Troy started at second base and went 3-for-4 in Wednesday's spring game against the Athletics.
Troy rapped three singles, including a pair to the opposite field, and upped his spring line to 11-for-21 (.425) along with four doubles, two RBI, three runs and one stolen base over nine Cactus League appearances. He can play both infield and outfield, but Arizona manager Torey Lovullo told Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports that the plan is keep Troy locked at second base for now.
Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Strong start at Double-A
Rotowire
Troy is hitting .400 with more walks (12) than strikeouts (nine), a home run and a stolen base through 50 plate appearances for Double-A Amarillo.
Troy was destined to put up a strong stat line while playing half his games in the very hitter-friendly park in Amarillo, but his control of the zone stands out through his first 10 games at Double-A. He had an injury-riddled first half last year but finished strong with an .822 OPS, four homers and nine steals in his final 33 games at High-A before logging an .864 OPS in the Arizona Fall League.
Troy is slashing .280/.333/.480 with two home runs, four doubles and two steals in 13 games in August for High-A Hillsboro.
Prior to August, Troy was hitting .199 with one home run in 39 games (including rehab games) while dealing with a serious hamstring injury. This latest stretch is at least a sign that the talent that got him drafted with the No. 12 overall pick in last year's draft is still there.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Rehabbing in Complex League
Rotowire
Troy (hamstring) began a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on June 18 and has slashed .304/.296/.522 with four extra-base hits and a 1:7 BB:K through seven games.
Troy's results during his rehab assignment haven't been otherworldly, but more important is the fact that he hasn't gone more than three days without playing in a game and hasn't endured any reported setbacks with his strained left hamstring. The 22-year-old shortstop could make his return from High-A Hillsboro's 7-day injured list at some point during the upcoming week.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Tracking toward mid-June return
Rotowire
Troy (hamstring) has taken live at-bats, but the organization is being conservative with his running program, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Troy, who landed on High-A Hillsboro's 7-day injured list April 26, is tracking toward a mid-June return, according to Diamondbacks farm director Shaun Larkin. Before straining his left hamstring, Troy appeared in 12 games for Hillsboro and slashed .184/.231/.286 with one home run and five stolen bases.
Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Out with hamstring strain
Rotowire
Troy will miss 4-to-6 weeks at High-A Hillsboro with a left hamstring strain, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.
Lauded as one of the best prospects in Arizona's farm system, Troy has slashed .184/.231/.286 across 52 plate appearances in High-A to begin the season. If the 22-year-old infielder is able to bounce back at the plate once he returns from his injury in late May or early June, he could earn a promotion to Double-A Amarillo by the end of the season.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Will get look early in camp
Rotowire
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Thursday that he's eager to see Troy (foot) against major-league pitching early in camp, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
Lovullo discussed what's piquing his interest during Cactus League play and mentioned bringing prospects over from minor-league camp, including Troy and Druw Jones, to get at-bats and innings. While Troy's injury was not mentioned, that the manager was talking about him playing suggests last year's first-round pick is healthy and ready to go for spring ball. At the time of his September foot surgery, the expectation was that he'd have a full offseason to prepare for spring training. The 22-year-old shortstop batted .271 with an .843 OPS and stole nine bases over 27 combined games between the Arizona Complex League and High-A Hillsboro.
