Rockies first baseman Ian Desmond had a productive workout Monday as he took 25 swings in the batting cage, ran the bases, fielded some grounders at first and shagged fly balls. He’s been sidelined since he was hit by a pitch on March 12. Diamondbacks 7, Padres 6: Zack Greinke struck out 11 and walked none in six innings, and Chris Owings hit a grand slam to lead Arizona over San Diego.
The Diamondbacks have placed right-handed starter Shelby Miller on the 10-day disabled list with right elbow inflammation.
