Locastro started in center field, batted leadoff and went 1-for-5 in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Locastro should see a steady flow of at-bats after the Diamondbacks placed Ketel Marte (hamstring) on the injured list Thursday. If Locastro can get on base with any regularity he could become a steady source of steals, but he has just a .238 on-base percentage over his first seven games.

Locastro started in right field and went 0-for-3 in Wednesday's 8-0 loss to Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Locastro was moved to center field late in the game after Ketel Marte departed with a hamstring injury that manager Torey Lovullo described as cramping, per Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. That's not an official diagnosis, so more should be gleaned in the coming days. If Marte misses time, Locastro is the likely fill-in at center field. After a strong spring, Locastro is just 2-for-14 to open the regular season.

Locastro went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in a loss to San Diego on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

A day after drilling a home run as a pinch hitter in his season debut, Locastro started in right field and led off for the Diamondbacks. He reached base on an infield single in the seventh inning and subsequently swiped second base before coming around to score on a Ketel Marte home run. Locastro is now a perfect 27-for-27 on stolen base attempts in his big-league career, highlighting his most valuable skill from a fantasy perspective. The 28-year-old may spend much of the season as a reserve, but his ability to get on base and swipe bags could make him a sneaky play when Arizona faces a left-handed starter.

Locastro went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 8-7 loss to the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Locastro entered as a pinch hitter for Pavin Smith and tied the game with a two-run shot off lefty Tim Hill in the fifth inning. Locastro stayed in the game and finished up in right field. The Diamondbacks will use a few bodies in right field while Kole Calhoun (knee) begins the season on the injured list. With left-hander Blake Snell hurling Friday, Locastro could start in right field.

Locastro went 1-for-2 with a double and was hit by a pitch in Monday's spring game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Locastro took pitch off the helmet but stayed in the game. He's been a magnet for getting hit during his career and has been plunked five times over 36 spring plate appearances. He's expected to be part of a right-field platoon that fills in for Kole Calhoun (knee), who will miss at least the first two weeks of the regular season. Locastro should face left-handers while Pavin Smith slots in against righties.

Locastro started in right field and went 0-for-2 in Wednesday's spring game against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

With Cactus League nearing its end, lineups begin to look like they might during the regular season. For Locastro, who made his second start in right field over his last four appearances, that means he could be the Opening Day fill-in for the injured Kole Calhoun (knee). The Diamondbacks optioned one potential fill-in, Daulton Varsho, to Triple-A on Wednesday. Locastro is slashing .333/.440/.571 with two stolen bases over eight Cactus League games.

Locastro started in center field and went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Monday's spring game against Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Monday was another productive game for Locastro, who is 7-for-19 with three doubles, a triple, a walk and two stolen bases. He's making a bid to fill in for right fielder Kole Calhoun (knee), who is expected to open the regular season on the injured list.

Locastro started in right field and went 2-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's spring game against Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Locastro's start in right field means he's completed the spring outfield cycle, having made appearances at each outfield spot. He's the latest to man right field, where Kole Calhoun (knee) typically plays. Calhoun is unavailable and could open the season on the injured list. Locastro is expected to play all three outfield positions this season, giving manager Torey Lovullo flexibility and creativity when making out lineups. Locastro, who overcame a bout of COVID-19 this spring, is 5-for-12 with a double, triple, two stolen bases and two runs scored over five Cactus League games.

Locastro (COVID-19) is starting Saturday's spring game against the Padres, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Locastro appeared in just one spring game earlier this year before testing positive for COVID-19 at the beginning of March. However, the outfielder will return to action for Saturday's matchup and will presumably be available going forward. Locastro could compete for at-bats to begin the regular season with Kole Calhoun (knee) sidelined.

Locastro (COVID-19) is expected to return to camp Saturday, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Locastro has been limited to one Cactus League game due to testing positive for the virus. His return adds another body to the mix of outfielders getting time in right field while Kole Calhoun (knee) is unavailable. He also has experience in center field and could start there when Ketel Marte lines up at second base.
