D-Backs will wait until Monday for Souza DL decision

NEW YORK-The Arizona Diamondbacks will wait until Monday before deciding whether outfielder Steven Souza Jr. will go back on the disabled list.

Souza reinjured his right pectoral muscle on a throw from right field Friday night. He originally hurt the muscle during spring training and didn't start his big league season until May 3.

An MRI on Saturday determined he sustained a strain and had inflammation. The images will be sent to Arizona's medical staff to determine whether it occurred in the same spot.

"Obviously a little more sore than I'd like," he said.

Souza thinks he can avoid returning to the DL and said the injury is "nothing like it was obviously back in March."
