Availability
The D-backs have optioned infielder LuJames Groover to Triple-A Reno.
Fantasy Impact
Groover has appeared in 15 games for the D-backs this season, hitting just .167 with a homer and four RBI across 54 trips to the plate. Utility man Tim Tawa was promoted from Reno in a corresponding move.
LuJames Groover went 1-for-3 with a home run in the Diamondbacks 9-4 win over the Cardinals on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Groover was making his 12th start since being called up early in June. He is slashing .186/.286/.302 on the season.
LuJames Groover went 1-for-3 with an RBI single on Saturday as the Diamondbacks suffered a 6-1 loss to the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact
Groover laced a run-scoring single in the fifth off of Zack Littell for his first career hit and first career RBI. The 10th-ranked prospect in Arizona's system, Groover is 1-for-7 in his first two big league games, though he has put the ball in play in all seven of his plate appearances. At the time of his call-up, he was batting .322 with three home runs, 39 RBI, and two stolen bases at Triple-A Reno. Groover is a solid contact hitter with an occasional home run thrown into the mix. He's definitely worth watching, but don't go rushing to the waiver wire just yet.
The Diamondbacks selected the contract of LuJames Groover.
Fantasy Impact
Groover will add depth in the infield for Arizona. Jose Fernandez was optioned as the corresponding move.
