Diaz (thumb) is expected to face live pitching in the near future, Jim Hayes of Fox Sports Midwest reports.
Diaz's appointment to track his rehab progress went well, so he'll soon add hitting to his current training regimen. He'll likely return to Florida and continue his rehab process. At this point, a timeframe for his eventual return isn't available. However, the club should have a better idea of when Diaz will come off the DL once he begins hitting.
