"The Diamondbacks announced today that right-hander Taylor Rashi and infielder Connor Kaiser have been recalled from Triple-A Reno. In corresponding moves, they have optioned Juan Burgos to Reno and placed outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. on the 10-day injured list with a torn right ACL. It was apparent that Gurriel was injured last night. He and center fielder Blaze Alexander were both chasing a ball in the gap."
"Gurriel hopped to avoid his teammate but then collapsed on the ground in obvious pain. He eventually had to be carted off, unable to properly put weight on his leg. Today's diagnosis is obviously awful for both Gurriel and the Snakes. They haven't announced an expected timeline but a torn ACL can often require something close to a year of recovery before the player is back to full strength."

Gurriel and center fielder Blaze Alexander collided while chasing a ball; Gurriel hopped to avoid his teammate, collapsed in pain, and had to be carted off because he could not properly bear weight on his leg. A torn ACL diagnosis typically requires close to a year for full recovery. Gurriel will miss the remainder of the season and a significant portion of 2026.
