MLB with multiple players. He continues to see regular opportunities in center field while Ketel Marte (hamstring) is on the injured list. While there is no definitive timetable for Marte, Jose M. Romero of the Arizona Republic reported it could take weeks for a recovery. Locastro is the primary fill-in for Marte in center.

Locastro went 1-for-3 with two walks and a run scored in Monday's 9-5 loss to the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Locastro got on base in each of his first three at-bats. The 28-year-old has hit safely in his last five games, so he's been filling in quite adeptly since Ketel Marte (hamstring) hit the 10-day injured list last Thursday.

Locastro went 4-for-5 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

With his swipe in the sixth inning, Locastro broke Tim Raines' major-league record for the most consecutive successful steals to begin a career (28-for-28). Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports that Locastro's spikes from Saturday's game will be going to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. All four of his hits were singles, but Locastro is off to a nice start as the regular center fielder in the absence of Ketel Marte (hamstring). Locastro has now led off in three consecutive games.
