| Player Notes |
| December 3, 2007 The White Sox are expected to announce today they've acquired Carlos Quentin from Arizona in exchange for first baseman Chris Carter, according to MLB Radio. Quentin hit just .214 in 81 games in 2007 due to injury problems, but he still has good upside and could find regular playing time in Chicago's outfield. He underwent shoulder surgery in October, and it's possible he'll miss the beginning of the season. |
| October 12, 2007 Carlos Quentin underwent surgery Thursday to repair labrum and rotator cuff problems in his left shoulder. Quentin's recovery time is expected to be six months, which means he's very likely to miss the beginning of the season. "You talk about powering through, he powered through this one," manager Bob Melvin said in the East Valley Tribune. "He needed the surgery and got it fixed, so I think he will be good to go next season." |
| September 2, 2007 As expected, the Diamondbacks activated Carlos Quentin from the disabled list on Saturday. He had been out with a strained right hamstring, but now you can get his Mendoza-like .208 batting average back in your lineup, if that's your bag. |
| September 1, 2007 The Diamondbacks likely will activate Carlos Quentin from the disabled list on Saturday, according to the Arizona Republic. He's been close to returning from his strained right hamstring, but it looks like the Diamondbacks were just waiting for rosters to expand before returning him to their active roster. |
| August 18, 2007 Carlos Quentin is not quite ready to come off the disabled list. "We feel like he needs some more time," manager Bob Melvin told the Arizona Republic. Quentin is on the disabled list with a strained right hamstring. The club might wait until rosters expand next month before activating Quentin. |
| August 12, 2007 Carlos Quentin is likely to begin a rehab stint at Triple-A Tucson this week. Quentin is on the disabled list with a right hamstring injury, according to the AP. |
| August 2, 2007 The Diamondbacks placed Carlos Quentin on the disabled list Thursday with a strained right hamstring, according to the AP. He suffered the injury during Wednesday's game. The club called up Justin Upton from Double-A to replace Quentin in right field. |
| August 1, 2007 Carlos Quentin left Wednesday's game with an apparent leg injury, according to SportsTicker. It's unclear at this point how severe the injury is. |
| July 27, 2007 The Diamondbacks recalled Carlos Quentin from Triple-A Tucson on Friday to take Scott Hairston's roster spot, according to the AP. Quentin hit .210 with five homers and 28 RBI in 66 games for Arizona earlier this year. |
| July 26, 2007 Carlos Quentin stated Wednesday that he would likely undergo surgery after the season to repair a torn labrum he suffered during spring training, according to the Arizona Republic. "I figure I might as well," he said. "When the off-season comes around, fix it. We'll confront that when the season ends. When you get an opportunity to fix something you should fix it so mentally and physically you know nothing's wrong with you." Quentin, who hit just .210 in 200 at-bats with the Diamondbacks, is batting .375 (10-for-32) in 10 games since being sent down to Triple-A. |
| July 6, 2007 The D'Backs optioned Carlos Quentin to Triple-A Tucson Friday. Quentin has struggled big time at the plate this year, hitting just .210 in 200 at-bats. The team recalled Jeff Salazar from Tucson to replace Quentin on the roster, according to SportsTicker. |
| June 19, 2007 The D'Backs rested the struggling Carlos Quentin on Monday. Quentin is hitting just .205 in 53 games since suffering a shoulder injury in spring training. "Carlos can be his own worst enemy at times," manager Bob Melvin said in the Arizona Republic. "He's real hard on himself and a very accountable guy who wants to be there and step up for his team. And when he doesn't, he can get down on himself a little bit." Scott Hairston replaced Quentin in the lineup. |
| June 18, 2007 Carlos Quentin continues to struggle at the plate, as his batting average has dropped to .205. It's gotten bad enough that the Diamondbacks may have to send him down to Triple-A Tucson to work on his swing, according to the Arizona Republic. Quentin hasn't looked comfortable at the plate since tearing his left labrum. Scott Hairston would benefit the most should Quentin be optioned. |
| June 17, 2007 Carlos Quentin didn't start Saturday but will Sunday, Bob Melvin told the AP. Quentin is off to a slow start through 162 at-bas, hitting just .210 with four homers. |
| April 18, 2007 Carlos Quentin said he was experiencing "standard spring training" soreness, but nothing else prior to playing his fourth game in as many days Tuesday, the East Valley Tribune reports. He's off to a good start with the Diamondbacks, going 4-for-7 with three doubles over the last two days. |
| April 16, 2007 The Diamondbacks activated Carlos Quentin from the 15-day disabled list on Monday. He had been out with a small tear in the labrum of his left shoulder. Quentin started in right field against the Dodgers and batted fifth. He had two doubles on the night. |
| April 15, 2007 Carlos Quentin went 2-for-3 in a rehab game with Triple-A Tucson on Sunday, according to the AP. Quentin, who is working his way back from a torn labrum, could be activated from the DL on Monday. |
| April 13, 2007 Carlos Quentin went 2-for-5 and played five innings in the field in an extended spring training game Friday, according to the AP. He's slated to play for Triple-A Tucson on Saturday and Sunday and could rejoin the Diamondbacks for the opener of a two-game series against the Dodgers on Monday. Quentin is recovering from a small tear in the labrum of his left shoulder. |
| April 12, 2007 As expected, Carlos Quentin got into an extended spring training game yesterday, going 0-for-3, according to the Arizona Republic. It looks like Quentin could return from his shoulder injury by the end of the Diamondbacks' current homestand, which ends on Tuesday. |
| April 9, 2007 Carlos Quentin will play in an extended spring training game in Tucson Wednesday and could rejoin the Diamondbacks in the next two weeks, the AP reports. He's coming back from a small labrum tear in his shoulder. |
| April 8, 2007 Carlos Quentin took more batting practice on Saturday and could begin a rehab assignment this coming week, according to the Arizona Republic. He likely will require about a week of rehab action before being cleared to rejoin the Diamondbacks. Quentin is recovering from a small labrum tear in his left shoulder. |
| April 7, 2007 Carlos Quentin batting practice Friday went well, and it's possible he could go on a minor league rehab assignment next week, according to the Arizona Republic. "We're building up endurance," Quentin said. "I'll be out there with these guys (today) and I'll keep doing that and see what they want to do when we get home. I'm pretty confident it'll go well." |
| April 6, 2007 Carlos Quentin took 25-30 swings before the game, and was swinging at 80 percent, manager Bob Melvin told the AP. "That's what we want him to do -- not completely go after it yet," Melvin said. Quentin is recovering from a small tear in his left labrum and could be back in 10-14 days. |
| April 6, 2007 Carlos Quentin is on a pace that could return him to the Diamondbacks in 10-14 days, assuming he doesn't have a setback, the East Valley Tribune reports. Quentin is coming back from a torn left labrum. The team figures he'll eventually need "five to seven days" of games on a rehab assignment. |
| April 5, 2007 Carlos Quentin hit off a tee Thursday and could take batting practice on the field Friday, according to the AP. Quentin, who is on the 15-day DL with a slightly torn left labrum, will eventually go on a minor league rehab assignment but no timetable has been set. |
| April 5, 2007 Carlos Quentin played long toss before Wednesday's game with no problems, manager Bob Melvin told the AP. Quentin is expected to miss a few weeks as he comes back from a torn labrum. |
| April 4, 2007 Carlos Quentin hit off a tee Tuesday as he begins a new cycle in his return from a labrum tear, the Arizona Republic reports. It sounds like his rehab will be less aggressive this time after he had a setback last week trying to get ready for the season opener. "We were trying to push it for opening day and that was a little too fast," Quentin said. "Mostly, we're ahead of schedule. I'm trying to build up strength, do all the necessary steps. The best-case scenario is to rehab it for two, three weeks and I won't feel it." |
| March 31, 2007 The D'Backs placed Carlos Quentin on the DL Saturday with a small labrum tear in his left shoulder, according to the AP. The earliest he could join the club is April 7. |
| March 30, 2007 Carlos Quentin will begin the year on the disabled list, Bob Melvin told the team's official site Friday. Quentin has a small tear in the labrum of his left shoulder. Quentin's DL stint can be backdated, which means he would be eligible to come off the list on April 7. |
| March 30, 2007 Carlos Quentin suffered a setback on Thursday in his recovery from a labrum tear and is all but certain to start the season on the disabled list, the Arizona Republic reports. Quentin, who was diagnosed with a small tear in the labrum of his left shoulder, was playing in a minor league game in Tucson when he said he felt some "aggravation" in the shoulder in his third at-bat, at which point the club pulled him out of the game. Manager Bob Melvin put Quentin's chances of playing Opening Day at 10 percent. |
| March 29, 2007 Carlos Quentin took batting practice Wednesday for the first time since injuring his shoulder March 16, according to the Arizona Republic. He likely will play minor league games today through the weekend to determine if he will be ready for opening day. "I'm still holding out for it," Quentin said. "We'll see how it goes." |
| March 27, 2007 Carlos Quentin swung a bat Monday for the first time since injuring his shoulder March 16, according to the Arizona Republic. Quentin felt tightness, but no pain, in the shoulder while taking between 30 and 35 swings off a tee. "It was a good little test," he said. "I think I passed it so I'm ready to move on." Quentin will likely take soft toss today and get in a game shortly after. |
| March 24, 2007 Carlos Quentin received a cortisone shot in his non-throwing shoulder Thursday and could take batting practice tomorrow, according to the Arizona Republic. It looks like he could still be ready for opening day, despite the small labrum tear in his shoulder. "If we can get him into a game with three, four, five days left," manager Bob Melvin said, "we have a chance to get him ready for the season." |
| March 22, 2007 Carlos Quentin will have the small labrum tear in his non-throwing shoulder examined in a couple of days, then begin a four- or five-day strengthening program, according to the Arizona Republic. "If it responds to where we think we can get him ready for the season, I don't think we'll have an issue," manager Bob Melvin said. "If we get a little deeper than that and we don't feel we can get him enough at-bats to get ready for the start of the season, then you look to backdate (place him on the DL). But we haven't come to any conclusions as far as that goes." |
| March 20, 2007 An MRI has showed that Carlos Quentin has a small tear in the labrum of his non-throwing shoulder, according to MLB.com. Quentin will not be swinging a bat for approximately 10 days. "He will continue to do all his throwing and his running," said manager Bob Melvin. "The only thing he can't do is hit." The injury puts Quentin's status for opening day in question, but Melvin isn't ruling him out yet. "We'll start him with some batting practice, and then see if we can get him in some game situations," said Melvin. "Once it calms down, it becomes how quickly we can get him in a cage and start swinging. We'll see where we are at somewhere around the 26th and see if we can get him ready to start the season." |
| March 20, 2007 Carlos Quentin had a precautionary MRI on his sore left shoulder, but the results weren't immediately known, according to the Arizona Republic. "Hopefully, it's still just precautionary, and our feeling is it'll still be a couple of days," manager Bob Melvin said. "We'll let him strengthen it for a few days and then get him back out there." |
| March 19, 2007 Carlos Quentin missed his second straight game on Sunday due to his sore left shoulder, according to the Arizona Republic. He could have an MRI taken today or tomorrow if the joint isn't feeling better. "It depends on what we think the severity is after (taking two days off)," manager Bob Melvin said. "A lot of times you want to let it settle down a little bit for a couple of days before you get the MRI." |
| March 18, 2007 Carlos Quentin was scratched from Saturday's lineup after tweaking his left shoulder during an awkward swing, according to the Arizona Republic. Quentin is listed as day-to-day. There is no MRI scheduled, though that could change if Quentin doesn't recover quickly. "It's not my throwing shoulder, so that's a good thing," Quentin said. "I could have finished the game (Friday night against Oakland), but I'll listen to the trainers and take their advice." |
