Diamondbacks non-tendered OF Ryan Church.

This was inevitable, even back when the team acquired him from the Pirates in July. Church, 32, turned in a meager .201/.265/.352 batting line this past season, mostly due to a collapse against right-handed pitching. He is still a solid defender, so he'll likely find a job as an extra outfielder somewhere.

The Diamondbacks aren't expecting the newly acquired Ryan Church to report to the team until Tuesday.

No word on why this is the case. As a consolation for Arizona, Church isn't likely to help them, anyway, as he had a wretched .182 batting mark in 170 at-bats this season with the Pirates.

Diamondbacks acquired outfielder Ryan Church from the Pirates.

Arizona also got D.J. Carrasco and Bobby Crosby from the Bucs for Chris Snyder and prospect Pedro Ciriaco. Church was a free-agent bust after signing on from Atlanta. He hit just .182 with 18 RBI in 69 games and failed to seize regular playing time in a wide-open outfield. He has no fantasy value right now in Arizona.

Ryan Church took some swings in the batting cage on Monday, but remains limited due to a bruised right wrist.

"It's really sore," said Church, who was plunked in the wrist during Friday's game against the Cardinals. Church said he doesn't feel he has the proper strength to be an effective pinch hitter at the moment, but added that the wrist feels much better than Sunday. He'll likely need a few more days.

Ryan Church was held out of the lineup this weekend due to a bruised wrist.

He sustained the injury when he was hit by a pitch in his final at-bat on Friday. X-rays showed no fracture and Church could be cleared for batting practice in the next few days.

Ryan Church went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer off Ryan Dempster as the Pirates topped the Cubs 3-2.

Pittsburgh trailed 2-1 in the sixth when Church went deep and the Bucs' bullpen held on to improve the team's record to 11-15. Church's playing time has been inconsistent, but his bat could force its way into the lineup for good at some point. He played center field on Tuesday. Church is now batting .292/.320/.479 in 48 at-bats.

Ryan Church was ejected from Wednesday's game in the ninth inning for arguing a called third strike.

Ryan Church will start in left field against the Dodgers on Thursday.

Church, who had a pinch-hit three-run double on Opening Day, will bat fifth against Chad Billingsley while Lastings Milledge will take a seat. Jeff Clement and Ronny Cedeno will also rest on Thursday, with Bobby Crosby and Delwyn Young receiving their first starts of the season.
