Moves to leadoff Calhoun batted leadoff and went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Calhoun has slumped since coming off the injured list July 10, going 4-for-37; however, manager Torey Lovullo opted to slot the veteran into the leadoff spot in order to get him as many at-bats as possible. That serves the dual purpose of getting him more at-bats with which to dial in his swing, which, if it leads to improvement, would make Calhoun more attractive leading up to the non-waiver trade deadline.

Heads to bench Calhoun will hit the bench Saturday against the Cubs.

Impact Calhoun has now started just two of four games after returning from a hamstring strain shortly before the break. The veteran outfielder has often found himself in a platoon setup, but both of his recent days off have come against right-handers like Saturday's starter Adbert Alzolay. Josh Rojas will start in right field in his absence.

Not starting Sunday Calhoun is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Dodgers.

Impact Calhoun went hitless in his return from a hamstring strain strain Saturday. The veteran outfielder will get at the least the beginning portion of Sunday's game off before the club breaks for the All-Star Game.

Hitless in return Calhoun started in right field and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's 22-1 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Calhoun was reinstated off the 60-day injured list Saturday, appearing in his first MLB game since April 27. He had suffered a setback while on rehab assignment, appearing in two games before being recalled from rehab. He has since gotten at-bats in the Arizona Complex League and at the team's training complex. He's in the final year of a two-year deal signed prior to the 2020 season, so Calhoun is a prime candidate to be moved to a playoff contender before the trade deadline.

Will test hamstring Monday Calhoun will run the bases Monday to test his injured hamstring, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Calhoun was pulled from his rehab assignment after aggravating the injury while attempting to avoid getting hit by a pitch. An MRI on the hamstring determined no damage to his surgically repaired hamstring. "I don't see this as a huge setback, honestly," he said. "It's just being cautious and making sure that when I do get back out there, it's get back out there and play." Calhoun had been aiming for a return during this week's homestand but no longer knows what a realistic return date might be.
