Player Outlook
Lourdes Gurriel's season was cut short by an unfortunate tearing of his ACL when he attempted to avoid colliding with Blaze Alexander as the latter made a terrific catch on what looked to be a sure double off the bat of Rowdy Tellez on September 1st. Gurriel Jr was on pace to set a career high in RBI's as he was making the most of his spot in the batting order despite his other offense numbers trailing his career norms. The recovery from the ACL almost assuredly puts Gurriel Jr on the injured list to start the season, and honestly makes him undraftable in mixed leagues with deeper benches because recovery from ACL surgeries for outfielders coud be anywhere from 6 to 12 months. He is one of 27 players who has driven in at least 75 runs in each of the past three seasons, but that streak will be ending in 2026 with the perceived time Gurriel Jr is likely to spend on the injuried list in recovery from the knee injury.

  • Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Sent to IL

    The Diamondbacks placed Gurriel (knee) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Gurriel is on the mend from Sept. 11 surgery to address a torn ACL in his right knee and is likely to remain on the shelf for at least the first month of the season. He was cleared earlier this week to serve as a designated hitter in minor-league games on the back fields of spring training but has yet to get the green light to resume playing the outfield. Once he's facing no restrictions defensively, Gurriel could report to an affiliate to begin a rehab assignment.

  • Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Will DH in minor-league games

    Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Tuesday that Gurriel (knee) has been cleared to serve as a designated hitter in minor-league games on the back fields of camp, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports. Lovullo added that Gurriel is close to returning to play defense. Gurriel has resumed shagging fly balls but not yet defended a position in a game situation.

  • Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Cactus League action unlikely

    Gurriel (knee) is not expected to appear in a Cactus League game, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports. There hasn't been a setback for Gurriel, who is well ahead of schedule in his rehab, but he appears to have run out of time in his quest to make the Opening Day roster. He'll continue to take at-bats on the back fields and hopes for a mid-April debut.

  • Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Possible mid-April return

    Gurriel (knee) could return to game action by mid-April, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. Gurriel is pushing to be ready by Opening Day, and an appearance in a Cactus League game as a designated hitter is still on the table, per Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. While Gurriel may be hoping to play Opening Day, comments made earlier this spring by manager Torey Lovullo suggest the team will take a more cautious approach with his recovery from September knee surgery.

  • Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Continues push for Opening Day

    Gurriel (knee) took live batting practice Tuesday and ran the bases, indicating his return is ahead of schedule, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. Gurriel's stated goal is to be ready for Opening Day -- it's the first thing he mentioned to manager Torey Lovullo upon his arrival in camp -- but the manager's comments suggest more caution. Lovullo stated he was blown away by how Gurriel has looked early on, but then added, "I will say, right now, we're going to take it as slowly as we possibly need to, and then plug in where we can." It appears the Diamondbacks are preparing for Gurriel to miss time early in the regular season. Alek Thomas has taken reps in left field -- Gurriel's normal position -- instead of right field. It was initially thought Thomas could fill in for injured right fielder Corbin Carroll (hand), but the club is optimistic Carroll can return in time for the opener.

  • Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Arrives at camp

    Gurriel (knee) arrived at camp Thursday and was optimistic he'd be able to beat the timeline for his return, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports. Gurriel underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL in September 2025 and is currently expected to miss the first two months of the season, but he told manager Torey Lovullo that he's shooting for Opening Day. Lovullo stressed that Gurriel's return "is not gonna be Opening Day," but the outfielder has already graduated to hitting and running. That suggests he could beat the June 1 estimated timeline. The Diamondbacks will explore internal options to replace Gurriel in left field, including 40-man roster options Jorge Barrosa, Jordan Lawlar and Tim Tawa, but prospect Ryan Waldschmidt might be the top candidate.

  • Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Picks up player option

    Gurriel (knee) exercised his $13 million player option for 2026 on Monday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports. Gurriel had right ACL surgery in September and will miss at least the first couple months of the 2026 season, which made picking up his option a fairly easy decision. The 32-year-old outfielder slashed .248/.295/.418 with 19 home runs over 129 games for the Diamondbacks before getting injured.

  • Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Undergoes surgery

    Gurriel (knee) underwent surgery Thursday, MLB.com reports. Gurriel tore his ACL during a game Sept. 1 and is slated to miss a significant portion of the 2026 season. A clear timeline hasn't been established, and his return depends on a number of factors. Nine months is the starting point, and recovery can extend up to 12 months.

  • Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Scheduled for surgery Thursday

    Gurriel will undergo ACL surgery Thursday and is expected to need at least 9-to-10 months of recovery, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports. Gurriel tore his ACL on Sept. 2, which will force him out for the rest of the 2025 season as well as much of the upcoming 2026 season. If the reported recovery timeline stays true for the outfielder, he might be able to return in June or July of next year.

  • Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Out with torn ACL

    Gurriel was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a torn ACL in his right knee. The 31-year-old suffered the injury in left field during Monday's contest and will now miss the rest of the season. Gurriel closes out 2025 with 19 homers, a career-high 10 steals and a .248/.295/.418 slash line in 129 games. The veteran outfielder has a $13 million player option for 2026, which he seems likely to exercise since he's now poised to be unavailable for the start of next season.

  • Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Dealing with knee injury

    Gurriel suffered a right knee injury in Monday's 7-5 extra-inning loss to the Rangers, Megan Plain of Fox 10 Phoenix reports. Gurriel was carted off the field after wiping out in left field in the sixth inning, and it is now understood to be a knee injury. Manager Torey Lovullo said following the game that Gurriel will undergo imaging on his right knee Tuesday and that "it doesn't look great." With less than a month remaining in the 2025 season, it's certainly possible that the injury could prove to be season-ending for the 31-year-old.

  • Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Exits after hustle play

    Gurriel (lower body) was forced to exit Monday's contest against the Rangers in the top of the sixth inning, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports. Gurriel was hustling to a flyball in left center before awkwardly falling in the top of the sixth inning. Center fielder Blaze Alexander actually came up with the ball on a diving attempt, recording a lineout by Rowdy Tellez to end the frame. After remaining down for a series of moments, Gurriel required a cart to get off the field. He was able to put weight on his feet and get into the cart himself, but it's a rather significant turn of events regardless. More information on his status will likely come in the near future.
