Bob McManaman of AZCentral.com reports on Mark Trumbo's potential return to the Diamondbacks' lineup:

The first player expected to return is slugger Mark Trumbo, who clubbed a grand slam during his first rehabilitation appearance with Triple-A Reno on Monday night. He was in the Aces' lineup again on Tuesday and Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said there's a chance Trumbo, working back from a stress fracture in his left foot, could be activated in time for Arizona's three-game series at San Francisco, which begins Friday. 'We've had some discussions about it,' Gibson said. ' … There's an outside chance he could come to San Francisco, but (it's) unlikely.'

Original Text:

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Mark Trumbo has been placed on the 15-day disabled list due to a stress fracture in his left foot. The team recalled Roger Kieschnick from Triple-A to take his spot on the 25-man roster.

The team announced the move on Twitter:

Trumbo got off to a red-hot start for Arizona with five home runs in his first nine games on the new season. His play has dropped off considerably after that early surge, however. His on-base percentage has dipped to .264 and he's only chipped in two more homers since April 6.

The Associated Press (via ESPN.com) reports Trumbo was originally dealing with plantar fasciitis during spring training, and the current belief is the outfielder was overcompensating for that ailment, causing the stress fracture to develop.

Trumbo said he was prepared to fight through the lesser injury, but it reached a point where he was no longer helping the team:

The plantar (fasciitis) at times has been pretty bad but manageable. That's what you have to do. You've got to earn a living and play. This was to the point where I severely had to compensate running-wise to the point where I probably wouldn't be much of an asset on either side.

The report also notes the slugger had a similar issue in the opposite foot three years ago and it took more than five months to recover. Although this injury isn't as serious, there's no timetable for his return to the Diamondbacks lineup.

Kieschnick is a 27-year-old outfielder with just 38 games of experience at the major league level. He was hitting .281 with three home runs in 18 games for the Triple-A Reno Aces before the recall. Cody Ross will likely play a majority of the games replacing Trumbo in left field for the time being.
