Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that the Giants have interest in Lyle Overbay. However, Schulman notes that they would like Overbay to get in some at-bats at Triple-A Fresno before joining the major league club, which the veteran first baseman isn't interested in doing. Overbay, who was released by the Diamondbacks Monday, would give the Giants a potential replacement for Aubrey Huff (knee), whose season is in jeopardy.

Diamondbacks released 1B Lyle Overbay. Overbay was designated for assignment last week, and reportedly drew interest from the Orioles and Reds. If signed, he would count for a pro-rated portion of the veteran minimum.

Jack Magruder of FOX Sports Arizona hears that the Orioles have some interest in Lyle Overbay. Overbay was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Monday. The Reds also reportedly have interest in the veteran first baseman.

Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com reports that the Reds are talking to the Diamondbacks about a trade for Lyle Overbay. Overbay was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Monday in order to make room for Chris Johnson on the roster. If acquired, the 35-year-old would function as a backup first baseman. The 35-year-old is hitting .292/.367/.448 with two homers and an .815 OPS in 110 plate appearances this season.

Diamondbacks designated 1B Lyle Overbay for assignment. He was cleared to make room for the newly-acquired Chris Johnson on the active roster. Overbay, 35, is hitting .292/.367/.448 with two homers and an .815 OPS in 110 plate appearances with Arizona this season. He is likely to draw trade interest.

Diamondbacks activated 1B Lyle Overbay from the paternity leave list. He'll resume his role as an occasional starter at first base. Overbay is batting a surprising .339/.432/.532 over 62 at-bats this season.

Diamondbacks placed 1B Lyle Overbay on the paternity leave list. He'll be away from the team for 24-72 hours. A.J. Pollock has replaced Overbay on the roster, while Paul Goldschmidt will handle first base.

Lyle Overbay went 4-for-4 with a homer and a double against the Dodgers on Tuesday. More bad news for Paul Goldschmidt owners. Overbay has driven in a total of three runs in 50 at-bats since his big game on Opening Day, but he is hitting .370 for the year now. With the Diamondbacks looking to cut back on the strikeouts -- rightly or wrongly -- Overbay could be in line for more playing time.

Lyle Overbay went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday's 7-2 setback to the Cardinals. With Paul Goldschmidt batting .218, manager Kirk Gibson turned to the veteran. Overbay is batting .333 with a home run in 42 at-bats, and should continue to be a useful safety valve for the Diamondbacks if Goldschmidt continues to struggle.

Lyle Overbay homered and doubled twice in Sunday's win over the Giants. Overbay finished his day 3-for-4 with three RBI and a run scored. Obviously a huge afternoon, but Overbay is going to need Paul Goldschmidt to struggle to become an asset in NL-only leagues.
