Owings is still dealing with hamstring tightness Saturday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Owings lined a triple as a pinch hitter in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Giants, but manager Bud Black revealed Saturday that the 29-year-old is still receiving treatment for a tight hamstring. The team continues to monitor Owings' progress closely, and he should be considered day-to-day.

Ahmed (knee) is expected to be activated off the injured list this weekend, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

The Diamondbacks welcomed back Kole Calhoun on Friday and could get another regular back if Ahmed is deemed ready. Josh Rojas has been filling in at shortstop, but after an 0-for-4 on Friday, he's batting just .074.

Crawford went 1-for-4 with a two-RBI double in Friday's 3-1 win over the Rockies.

The Giants couldn't get much going against Rockies starter Austin Gomber until the seventh inning. With the bases loaded, Crawford sent a double to right-center field, scoring Darin Ruf and Buster Posey to give Giants starter Johnny Cueto all the run support he needed. The 34-year-old Crawford hasn't hit very well to start the year with a .136/.174/.318 slash line, a homer, three RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base across 23 plate appearances. Nonetheless, the veteran shortstop should have a long leash before he would lose playing time to Donovan Solano or Mauricio Dubon.

Owings (hamstring) hit a triple and scored a run in his only at-bat as a pinch hitter in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Giants.

The 29-year-old entered the game in the ninth inning for pitcher Jordan Sheffield and hit a triple before coming around to score on Garrett Hampson's sacrifice fly for the Rockies' lone run of the game. The hamstring isn't expected to keep Owings out of the starting lineup for long. He'll be welcomed back, as he has a .533/.588/1.133 slash line across 17 plate appearances. He's produced six runs scored, three RBI, two stolen bases, three triples and three doubles.

Adrianza (personal) was reinstated from the restricted list prior to Friday's game against the Phillies.

He missed a week while going through COVID-19 protocols and attending to a personal matter. Adrianza is not in the lineup Friday and should resume a bench role going forward.

Camargo was optioned to the alternate site Friday.

Ehire Adrianza was reinstated from the restricted list, so Camargo's services as a bench infielder were no longer needed. He will provide depth throughout the campaign.

Edman went 1-for-4 with a triple in a win over the Brewers on Thursday.

The 25-year-old extended his hitting streak to five games with the three-bagger, his first of the season after lacing eight over his first two big-league campaigns. Edman has been a hit in the leadoff spot thus far, posting a .344 on-base percentage and stealing a pair of bases over his first 32 plate appearances.

Mateo has gone 4-for-13 to start the season while earning starts in both left and center field.

Mateo has been a beneficiary of Trent Grisham's (hamstring) absence, as he's gotten plenty of work as the Padres' fourth outfielder to begin the season. He's done well with the opportunity, clubbing two extra-base hits. However, Grisham is expected to be activated from the injured list Friday, which is sure to diminish Mateo's role.

Baez went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, a walk and a steal in Thursday's win over the Pirates.

Baez hit his second home run of the young season in the sixth inning against Pittsburgh starter Tyler Anderson. The shortstop is still slashing just .200/.259/.440 through seven games, but he's shown the ability to get hot in a hurry, so this long ball could be just the spark he needs. He's also swiped three bags already, matching his total from all of last season.

Story went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, two RBI and a run scored during Thursday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Story was red hot at the plate in this one, cranking an RBI double in the first inning, then an RBI triple in the second, both against Merrill Kelly. Despite a somewhat slow start to the season, Story still ranks among the top stat producers in the game, so look for him to elevate his current .226/.250/.355 batting line to his career norms sooner than later.
