Diamondbacks Place Lourdes Gurriel Jr. on 10-Day IL as Tommy Troy Shines in Debut

Imaging confirmed a left hamstring strain, prompting the club to monitor Gurriel’s recovery and rely on prospect depth in the near term.

Overview

  • Lourdes Gurriel Jr. left Friday’s game after a sliding catch and was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a left hamstring strain.
  • Team imaging confirmed the hamstring strain and Arizona said it will monitor Gurriel’s progress to set a return timetable.
  • Arizona selected the contract of top prospect Tommy Troy from Triple-A Reno as Gurriel’s roster replacement.
  • Troy made his major league debut on Sunday and went 2-for-4 with two doubles and two runs in a 9-1 Diamondbacks win.
  • Gurriel’s hamstring issue draws added concern because he recently returned from a right ACL tear, and the club’s immediate response highlights reliance on versatile young players to cover outfield and lineup needs.
