Arizona Diamondbacks embattled starter Jordan Montgomery threw a "front box" session Saturday at Salt River Fields without incident and said he felt good. Speaking in the clubhouse afterwards he said that he expected to be ready for the start of the season.

Arizona Diamondbacks left-handed pitcher Jordan Montgomery (finger) is set to throw a bullpen session on Tuesday. Montgomery has yet to throw a bullpen during spring training due to a flexor strain in his left index finger.

The Diamondbacks' skipper explained how he addressed the Jordan Montgomery situation following Ken Kendrick's comments.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are confident they can reach the postseason this year after missing last year because of a tiebreaker.

With the bases loaded and one out during Saturday's 9-3 loss to the Colorado Rockies, the Diamondbacks’ Ketel Marte hit a deep drive to center. The Rockies’ Sam Hilliard made the catch at the warning track. Hilliard’s momentum took him back an extra step, and he also took his time getting the ball back to the infield.
