Cody Ross (hip) made his Cactus League debut Sunday, striking out as a pinch-hitter. Ross had already been facing live pitching the last few weeks in batting practice and in minor league games. "It's a little different than he's been facing," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "He had a tough at-bat." Ross is expected to play the field later this week. He'll begin the season on the disabled list, but it's looking like he might not miss much time.
