Big loss for the D-Backs: outfielder A.J. Pollock out for most the season
PHOENIX -- When he fractured his right elbow sliding into home plate Friday night, D-backs outfielder A.J. Pollock said it felt like he was in a nightmare, like it wasn't really happening.
When he woke up Saturday morning, however, after a restless sleep with his arm in a cast, he realized that it was all too real.
"It was just one of those things where I was going to dive head-first some time this season," Pollock said. "It wasn't a dive, it was more kind of [on] the pop-up, I felt something. I've done it before, so I kind of didn't have a freak-out. I knew what happened. Lot of frustration."

When he first fractured his right elbow at Spring Training in 2010, Pollock missed the entire season before returning for the Arizona Fall League that October. This time, he hopes the rehab process will take less time.

D-Backs are still probably the team to beat in the N.L. West. But this should cost them some wins.
