The D-backs lineup was missing a couple of key pieces Tuesday as both right fielder Justin Upton and first baseman Adam LaRoche sat due to injuries.

There is the quick update of the day.

The D-backs are still in a holding pattern with regards to whether they will open the 2011 season against the Giants in Taiwan.

Running low on time today, i’ll be back tomorrow hopefully with some more news.

Stephen Drew makes no bones about the fact that he has struggled against left-handers last season.

Feel free to leave your comments below.

Justin Upton left Monday night's game against the Padres with what the team said was left shoulder irritation.

That’s all the news for today.

A pair of home runs by Mark Reynolds helped Joe Saunders and the D-backs overcome a rough first inning en route to a 7-2 win over the Padres on Monday night at Chase Field.

What do you guys think about this.

Matt Reynolds’ pair of home runs helped the D-Backs to a 7-2 win over the Padres.
