Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Returns For Diamondbacks

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (shoulder) is in left field and is batting sixth against the Chicago White Sox and right-hander Touki Toussaint on Thursday. Gurriel is right back in there after being scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup due to left-shoulder tightness that he experienced while taking batting practice. The 29-year-old has been a consistent producer all year and will be a boost for an Arizona club trying to secure one of the final two wild-card spots in the National League before the end of the regular season this Sunday. Gurriel is hitting .262 (140-for-535) with 24 homers, 81 RBI, four stolen bases and 65 runs scored on the year and should be returned to fantasy lineups in a good matchup on Thursday.

Gurriel said after Wednesday's game that he was feeling much better and he could return to the series finale on Thursday in Chicago.

In his first season in the desert, Gurriel has been very valuable to the Snakes and fantasy managers, slashing .262/.311/.467 with a career-high 24 home runs, 34 doubles, two triples, 81 RBI, four stolen bases and 65 runs scored in 141 games.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Returns To Friday's Action

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (hip) has returned to the starting lineup on Friday and is serving as the designated hitter and batting fifth in the order against San Diego Padres right-hander Seth Lugo. Gurriel missed the series opener in San Diego on Thursday after leaving Wednesday's game against the Colorado Rockies early with a bruised left hip. It wasn't a serious injury, though, and the 29-year-old will be available again for his fantasy managers. Gurriel will look to keep his bat hot on Friday, as he's gone 16-for-49 (.327) with four home runs, two doubles, seven RBI, two stolen bases and eight runs scored in 14 games (13 starts) so far in August. He made the All-Star team in his first year in Arizona and is currently batting .258 (106-for-411) with 19 home runs, 64 RBI, four steals and 49 runs in 108 games played. Gurriel is two long balls shy of matching his career-high 21 homers set in 2021 with Toronto.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Not Seen In Thursday's Lineup

Arizona Diamondbacks designated hitter/outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (hip) is out of Thursday's lineup against the San Diego Padres. The 29-year-old came out of Wednesday's contest with a left hip contusion and will miss at least one game with the setback. Consider Gurriel day-to-day. It's an inopportune time to go down since he was trending up in August with a .327 BA (16-for-49), four home runs, seven RBI, and two stolen bases in 14 games this month. Tommy Pham checks in at left field to bat third while Kyle Lewis is DHing out of the leadoff spot versus veteran left-hander Rich Hill on Thursday.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Taking A Seat On Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder/outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is not in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the San Diego Padres.

Overall, he's slashing .256/.306/.465 with 18 home runs, 61 RBI, and three stolen bases over 398 at-bats.
