Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Left out of lineup Tuesday
Rotowire
Troy is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.
Arizona will go with Jorge Barrosa in center field while Troy receives his first day off since June 19. Troy had started in the Diamondbacks' previous eight games, slashing .179/.207/.321 with one home run, four runs and three RBI over that stretch. His last five starts came in center, and he looks set to receive most of the playing time at that position with Ryan Waldschmidt back in the minors and with Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) likely out until at least late July.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Sticking in center field
Rotowire
Troy started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Monday's 5-4 win over San Francisco.
Troy singled and scored on Geraldo Perdomo's bases-clearing double in the fifth inning. It was the seventh consecutive start in center field for Troy, who's made a quick transition from left field since Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) was felled by injury. The Diamondbacks also have Jorge Barrosa, who was a late defensive replacement there Monday, but Troy's bat won out and moved him to the top of the depth chart.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Moves to center field
Rotowire
Troy started in center field and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday's 4-3 win over St. Louis.
The Diamondbacks have rotated bodies in center field since Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) landed on the injured list. It was Troy's turn Tuesday after Jorge Barrosa and Tim Tawa took turns the last two days. Of the three, Troy has been the most impactful batter and could be the primary center fielder while Lawlar heals. Troy had mainly defended left field, but that's not a full-time option any longer with Lourdes Gurriel back from injury.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Homers in loss
Rotowire
Troy started in left field and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 loss to St. Louis.
Troy crushed a fastball 444 feet to dead center field in the seventh inning, his third homer in 25 games. This was the third consecutive start in left field for Troy, who is in line for a regular role in starting lineups and may eventually see time in center field following the injury to Jordan Lawlar (hamstring). Lourdes Gurriel, who normally starts in left field and recently returned from a stint on the injured list due to a hamstring issue, operated as the DH for the second time in the last three contests.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Needs work to learn CF
Rotowire
Troy will work with Diamondbacks outfielders coach Dave McKay to learn defending center field, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.
Troy started the last two games in left field, while Jorge Barrosa replaced the injured Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) in center field, but Troy is considered the better hitter of the two. While he's played some center field in the upper minors and for Arizona, Troy is more comfortable in left. Given that left fielder Lourdes Gurriel is back from injury, finding a home for Troy in center field makes sense.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Enters for injured teammate
Rotowire
Troy entered Friday's game as a pinch runner after Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) was removed in the eighth inning. The former did not register a plate appearance but scored a run and finished Arizona's 9-5 win over Minnesota in left field.
Lawlar, who has been the primary center fielder since coming off the injured list earlier this month, will undergo imaging Saturday and could end up on the IL again, per Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. Troy has played only in left field since being called up to Arizona but has center-field experience in the minors. If Lawlar misses time, Troy or Jorge Barrosa could defend center field.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Taking seat Friday
Rotowire
Troy isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Twins, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.
Troy will get a breather during Friday's series opener after going 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored during Thursday's contest. His absence will put Lourdes Gurriel in left field, giving LuJames Groover a start as Arizona's DH.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Drives in two in win
Rotowire
Troy started in left field and went 2-for-4 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 8-1 win over the Angels.
Troy evened the game at 1-1 with a second-inning triple and then singled home a run in the sixth. He's scuffled following a strong introduction to the majors and entered Wednesday on a 2-for-24 (.083) stretch. Despite that, he held onto a roster spot when Lourdes Gurriel was brought back from the injured list Monday. Instead, the Diamondbacks optioned Ryan Waldschmidt back to Triple-A Reno. Gurriel is expected to get the bulk of the work in left field, and it's unclear how long Arizona will keep Troy around in a role where the prospect isn't getting a steady dose of at-bats.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Swats homer in win
Rotowire
Troy went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-3 win over Cincinnati.
Troy got the Diamondbacks on the board in the third inning, when he tied the game at 1-1 with his second home run since being called up in May. After a strong two-week run upon his introduction to the majors, the prospect has slumped over the last week, going 2-for-21 with a 24.0 strikeout percentage over the last seven contests. When the club decides to bring Lourdes Gurriel (hamstring) off the injured list, Troy's roster spot could be in jeopardy.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Clubs first homer
Rotowire
Troy went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 4-1 win over the Dodgers.
Troy got the Diamondbacks on the board in the sixth inning, cranking a solo shot into the left-field stands for his first big-league homer and RBI. Called up May 23 in the wake of Lourdes Gurriel (hamstring) landing on the injured list, Troy has seen regular opportunities in left field and is making the most of them, slashing .318/.400/.545 with three extra-base hits and seven runs across 25 plate appearances. The 24-year-old's positional versatility should help him maintain a roster spot and compete for playing time even when Gurriel returns to health.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Resting Sunday
Rotowire
Troy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.
Troy will hit the bench for the series finale while the Diamondbacks go with Tim Tawa in left field. The 24-year-old Troy had started in each of Arizona's last six games, going 5-for-19 with two doubles and a 3:4 BB:K while scoring five runs.

Troy, who made his MLB debut Sunday, doubled and scored in the second and sixth innings. He was called up from Triple-A Reno when the Diamondbacks placed left fielder Lourdes Gurriel (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list. Troy joins a group of potential fill-ins that includes Jorge Barrosa and Tim Tawa, but manager Torey Lovullo indicated that Troy will get plenty of opportunities while Gurriel is out, per Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Expected to get 'runway' in left
Rotowire
Manager Torey Lovullo intimated Saturday that Troy will get some runway in left field while Lourdes Gurriel (hamstring) is out, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
A top prospect in the organization, Troy received his first MLB call-up Saturday after slashing .307/.397/.449 with three homers and six steals in 205 plate appearances at Triple-A Reno to begin the campaign. He will not start Saturday night given how late in the day the team finalized the decision to place Gurriel on the injured list, but it sounds like Troy will see regular at-bats for Arizona in the weeks ahead. The 24-year-old Troy has played second base and center field in addition to left in his time with Reno this season.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Contract selected
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks selected Troy's contract from Triple-A Reno on Saturday.
With Lourdes Gurriel (hamstring) landing on the injured list Saturday, the Diamondbacks will call upon Troy to add depth to their position-player group. The 24-year-old has slashed .307/.397/.449 with three homers, 28 RBI, 39 runs and six steals through 205 plate appearances at Reno, and he's capable of playing in the outfield and middle infield. He'll be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Strong spring continues
Rotowire
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.
