Diaz Playing Solid Defense at Third Base Indians Rookie Looking For Diaz playing solid defense at third base Indians rookie looking for offense to catch up By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com | April 8th, 2017 + 1 COMMENT PHOENIX -- Yasmany Tomas chopped a pitch up the third-base line and Indians rookie Yandy Diaz charged in. The third baseman grabbed the bouncer with his bare hand and threw across the diamond, getting the out at first for a second-inning gem in Friday's 7-3 loss to the D-backs. "He's really played a good third base," manager Terry Francona said on Saturday. "That was a nice play." Defense was the main question mark hovering over Diaz during Spring Training, when Cleveland had a roster spot to fill with second baseman Jason Kipnis opening the season on the 10-day disabled list. The Indians moved Jose Ramirez from third to second, and rolled the dice on Diaz, who is more polished as a hitter than as a third baseman. In the first week of the season, Diaz has looked solid in the field for the Tribe. He made a diving catch to his right in the season opener on Monday, robbing Texas' Nomar Mazara of a possible hit. Friday night's barehanded grab-and-throw was another play to add to Diaz's highlight reel. Offensively, Diaz has hit only .200 through his first 16 plate appearances, but the sample size is small. Francona has been impressed by the rookie's approach and pointed out that Diaz has run into some tough luck. To that end, Diaz entered Saturday as one of only 18 Major Leaguers (and the only Indians player) with at least three balls in play with an exit velocity of 106 mph or higher, per Statcast™. Only one of the three went for a hit. "That kind of puts a dent in your average," Francona said. "But, I think his at-bats have been solid, too. I think Yandy, you're going to look up a couple years from now and he's going to be doing some severe damage. Just the way he hits, the way he's built, I think he's got so much room to get better, and it's exciting." Other items of note from Saturday: • Right fielder Lonnie Chisenhall (on the 10-day DL with a right shoulder issue) went 1-for-4 for Triple-A Columbus in his first Minor League rehab assignment Friday. He is scheduled to play the outfield for Columbus on Saturday, and is on target to be activated in time for Tuesday's home opener. Kipnis (right shoulder) is set to begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Akron on Sunday. • Francona is looking for spots early in the season to give left fielder Michael Brantley some rest, considering he is coming back from multiple surgeries on his right arm. With a lefty (Patrick Corbin) starting for the D-backs on Sunday, Brantley might be out of the lineup, according to Francona. • When Kipnis is ready to be activated, Francona said he plans on sitting down with the second baseman and Brantley to get their thoughts on the batting order. As of now, the manager is not sure how he will handle the lineup when Kipnis comes back. Bauer, bullpen can't contain D-backs' big bats By Jordan Bastian and Barry M. Bloom / MLB.com | 1:46 AM ET + 59 COMMENTS PHOENIX -- David Peralta's homer off Trevor Bauer with one out in the sixth inning sparked a four-run rally that spun the D-backs toward a resounding 11-2 victory over the Indians at Chase Field on Saturday night, for Arizona's fifth win in its first six games. The game was billed as a big pitching matchup between Cy Young Award winner Zack Greinke and Bauer, whom the D-backs took with the No. 3 pick overall in the 2011 Draft. And it lived up to its billing with the right-handers battling to a 1-1 tie, until the lefty-swinging Peralta smacked Bauer's full-count pitch off the right-field foul pole. The D-backs scored four in the sixth and six in the eighth as the Indians dropped to 3-2. Getting to a starter like Bauer later in the game has been a theme of Arizona's first-week success, D-backs manager Torey Lovullo said. "Just the amount of information that's shared by everybody in between innings is impressive," he said. "That's not to say that certain pitchers aren't going to get on us and stay on us and take care of business. But I like our chances of seeing a pitcher the second or third time through the order. That's been our track record for the first six games and I feel like these guys are competing on a pretty impressive level each night." Bauer, making his first start of the season, left with two out in the sixth, having allowed four runs on seven hits. He struck out seven and didn't issue a walk. "I thought he was good," Indians manager Terry Francona said of Bauer. "When [the D-backs] get aggressive and they start feeling good, we've seen it two days in a row now, they put a hurtin' on us in a hurry. But, if he throws the ball like that, he's going to be just fine." Greinke, meanwhile, earned his first win of the season. He was lifted with two out and no one on in the seventh at 106 pitches, having allowed one run on five hits while whiffing six and also walking none. • Greinke logs first win, will face Kershaw next MOMENTS THAT MATTERED Big blows: The D-backs knocked out Bauer in a big four-run sixth inning that included Peralta's homer, a Yasmany Tomas triple and doubles by Paul Goldschmidt and Brandon Drury. The D-backs batted around in the inning. The D-backs broke it wide open with six more runs when they sent 11 men to the plate in the eighth. Checked aggression: With the game tied at 1 and Francisco Lindor on third base representing the go-ahead run, Indians slugger Edwin Encarnacion tried to check his swing on a two-out, two-strike pitch from Greinke in the sixth. First-base umpire Lance Barksdale called Encarnacion out on the swing, and the Tribe's first baseman erupted in anger. Encarnacion threw his bat away, yelled and raised his arms emphatically. That ended the potential rally for the Indians, and the D-backs soon ran away with the game. "When I saw it live, I didn't think he came close to swinging," Francona said. "When I went back and looked, it's close. I wouldn't want to have to make that call in real time. It's hard. That's one of those where we want it, and so do they. That'll never change." SOUND SMART WITH YOUR FRIENDS Jeremy Hazelbaker reached base four times on Saturday night for the D-backs. He has reached safely in eight consecutive plate appearances to begin the season, becoming the first Major Leaguer to accomplish that feat since Ramon Hernandez did it for the Orioles in 2006. The feat represents a D-backs franchise record. This was Bauer's first start in Arizona since he was traded by the D-backs to the Indians in a three-way deal with the Reds after the 2012 season. Bauer made only two starts at Chase that season, going 1-1. UPON FURTHER REVIEW In an effort to stop the bleeding, Francona challenged a safe call at first base in the eighth on the back end of what could have been an inning- ending 6-4-3 double play. After a replay review, the call stood. Jake Lamb was deemed safe on a fielder's-choice groundout in Arizona's six-run inning. WHAT'S NEXT Indians: For Sunday's 4:10 p.m. ET Interleague finale against the D-backs, the Indians will hand the ball to ace Corey Kluber. In his Opening Day outing, Kluber allowed five runs on six hits, including three homers, in six innings against the Rangers. The righty was dealing with blisters, and ended with no hits allowed to the last 12 batters he faced. D-backs: Arizona closes out its first homestand Sunday with an afternoon game starting at 1:10 p.m. PT against the Indians at Chase Field. Left-hander Patrick Corbin (0-1, 4.50) will get his second start of the season. He lost to the Giants on Tuesday, the D-backs' only loss in their first six games. Momentum shifts after Encarnacion's bat toss By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com | @MLBastian | 1:10 AM ET + 3 COMMENTS PHOENIX -- Edwin Encarnacion jumped in disbelief and threw his arms in the air. The Indians slugger angrily tossed away his bat and soon the helmet followed. All the while, Encarnacion barked emphatically, insisting that he did not swing in the sixth inning Saturday night. Given that the D-backs dealt the Indians a lopsided 11-2 defeat, Encarnacion's tirade might seem like an insignificant moment in the settled dust. Before the final score was separated by a mile, though, this contest was a classic game of inches. That was until the floodgates flew open not long after Encarnacion was rung up on the attempted check swing. "I just reacted," Encarnacion said. "You know you have to do something to help this team win the game. That's what I was thinking in the moment." The blowout had its roots in a swing of momentum in that sixth inning.

VanMeter, 21, split the 2016 season at San Diego's Class A Advanced and Double-A affiliates, batting a combined .251/.331/.403 with 14 home runs and 56 RBIs. He primarily plays second base and third base but also has shortstop experience. Torrens, a catcher, was picked second overall in the Rule 5 Draft and flipped to the Padres later in the day. The Reds also received cash in the deal. Cincinnati also announced the invitation of 19 non-roster players to big league camp at Spring Training: catchers Rob Brantly, Chad Wallach and Shawn Zarraga, right-handers Alejandro Chacin, Vladimir Gutierrez, Jimmy Herget, Tyler Mahle, Evan Mitchell and Kevin Shackelford, left-handers Ismael Guillon, Lucas Luetge and Nick Routt, infielder Brandon Dixon, shortstop Zach Vincej, outfielders Sebastian Elizalde and Gabriel Guerrero, infielder/outfielder Patrick Kivlehan and Tony Renda and utility player Hernan Iribarren.
