Nursing oblique strain Casali has been diagnosed with a right oblique strain, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Joey Bart was scratched from the starting lineup at Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area, and he figures to be on his way to join the team in Arizona, though the team will likely wait for Casali's test results before making a roster move.
