Cody Ross delivered a pinch-hit three-run homer off Mike Dunn in the bottom of the eighth to lead the Diamondbacks past the Marlins on Wednesday. The untradeable Mike Dunn, that is. Ross has been flat-out horrible against right-handers this year, which is part of the reason he was out of the starting lineup today, but he's still killing lefties to the turn of a .387 average in 62 at-bats. All three of his homers have come off southpaws. He made a winner of David Hernandez with the blast today.

Cody Ross went 4-for-7 with a double Wednesday in the 12-inning game against the Dodgers. Ross ended up with seven hits in the series, raising his average from .253 to .271. He still has just two homers and 16 RBI in 173 at-bats for the season, so he's been quite the fantasy bust.

Cody Ross hit a walkoff sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 10th inning as the Diamondbacks defeated the Rockies 3-2 on Saturday night in Arizona. Ross also had an RBI triple in the bottom of the first inning. He's 14-for-50 (.280) since returning from his calf strain and has tallied seven RBI in 14 games. Ross makes for a decent third outfielder in deep mixed leagues.

Diamondbacks activated OF Cody Ross from the 15-day disabled list. Ross missed the first two weeks of the 2013 regular season because of a calf strain. His bat is a good fit at Chase Field and he makes for a fine third fantasy outfielder in mixed leagues now that he's healthy. The 32-year-old tallied 22 homers and 81 RBI in 130 games last season with Boston. Jason Kubel was placed on the disabled list in a corresponding roster move.

Cody Ross (calf) might be activated on Saturday. The Diamondbacks first need to determine if Jason Kubel (quad) needs a 15-day disabled list stint of his own. Ross has been sidelined since March by a calf strain.

Cody Ross (calf) could be activated from the disabled list as soon as Friday. Ross began his rehab assignment last Thursday, but Monday will be his first game in the outfield. Assuming he gets through the next few days without any setbacks, he'll be back in the D'Backs lineup this weekend against the Dodgers.

Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said that the best-case scenario would have Cody Ross (calf) returning on April 8. Ross will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Visalia when their season starts on Thursday, playing the outfield and also being used as a DH. If he gets through a few games with no issues, he should be in the lineup when the D'Backs return home next Monday. Gerardo Parra and A.J. Pollock will start for the first week with both Ross and Adam Eaton out.

Diamondbacks placed Cody Ross on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 21, with a left calf injury. Ross hasn't played since early March, but the Diamondbacks are backdating his DL stint by 10 days so he could only miss the first five games of the season. With Adam Eaton (elbow) also sidelined, Gerardo Parra and A.J. Pollock will open the season as starters in the D-Backs' outfield.

Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson confirmed on Friday that Cody Ross (calf) will begin the season on the disabled list. This isn't terribly surprising news, as the Diamondbacks have stated all along that they'll err on the side of caution as opposed to rushing Ross back into action. That means both Gerardo Parra and A.J. Pollock will open the season as starters in the D'Backs' outfield.

Cody Ross (calf) is expected to open the season on the disabled list.
