David Hernandez (elbow) pushed back a bit - David Hernandez (R) Arizona Diamondbacks

David Hernandez (elbow) won't return until at least late May after feeling overall body soreness following some throwing last week.

Hernandez appeared in an extended spring training game on Saturday, so this doesn't look like a significant setback. The D'Backs had been hoping to have him in mid-May but will now take things a bit slower with him. "He's definitely going to be later than we thought," manager Chip Hale said. Hernandez will appear in at least one more extended spring training game before the club considers a rehab assignment. May 10 - 9:09 AM
