Cody Ross (calf) jogged lightly on a treadmill Tuesday and took batting practice. Ross is finally beginning to make some progress but remains questionable for Opening Day. He suffered a lower left leg strain earlier this month in D'Backs camp.

Cody Ross's left calf injury is progressing slower than the team had originally hoped. "It's just been slow," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "He's done really no full weight-bearing stuff running-wise. He's not ready for it. I think he went in the pool yesterday. I think the next step will be the Ultra G [treadmill], which they can unload some of the weight when he runs." The team had hoped Ross would be able to begin full weight-bearing activities by Tuesday or Wednesday, but that isn't going to happen. His status for Opening Day is officially in doubt.

The Diamondbacks hope Cody Ross (calf) can begin full weight-bearing activities, including running, by March 18 or 19. If he's able to stay on that timetable, Ross should be ready to play on Opening Day. "It's reasonable that it could be, yes," manager Kirk Gibson said. The D'Backs will roll with Gerardo Parra in Ross' place if the outfielder's rehab goes slower than expected.

Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said Tuesday that Cody Ross will miss 2-3 weeks after an MRI revealed a lower left leg strain. The injury originally cropped up Friday and caused Ross to make an early exit on Sunday. Now he'll get an extended period of rest to try to put it behind him. There's still enough time for him to get ready for the season, but he can't afford any setbacks. The Diamondbacks have Gerardo Parra as an alternative if he needs some extra time.

Cody Ross is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday afternoon for his sore left calf. Ross began experiencing the calf soreness on Friday in camp and it didn't improve much over the weekend. The Diamondbacks are now looking to rule out any structural damage. If it's just inflammation, Ross should be back in Cactus League games by the end of this week.

Cody Ross (calf) went 0-for-1 with a strikeout in his return to the lineup Sunday against the Giants. Ross was removed in the third inning and was clearly bothered by the calf injury. The Diamondbacks are saying that it's not anything serious, but Ross is expected to be rested for a few games next week. A.J. Pollock will get an extended look until he ready to return.

Cody Ross was scratched from Friday's lineup due to a sore left calf. Ross says the ailment is no big deal and he expects to be back in there Sunday. He'll be the Diamondbacks' everyday right fielder in 2013.

Diamondbacks signed OF Cody Ross to a three-year, $26 million contract. The deal includes an option for a fourth year with a $1 million buyout. The 31-year-old outfielder is coming off a very strong 2012 campaign in which he hit .267/.326/.481 with 22 homers and 81 RBI. His signing likely precludes a trade of either Jason Kubel or Justin Upton, as the D'Backs appear set to let Adam Eaton open the season as their regular center fielder.

Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News reports the Diamondbacks have signed Cody Ross to a three-year deal.

Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that Cody Ross visited with the Rangers on Tuesday. This is the first the Rangers have shown in Ross, though there had been speculation he could be a fit once Josh Hamilton signed with the Angels. Ross met with team officials, including manager Ron Washington and GM Jon Daniels, last night. The level of the Rangers' interest isn't yet known, as they also met with free agent catcher A.J. Pierzynski earlier on Tuesday. The Phillies, Red Sox, Braves, Mariners, Mets and Orioles have all been linked to Ross so far this offseason.
