C Miguel Montero (groin) rode a bike, played catch and took some swings in pregame hitting. "Hitting is a little challenging, because you have to stretch out your back leg," Montero said. The D-backs are hoping Montero can return Friday.

Montero (groin) missed Wednesday's game, but doesn't expect to be out much longer, the Arizona Republic reports.
Recommendation: "I'd be lying if I said it feels like normal, but it feels pretty good," Montero said. "I was doing things today (Wednesday) that before I got hurt I couldn't do." Henry Blanco and Konrad Schmidt will handle the catching duties as long as Montero is unavailable with the minor ailment.
