Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Fantasy Stats

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (knee) will undergo surgery this Thursday to fix the torn ACL in his knee, according to Francys Romero. Gurriel is expected to be facing a nine- to 10-month recovery, which means he's not going to be ready for the start of the 2026 campaign. Depending on how his rehab goes, the 31-year-old veteran might be able to return just before the All-Star break in mid-July next year. He injured his knee back on Sept. 2 while trying to avoid a collision in the left-center gap with Blaze Alexander and had to be carted off the field. The Cuban outfielder was once again a solid source of power in 2025 in his third year in the desert before getting hurt, slashing .248/.295/.418 but with a career-low .713 OPS, 19 homers, 80 RBI, a career-high 10 steals, and 52 runs in 129 games played. Jake McCarthy should see most of the starts in left in Arizona the rest of the way.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (knee) will undergo surgery to repair a torn ACL in his right knee. Manager Torey Lovullo said on Friday that surgery for the veteran would be imminent. The 31-year-old suffered the injury on September 1 while he was tracking a fly ball and trying to avoid a teammate. Due to this severe ailment, he will miss the rest of 2025, and there is some belief that he will also miss at least two months of the 2026 season. Jake McCarthy should receive every day playing time as a result of his absence.

The Arizona Diamondbacks announced on Tuesday that they placed outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (knee) on the 10-day injured list with a tear in his right ACL and recalled infielder Connor Kaiser from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move. Gurriel suffered the season-ending injury in Monday's loss to the Texas Rangers while trying to avoid crashing into teammate Blaze Alexander in the outfield. It's a tough break for the 31-year-old veteran, who will finish the 2025 season with a .248/.295/.418 slash line, .713 OPS, 19 home runs, 80 RBI, 52 runs scored and a career-high 10 stolen bases in 129 games in his third year with the team. Although he is unlikely to be ready for the start of the 2026 season, Gurriel will most likely exercise his $13 million player option. Jake McCarthy is likely to benefit the most to close out the regular season in left field for the Snakes with Gurriel now done.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (knee) was carted off the field in Monday's 7-5 extra-inning loss to the Rangers with knee pain/discomfort, per manager Torey Lovullo. Gurriel Jr. was getting out of the way of a Blaze Alexander sliding catch in the outfield in the sixth inning when he went down without contact. Luvollo said the team will no more on the severity of the injury after imaging on Tuesday but said, "It doesn't look great". Fantasy managers should keep an eye out for further updates, although they may want to err on the side of caution given how the injury looked and Luvollo's comments. Gurriel Jr. owns a .248/.295/.418 slash lien this season with 19 home runs, 80 RBI, and 10 stolen bases in 546 plate appearances.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. could be on the move ahead of this year's trade deadline. The assumption is that the D-Backs are going to be heavy sellers at the deadline this summer. This team has a handful of players on expiring deals that could help contending organizations. The obvious targets are Merrill Kelly, Zac Gallen, and Eugenio Suarez. However, the D-Backs are also reportedly getting calls about Gurriel's availability. Gurriel is having a down year, slashing .245/.295/.406 with 12 home runs, 48 RBI, and seven steals in 95 games. The good news is that Gurriel is signed through 2026 with a team option for 2027. Gurriel has a good track record with a WAR of 2.0 or better in each of the last four seasons coming into 2025. The D-Backs should be able to get a decent return on Gurriel even with his stats being down right now.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a stolen base, and a second run scored in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Mariners. The home run was his 10th of the season, and it came in the fourth inning off Logan Evans to extend the Diamondbacks' lead to 3-0. Gurriel is having a steady 2025 campaign thus far, slashing .258/.304/.446 with 10 home runs, 37 RBI, 24 runs scored, and four stolen bases. He also continues to bat fifth or sixth in one of the best offenses in baseball (fourth in runs scored) and should continue to provide fantasy managers with opportunities to continue to contribute at a high level. In points leagues specifically, he does not strike out a ton (14.4 percent), so that, combined with his ability to drive in runs, makes him a valuable asset.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. had a key home run in the third inning against Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Landon Knack to help the D-backs knock off their division rivals on Monday night by a score of 9-5. Gurriel finished the game 1-for-4 with two runs scored, two RBI, and a walk. His two-run homer extended Arizona's lead to 5-0 at the time and gave him four home runs in his last 15 games. Over his last 18 games, Gurriel is hitting .310 with a .421 wOBA and 41.7% hard-hit rate. He's also had eight barrels in those 18 games after just six barrels in his first 26 games. The 31-year-old is turning things around after a slow start and continues to hit in a premium lineup spot, especially against left-handed starting pitchers. He can be a solid pickup from waiver wires if you need solid all-around hitting contributions from an outfielder.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Gurriel came up with a clutch hit on Friday when he blasted a game-tying grand slam and totaled five RBI in the loss. The right-handed slugger has played in 12 straight games, so he'll get a routine rest day on Saturday. As a result, Tim Tawa will get the start in left field and bat eighth versus right-hander Dustin May. Fantasy managers should expect Gurriel to be back in the lineup following Saturday's game.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. went 1-for-5 with a grand slam and an RBI groundout in Friday's 14-11 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Gurriel hit an RBI groundout in the bottom of the fourth inning to cut the Dodgers' lead to 8-4. In his next at-bat, the 31-year-old belted a grand slam off Dodgers pitcher Anthony Banda in the bottom of the fifth inning to tie the game 8-8. His home run traveled 401 feet with an exit velocity of 105.9 mph. He has now collected a hit in six of his last nine games and is hitting .306 (11-for-36) with three home runs and 10 RBI in May. Overall, Gurriel is slashing .213/.238/.418 with seven home runs, 25 RBI, 14 runs, and a stolen base across 151 plate appearances. Fantasy managers should continue to roll with Gurriel while he's swinging a hot bat as he looks to build on Friday's performance in this weekend's series against Los Angeles.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, two RBI, and a run scored in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Phillies. It was the 6-foot-3 slugger's third multi-hit game in his last four, going 8-for-16 (.500) over that stretch with three doubles, a home run, three RBI, and three runs scored. Hitting just .214 on the season, his xBA of .260 suggests the results should have been better (.196 BABIP), and perhaps this four-game stretch is the beginning of a turnaround that gets him back to a more respectable batting average. The Cuban's 83.5 percent contact rate and 11.2 percent strikeout rate are the best of his career, so look for him to add to his .214-5-18-11-1 line.
