Making his second start since returning from the disabled list, Arizona Diamondbacks starter Daniel Hudson went eight innings against the San Diego Padres, allowing two runs with three strikeouts to pick up his second win of the season. This week is probably the last week you may be able to pick up Hudson cheap in a trade so now is the time to move if you are looking to upgrade a rotation spot.
First basemen Paul Goldschmidt is getting on a little bit of a roll for the Diamondbacks with a 10-game hitting streak and Saturday night he hit his third home run in his last six games. He has also raised his batting average 40 points since May 1, boosting it from .230 up to .270 after last night’s 1-for-5 game.
Chicago Cubs outfielder Tony Campana stole two more bases Saturday night giving him 18 for the season and seven in his last five games, despite only starting two of those contests. If the team would throw him out there on a more consistent basis, his value would be so much higher wi...

Drew nearing rehab assignment; no timetable
SAN DIEGO -- Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson held his arms straight out in front of him and attempted to rotate them outward. The right one made it fine. The left one balked, the result of a surgery in which Gibsons ulna was shortened, plated and sewed back into place.
Good as new? No. Good enough to play? You bet.
Gibson was illustrating a point about Stephen Drew, whose right...
