Diamondbacks' A.J. Pollock: No clearance for activities

Pollock underwent a CT scan Monday that revealed continued healing of his fractured left thumb, but doctors declined to clear him for baseball activities, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

When Pollock sustained the injury in mid-May, the outfielder was handed an estimated 4-to-8-week recovery timeline. With Pollock having yet to resume any on-field work more than a month later, it appears safe to conclude that his target date for a return will likely trend closer to the eight-week mark. Pollock's continued absence will allow Jarrod Dyson to see regular work as the Diamondbacks' primary center fielder.
