Gurriel Nears Return, Crowding Outfield
14 Jun
Summary
- Gurriel's hamstring injury is improving.
- He is expected to play games in Arizona.
- His return creates a crowded outfield situation.

Gurriel's hamstring recovery is progressing, with his status to be reassessed following games on Friday and Saturday in the Arizona Complex League. He has participated in five of the last six games for the ACL D-backs, alternating between left field and designated hitter. This indicates he is nearing a full return to action.
His eventual integration into the team will create a crowded outfield scenario, as the team already boasts significant depth. While Corbin Carroll's position is secure, manager Torey Lovullo will face the challenge of allocating playing time among Gurriel, Jordan Lawlar, Ryan Waldschmidt, and Tommy Troy.
