Jake Lamb is set to return from the disabled list as early as June 1st. Lamb’s return will lead to an imbalance in the lineup that will require a decision from Chip Hale and Dave Stewart.

Prior to the 2015 season, the Arizona Diamondbacks signed Cuban slugger Yasmany Tomás to a 68.5 million dollar contract, the largest contract in club history. Tomás was an outfielder when he played in Cuba, but the Diamondbacks already had a crowded outfield consisting of AJ Pollock, Ender Inciarte, David Peralta, and Mark Trumbo.
