With a .324 average and just two extra-base hits in 36 at-bats, he's been the Burroughs of old this spring. It's not expected to win him a spot on the Minnesota bench, but he could get a look if injuries strike. |

Sean Burroughs was hit with a pitch on Monday and exited the game with a left forearm contusion. |
He's been labeled day-to-day. Burroughs is attempting to make Minnesota's Opening Day roster as an extra infielder, so we wouldn't expect this injury to hold him out of action. Burroughs hit .273/.289/.336 over 110 at-bats for the D'Backs last season after spending a few years away from the game. |

Sean Burroughs provided all the offense in Arizona's 2-0 win over the Nationals on Tuesday, taking Jordan Zimmermann deep for a two-run homer in the seventh. |
The 12th home run of Burroughs' career was his first since April 30, 2005. Quite an accomplishment for a former top prospect that hadn't appeared in a game since 2006 before being called up by the Diamondbacks on May 19. |

Sat Aug 13 2011 | 00:43 | Sean Burroughs doubles and scores |
Sean Burroughs went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored Friday in his first start of the month. |
Burroughs had made just one start in the month since the All-Star break. Obviously, he doesn't have any fantasy value at the moment. Still, it appears that he will stick with the Diamondbacks for the rest of the season. |

Mon Jul 4 2011 | 19:31 | Sean Burroughs goes 3-for-5 |
Sean Burroughs went 3-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored Monday versus the Brewers. |
Burroughs has started two of the four games since his callup, as the Diamondbacks want to see if he's a legitimate option as a third baseman against right-handers. As little power as he has, he's unlikely to amass much value in NL-only leagues. Still, those short of healthy infielders could give him a look. |

Arizona signed 3B Sean Burroughs to a minor league contract. |
A blast from the past, as the last time the former first-round pick was part of a major league organization was in 2007. We'd be shocked if he ever gets another major league at-bat. |
