Diamondbacks

The closer situation in L.A. has been a mess, and while Joel Peralta was the guy, he hits the 15 day DL with arm soreness.

Hamstring injuries are tricky, and Yasiel Puig pushed it before getting 100%, he will serve on the 15 day DL until he is fully healthy. It is just a strain, nothing serious.

He had a small bullpen session, and is on pace to return sometime in June.
