| Player Notes |
| September 20, 2006 Diamondbacks manager Bob Mevlin said that Stephen Drew's strained left groin is feeling better, according to the Arizona Republic. However, he added that Drew probably won't start again until at least Thursday. |
| September 17, 2006 The Arizona Republic reports that Stephen Drew is dealing with tightness in his left groin. The Diamondbacks consider him to be day-to-day, though he could be out until Tuesday or Wednesday. |
| September 8, 2006 Stephen Drew did not start on Friday because he had a fever, according to the AP. He is considered day-to-day. |
| September 5, 2006 Stephen Drew, who has been nursing a sore hand, was kept out of the starting lineup Tuesday night, but manager Bob Melvin said that also had to do with wanting a right-handed bat against Florida's Dontrelle Willis, according to the AP. Melvin said Drew would start on Wednesday. |
| August 30, 2006 Stephen Drew missed his second straight game Tuesday due to inflammation in his right hand. However, manager Bob Melvin said there is a chance that the shortstop will take part in tonight's game. "I think he's a little puzzled that it's bothering him to this level," Melvin said. "Usually stuff like that, even if you're playing, unless you reaggravate it, it usually gets a little better and it just hasn't for him." |
| August 28, 2006 Stephen Drew was kept out of the starting lineup Monday due to a sore throwing hand, according to the AP. Craig Counsell got the start at shortstop. It's uncertain if Drew will be able to return to the lineup on Tuesday. |
| August 25, 2006 Stephen Drew will still be the starting shortstop even with Craig Counsell's return from the DL, but manager Bob Mevin said Drew will get a few more days off so Counsell can play, according to the AP. Drew is currently hitting .314 with three homers and 17 RBI on the year. |
| August 20, 2006 It's not clear how exactly Stephen Drew and Craig Counsell will split action at shortstop upon Counsell's return to action beginning Monday, according to the Arizona Republic. "When he (Counsell) gets here, we'll talk about it," said manager Bob Melvin, adding, "Stephen's going to play. Absolutely, Stephen's going to play." |
| August 15, 2006 Stephen Drew got a day off Monday to rest a sore right hand, but he is expected to be back in the lineup today, according to the Arizona Republic. "You've got to play through some pain," Drew said. Drew is hitting .344 with three homers and 12 RBI in 96-bats with the D'Backs. |
| August 2, 2006 Stephen Drew will likely be the Diamondbacks starting shortstop for the remainder of 2006, according to the East Valley Tribune. Craig Counsell, who is out of action with a broken rib, isn't due back until September. Even when Counsell does return, it will probably be in a reserve role, as Drew has been playing solid baseball. |
| July 28, 2006 Stephen Drew missed Thursday's game after fouling a ball off his ankle on Wednesday, according to the Diamondbacks website. Drew, who was replaced in the lineup by Damion Easley, was available to pinch-hit. "He could have played if he had to, but it was a day I was looking to get Easley in anyway," manager Bob Melvin said. |
| July 15, 2006 Stephen Drew, the Diamondbacks' first-round pick in the 2004 draft, made his major league debut at shortstop, going 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored Saturday night. Manager Bob Melvin batted Drew eighth and said Drew would be his everyday shortstop, at least until the injured Craig Counsell returns in three-to-six weeks. "Drew is going to play," Melvin said. "We wouldn't have him here if he wasn't going to be an everyday player." |
| July 15, 2006 The D'backs will recall Stephen Drew from Triple-A Tucson to replace the injured Craig Counsell on the roster, according to the Arizona Republic. Drew, one of the top minor league prospects in the game, is hitting .283 with 13 home runs for Tucson. |
| March 27, 2006 The Diamondbacks sent Stephen Drew to minor league camp on Monday, according to the AP. He hit .314 this spring. He had a shot at making the team with Craig Counsell dealing with a shoulder injury, but the D'Backs wanted the youngster playing everyday at Triple-A. |
| March 7, 2006 Stephen Drew is nursing a bruised left shoulder, but he took some light swings on the side Monday and should play Wednesday, according to the Arizona Republic. |
