Arizona Diamondbacks Notes, Quotes 2008-08-21
--3B Mark Reynolds took infield at second base during batting practice Wednesday. He may be an option there when RF Justin Upton comes off the disabled list.

--CF Chris Young was not in the starting lineup for the first time in 107 games, dating back to April 20. Young pinch-hit in the ninth inning, striking out.

--SS Stephen Drew returned to the lineup after missing Tuesday's game with a sore groin. Drew went 1-for-5 with a run scored.

--Arizona RHP Dan Haren and San Diego RHP Jake Peavy each gave up five earned runs. Haren went six innings, Peavy five. Both came into the game with sub-3.00 ERAs.

--Diamondbacks manager Bob Melvin said RF Justin Upton's oblique injury is no longer cause for worry, and Upton will be called up from a minor league rehab stint once the club feels he is comfortable offensively. Upton went 0-for-4 Wednesday for Class AAA Tucson, leaving him with a .310 average in seven rehab games.

BY THE NUMBERS: 38 -- Runs the D-backs have scored in six games with OF Adam Dunn through August 17, even after being shut out Sunday in Houston. They are 4-2 since his arrival last Tuesday.

QUOTE TO NOTE: "He takes a lot of pressure off everybody in our lineup. We're deeper, and it makes our lineup a lot tougher to navigate." -- D-backs manager Bob Melvin, on new OF Adam Dunn.
