"Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is less than eight months removed from tearing his ACL near the end of the 2025 season. He is on track to smash the typical 9-10 month recovery timeline."
"Gurriel was back on the field Wednesday, walking and doubling in four plate appearances with Double-A Amarillo, followed by a three-run home run in last night's game."
"The Diamondbacks have struggled to get production from their left fielders, especially since Jordan Lawlar went down, holding the sixth-lowest OPS at the position at .553."
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is expected to return to the Diamondbacks lineup soon, potentially this weekend against the Blue Jays. He is recovering from an ACL tear sustained in September 2025. Gurriel has shown significant improvement, recently playing for Double-A Amarillo, where he recorded a walk, a double, and a three-run home run. Initially planned to return as a designated hitter, his rapid recovery may allow him to play in the outfield. The Diamondbacks have struggled with left field production since Jordan Lawlar's injury, holding the sixth-lowest OPS at that position.
