| News: Kubel (quadriceps) was held hitless with a run scored in three at-bats Sunday during Arizona's tight loss in Miami. | Impact: The fact that Kubel was not pulled for a pinch hitter or runner Sunday, while manning left field, implies that the impact of his aggravated left quadriceps was negligible. After missing three of four games completely entering Sunday, his health may not be good enough to allow him to play on a daily basis this week.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Kubel (quadriceps) is back in the lineup Sunday. | Impact: Kubel missed the last five games with an aggravated left quad. Depending on how well he plays and how well the quad holds up, managers in weekly leagues will need to gauge whether it's worth risking the games he might miss this week before putting him into lineups. Daily leaguers should feel comfortable rolling Kubel out there Sunday.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Kubel (quad) is expected back in the lineup Sunday against the Marlins, the Arizona Republic reports. | Impact: Kubel has missed the last five games with an aggravated left quad. According to manager Kirk Gibson, he is expected back in the starting lineup for the series finale with the Marlins on Sunday. It's probably best to see how his quad holds up after a few games before sliding him back into your starting lineup.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Kubel (quad) is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Marlins. | Impact: While Kubel gets another day to rest, Cody Ross and Gerardo Parra will handle the corner spots while A.J. Pollock is once again in center field for Arizona.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Kubel (quad) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins. | Impact: With Kubel sitting, Cody Ross and Gerardo Parra are manning the outfield corners, while A.J. Pollock is playing center field for Arizona on Friday night.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Kubel is dealing with an aggravated left quad, the same one that landed him on the DL before, Fox Sports Arizona reports. | Impact: This explains why the Diamondbacks' left-handed power bat has missed the past two games. Kubel originally injured the quad in Milwaukee and played through the injury for four days before officially landing on the DL on April 13th. The Diamondbacks will likely see how their outfielder is feeling after an off day on Thursday before they begin a three-game series with the Marlins. Cody Ross and A.J. Pollock will handle the available at-bats until Kubel can return to full-time duties.(RotoWire, ) |
| Wed. May 15, 2013 | |
| News: Kubel is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Braves. | Impact: Including Wednesday's game, Kubel will have sat out six of the Diamondbacks' last eight games. He has even sat a couple times against right-handers, so he is basically a reserve outfielder at this time. Adam Eaton's pending return will force some changes in the Diamondbacks' outfield, but as of now, consider A.J. Pollock the starting center fielder, and Gerardo Parra the starting left fielder.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Kubel is not in the starting lineup Tuesday, Steve Gibert of MLB.com reports. | Impact: With Kubel sitting against right-hander Julio Teheran, Martin Prado is handling the starting nod in left field Tuesday night.(RotoWire, ) |
| Sat. May 11, 2013 | |
| News: Kubel is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against Cliff Lee and the Phillies. | Impact: It's been a tough run for Kubel's fantasy owners, with the Diamondbacks facing left-handed starters in four of their last six games. Kubel continues to ride the pine against southpaws.(RotoWire, ) |
