Cody Ross went 2-for-3 with a double and a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Dodgers.

Ross took Dan Haren deep in the fourth inning for his first jack of the season. He has been dreadful at the plate after starting the season on the disabled list. Sunday's effort pushes him over the Mendoza line, however, as he is now slashing .203/.244/.270.

Cody Ross was the lone useless member of Arizona's lineup on Saturday, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts against the Diamondbacks.

Everyone else except Gerardo Parra had at least one hit, and Parra managed an RBI and a run scored. Ross shouldn't be starting against right-handers, and he certainly shouldn't be hitting ahead of Martin Prado and Mark Trumbo if he has to start against right-handers. He's 0-for-9 since coming off the DL.

Cody Ross went 0-for-5 with a strikeout in his return from the disabled list on Friday.

The Diamondbacks followed through on their threat and started Ross against a very tough righty in Zack Greinke. The results were pretty much what should have been expected. Ross figures to be a liability against righties for however long it takes the Diamondbacks to realize he's a fourth outfielder.

Diamondbacks activated Cody Ross from the 15-day disabled list.

The veteran outfielder is expected to serve as the Diamondbacks everyday left fielder now that he's healthy. He's hitting fifth in manager Kirk Gibson's lineup on Friday.

Cody Ross (hip) is aiming to be activated from the disabled list on Friday.

Ross had a mini-setback during his rehab assignment when he felt a little twinge in his side, but he's played the last few days with no issues. As long as he doesn't encounter any more bumps in the road, he'll be back this weekend. Manager Kirk Gibson indicated last week that Ross would be the main left fielder when he returns.

Cody Ross (hip) returned to his rehab assignment Thursday after missing the previous two games with "something in his side that was bothering him," according to Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers.

"Nothing major, just something in his side that was bothering him a little bit, so we gave him an extra day," Towers said. Ross had been slated to rejoin the D'Backs as soon as this weekend, but it's not clear whether this little setback will affect that timetable. Manager Kirk Gibson indicated earlier this week that Ross would be the main left field when he returns.

Cody Ross (hip) will begin his rehab assignment at Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.

He's slated to be in Reno until being re-evaluated on April 10. Ross is working his way back from hip surgery in August, and the team is hoping to have him back sometime in mid-to-late April.

Cody Ross (hip) will go on a rehab assignment to Triple-A Reno to start the season.

Ross has been placed on the disabled list as he continues to work back from August hip surgery. He'll be at Reno until at least April 10, when he'll be re-evaluated. The Diamondbacks are still hoping he'll be ready for a mid-April return to the team.

Cody Ross (hip) played four innings in the outfield Thursday in a minor league game.

Ross also took four at-bats. It's a nice step in the right direction for the 33-year-old outfielder, who is recovering from August hip surgery and aiming to join the Diamondbacks around mid-April. He has already been placed on the 15-day disabled list.

Diamondbacks placed OF Cody Ross on the 15-day disabled list with a right hip fracture.

Ross made his Cactus League debut earlier this week, as his recovery from hip surgery is going well. While he simply doesn't have enough time to get ready for Opening Day, he could join the D'Backs outfield at some point in April.

Cody Ross (hip) made his Cactus League debut Sunday, striking out as a pinch-hitter.

Ross had already been facing live pitching the last few weeks in batting practice and in minor league games. "It's a little different than he's been facing," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "He had a tough at-bat." Ross is expected to play the field later this week. He'll begin the season on the disabled list, but it's looking like he might not miss much time.

Cody Ross (hip) has been playing in minor league games and could begin sliding drills soon.

Ross is progressing well and remains on track to make his Cactus League debut on March 13. He's obviously already been ruled out for the Diamondbacks' two games in Australia, but it's sounding like he might not miss too much of April.

Cody Ross (hip) ran the bases on Monday at 60-70 percent.

It's the first time he's ran the bases since suffering a fractured and dislocated right hip last August. Ross will play in a simulated minor league game on Tuesday. "We're going to start picking up his activity," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. Ross is scheduled to make his Cactus League debut on March 13 and should come off the DL sometime in April.

Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said Thursday that Cody Ross (hip) is scheduled to make his Cactus League debut on March 13.

That's assuming everything continues to go smoothly as the outfielder works his way back from last August's surgery to repair a dislocated hip. The D'Backs haven't officially ruled Ross out for Opening Day, but they'd probably be happen if he made his season debut sometime in April. He hit .278/.331/.413 with eight homers and 38 RBI in an injury-shortened 2013 season.

Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers said that Cody Ross took batting practice Monday for the first time since hip surgery and is way ahead of schedule.

Towers said back in December that Ross might be out until May, but he suggested Monday that the start of the regular season is still possible. Of course, Opening Day isn't the be-all and end-all and it's worth noting that Arizona starts their season early this year. Ross, 33, hit .278/.331/.413 with eight homers and 38 RBI in 94 games last season.

Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers said Tuesday that he's hoping to get Cody Ross (hip) back "in April or maybe May."

Ross has made encouraging progress from August surgery to repair a dislocated hip and is expected to be cleared to begin running by the end of the month. It was a major procedure, though, so most of his time in spring training will be spent rehabbing. He batted .278/.331/.413 with eight homers for the D'Backs in 2013.

Cody Ross (hip) will resume running at the end of the year.

Ross has made encouraging progress from August surgery to repair a dislocated hip and appears poised to be ready to go at the start of spring training. The soon-to-be 33-year-old was limited to just 94 games in 2013 due to injury, batting .278/.331/.413 with eight homers for the D'Backs.

Doctors told Cody Ross following his hip surgery that he could be ready for the start of spring training.

Ross won't be able to do any weight-bearing activities for a couple months but should ultimately be fine for the beginning of the 2014 campaign. He'll earn $8.5 million each of the next two seasons.

Cody Ross will undergo surgery Tuesday to repair a fracture in his right hip.

The operation was expected, and now it's officially been scheduled. It's not clear how long Ross' rehab will be, but he obviously won't return this season. Ross is under contract for $8.5 million in 2014 and 2015.

Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said Monday that Cody Ross is likely to have surgery on his dislocated right hip Tuesday.

Gibson wasn't sure about a timetable, but he's just hoping Ross will be ready for spring training next year, so they're obviously not counting on him coming back this season. The outfielder suffered the injury attempting to beat out an infield hit Sunday.
