Quotient Quotables
We’ve kind of been battling, sputtering a little, but it’s not like we’re too far off," center fielder A.J. Pollock said. "Every game it feels like we’re in it. We’ll take one and move on to San Fran and try to get something going.
-- A.J. Pollock
With Gregorius coming back like he did, we are somewhat cautious about [playing him] three consecutive days, at this point. He was available [Saturday night], but sometimes guys are available, but you try to stay away from them.
-- Gibson
We got in really late. That scheduling thing -- I wish they would do something about that on travel days, because we were just flat. It took us seven or eight innings today to do something. I wish Major League Baseball would do something about that, because getting in at 5:30 is just not fair. I sound like a whiny baby, but it's the truth. We haven't been this flat all year. To me, if you want to put your finger on it, that's it.
-- Eric Chavez

Jason Kubel lets swelling subside | KFFL
Arizona Diamondbacks OF Jason Kubel (quadriceps) is recovering from a strained left quadriceps, and he is in "calm-down" mode as he lets the swelling go down. "He'll just do mobility stuff and regular manual strengthening, just what's tolerable while they try to calm everything down," manager Kirk Gibson said. "The MRI showed some fluid in there, which means there's swelling. He'll try to work that out, as well, and then start ramping up at that point."
