Availability
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. has progressed to playing in simulated games.
Fantasy Impact
Gurriel remains on track to return in late April. He is continuing to work his way back from a torn ACL he suffered last season.
The Diamondbacks placed OF Lourdes Gurriel Jr. on the 10-day injured list following right ACL surgery.
Fantasy Impact
Gurriel is continuing to progress on his way back from ACL surgery. It is unclear how much longer he'll be sidelined for.
Gurriel has not suffered a setback and is well ahead of schedule in his rehab, but he's not expected to appear in a Cactus League game before camp ends. The timeline has effectively closed the door on an Opening Day roster spot.
Fantasy Impact
He'll continue taking at-bats on the back fields and is targeting a mid-April return.
D-backs outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (knee) could play in spring games by the end of the month.
Fantasy Impact
Gurriel has been taking live at-bats on the back fields at camp and will begin running the bases soon. The knee issue likely contributed to the worst season of the 32-year-old's career in 2025, when he hit .248 with 19 home runs and a .713 OPS across 129 games.
Gurriel is pushing to be ready for Opening Day and a Cactus League appearance as a designated hitter remains on the table. However, comments from manager Torey Lovullo earlier this spring indicate the team is inclined to take a more precautionary approach.
Fantasy Impact
Mid-April is the current projected window for Gurriel to return to game action.
