Gurriel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
Gurriel will get a breather for the matinee contest after he went 1-for-8 with an RBI while making starts in left field and at designated hitter the previous two nights following his return from the 10-day injured list Monday. Arizona will go with Ketel Marte in the DH spot Wednesday, while Tommy Troy, Jordan Lawlar and Corbin Carroll fill out the outfield from left to right.

The 32-year-old could see most of his playing time at designated hitter for the Diamondbacks, though left field is also an option.

Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Poised for activation Monday
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks are expected to reinstate Gurriel (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game against the Angels, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
Arizona plans to option outfielder Ryan Waldschmidt to Triple-A Reno to clear a spot on the active roster for Gurriel, who has been shelved since May 23 due to a left hamstring strain. Gurriel looks to have made a full recovery from the injury after making three of his starts in left field during his five-game rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League last week, going 4-for-16 with a double and a walk during those contests.

Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Not ready to return from IL
Rotowire
Gurriel (hamstring) appears on track to begin a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League as soon as next Monday, MLB.com reports.
Though Gurriel is eligible to return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, he'll need some more time to fully heal from the left hamstring injury that he sustained on a sliding catch during a May 22 game against the Rockies. According to the report, Gurriel has resumed running, taking part in outfield drills and taking batting practice against a machine since landing on the IL. He'll likely increase the intensity of his workouts this week before heading out on a rehab assignment and potentially making his return to the Arizona lineup around the middle of June.

Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks placed Gurriel on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left hamstring strain.
Gurriel was pulled from Friday's contest with hamstring tightness after making a sliding catch in the outfield. Further evaluation confirmed that he suffered a strain, so he'll move to the injured list and remain sidelined until at least June 2. In the meantime, Jorge Barrosa and Tim Tawa are candidates for extra reps in the outfield, though Tommy Troy looks like the main beneficiary in terms of playing time.

Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Clouts first homer in win
Rotowire

Gurriel had a run-producing single in the third inning and then belted a solo home run in the fifth. It was the first homer of the season for Gurriel, who's had a slow start since being activated off the 60-day injured list in April; however, the bat has showed recent life.

Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Debuts in left field
Rotowire
Gurriel started in left field and went 0-for-4 in Saturday's 6-2 win over Toronto.
Gurriel made his season debut and return from ACL surgery. It was also significant that he played left field, as manager Torey Lovullo earlier suggested that Gurriel would be given a slow buildup as the designated hitter. With Jordan Lawlar (wrist) out until at least early June, however, Arizona's roster needs have changed since then.
The Diamondbacks reinstated Gurriel (knee) from the injured list Saturday.
Just seven months after undergoing ACL repair surgery in September, Gurriel will return from the injured list to make his season debut against the Blue Jays. He will likely be limited to DH duties to begin with but is expected to eventually return to his normal place in left field. Luken Baker was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Arrives at camp
Rotowire
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: August tear continues
Rotowire
Gurriel went 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run and three RBI in Monday's 7-5 loss to the Brewers.
Gurriel unloaded a three-run home run in the sixth inning, his 19th big fly and fifth in the last 11 games. It was part of a five-run sixth for the Diamondbacks, who took a while to get their bats going after travel delays forced them to arrive in Milwaukee early Monday morning. Gurriel continued to produce with men on base this month, having knocked in 32 runs in 23 August games. He's up to 80 RBI for the season, four shy of the career-best 84 posted in 2021 when Gurriel played for Toronto.
Gurriel went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Friday's 6-5 extra-innings win over the Reds.
Gurriel produced the Diamondbacks' first run with a first-inning sacrifice fly and then ended matters in the 11th with a run-scoring single. He's hit safely in eight consecutive contests, with three home runs. He has 14 RBI during the hit streak and 25 over 20 August contests.
