Steven Souza’s return will make for crowded Diamondbacks outfield

Diamondbacks right fielder Steven Souza Jr. homered twice on Tuesday night, giving him three in the past two days during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno. The way things are progressing, manager Torey Lovullo said, Souza is “trending toward a return.”

That means the Diamondbacks’ outfield logjam could materialize any day now.

In the world of problems a baseball club could have, too many players for too few spots probably ranks among the more desirable. But finding ample playing time for five players at three positions could make for a tricky situation for a manager to handle.
