Lourdes Gurriel Jr.'s Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (calf) is out of the team's starting lineup for the series finale on Monday against the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers at Chase Field. Pavin Smith will make the start in left field for the Snakes and will hit fifth against Dodgers right-hander Jack Flaherty. Gurriel will take a seat to begin the new week after leaving Sunday's win over the Dodgers early due to a left-calf ailment. Until we know the full extent of his injury, fantasy managers should consider the 30-year-old to be day-to-day. The Cuban right-handed slugger has contributed modest power (17 home runs) and speed (seven steals) for fantasy managers this year while hitting a respectable .274 (133-for-486). Smith will be a DFS sleeper on Monday in the five-hole against a tough right-handed pitcher in Flaherty.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (calf) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The veteran slugger suffered a left calf injury while attempting to run out a double play in the sixth inning. As a result, Gurriel was removed from the game and is expected to undergo further testing. It wouldn't be shocking to see Gurriel miss a few games because of this injury. Jorge Barrosa took over in left field on Sunday and figures to see more playing time if Gurriel miss time. Barrosa has a limited sample size at the big league level, so he's not an ideal fantasy option right now.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is not in Sunday's lineup as the Diamondbacks look to complete a three-game sweep against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday afternoon. Gurriel has held a strong .361/.442/.500 line in his past ten games but will take a seat for the second time this week. As a result, Pavin Smith will get the starting nod in left field and bat in the five-hole. Smith was recalled from Triple-A Reno earlier this week but has yet to tally a hit since returning to the big leagues. Fantasy managers should expect Gurriel to return to the starting nine as they host the New York Mets on Tuesday evening. Smith should be faded in DFS this afternoon as he will face Boston right-hander Tanner Houck, who has posted a quality start in each of his past three outings.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. totaled four RBI with a steal in Wednesday evening's win over the hosting Miami Marlins at LoanDepot Park. After crushing a solo home run off Marlins right-hander Edward Cabrera to left field to extend the D-backs' lead to 3-1 in the sixth inning, Gurriel lined a bases-clearing double to center to put Arizona up 7-6 in the seventh frame. He then added an RBI single in the ninth for good measure. In his last 23 outings, the 30-year-old lefty-mashing left fielder is hitting a strong .342 (27-for-79) with two homers, nine RBI, and 16 runs scored,

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is sitting out on Wednesday against the Miami Marlins at loanDepot Park. It appears to be a normal day of rest for Gurriel, who hit a home run in the last game of the series on Tuesday in Miami. Pavin Smith will draw into the starting lineup in left field and will bat fifth for the Snakes against Marlins right-hander Roddery Munoz. The 30-year-old Gurriel is currently on a three-game hitting streak and is batting .278 (15-for-54) with a homer, a double, three RBI, seven walks and a stolen base in 15 games so far in the month of August. After a scheduled off day on Thursday, Gurriel should be back in left field for Arizona on Friday at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox. Smith, who hits from the left side, has only appeared in 31 games in 2024 and has hit .258 (17-for-66) with three home runs and 16 RBI in 73 trips to the plate.
