Diamondbacks Place Lourdes Gurriel Jr. on 10-Day IL

The move forces roster juggling, prompting Arizona to recall Adrian Del Castillo and add Gerardo Carrillo to the 40-man roster to prevent a minor-league opt-out.

Overview

  • The Diamondbacks announced on Saturday that outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right adductor.
  • Arizona recalled catcher Adrian Del Castillo from Triple-A Reno to fill Gurriel’s active-roster spot after Del Castillo hit well in the minors following a recent demotion.
  • The club selected right-hander Gerardo Carrillo to the 40-man roster and immediately optioned him to Triple-A Reno to block his opt-out and keep organizational pitching depth.
  • Gurriel’s latest absence is his third of the season after a torn ACL recovery and a left hamstring strain, and his on-field performance has suffered with a .207/.254/.387 line and a 48 wRC+ in 47 games.
  • The moves thin an already fragile outfield group and increase the likelihood Arizona seeks outfield help before the trade deadline while using standard roster tools like the 10-day IL and 40-man additions to manage short-term needs and player control.
