KOLE CALHOUN NEWS

Delivers in extra inning Calhoun went 1-for-5 with a single, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-4 extra-inning win over Houston.

Impact Calhoun, who was activated from the injured list Friday, made a second consecutive start at designated hitter and delivered a run for the Diamondbacks. After homering in his return Friday, Calhoun singled home the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th inning then came around to score on Daulton Varsho's two-run, cushion-needing home run. With the Diamondbacks looking to give younger players opportunities, it's uncertain if Calhoun will be the primary right fielder, his usual spot, once Arizona resumes play against National League teams and will not have the benefit of the DH. Right field has been a pathway for Pavin Smith, Jake McCarthy and Varsho.

Activated from injured list Calhoun (hamstring) was activated off the injured list and will start Friday against Houston, batting fifth and serving as the designated hitter.

Impact Calhoun missed over a month with a hamstring strain but is ready to go after appearing in just a single official rehab game. He's hit an unremarkable .238/.293/.354 in 140 plate appearances this season and is a 33-year-old on an expiring contract (assuming the Diamondbacks don't pick up his option), so he could find himself sitting regularly as the team tries out younger players down the stretch.
