Returns to Triple-A The Diamondbacks optioned Barrosa to Triple-A Reno on Friday, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact The 23-year-old joined Arizona when big-league rosters expanded to 28 players Sunday, but he'll head back to Triple-A with Ketel Marte (ankle) returning from the injured list. Barrosa has a .470 OPS in eight big-league games this season and has a .269/.364/.423 slash line with six homers and 10 steals in 61 contests at Triple-A.

Swipes bag in win Barrosa started in center field and went 0-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-7 win over the Giants.

Impact Barrosa, who made his first start since being called up as part of the September roster expansion, stole his first base as a major leaguer. The 23-year-old outfielder had double-digit swipes in four consecutive minor league seasons prior to making his MLB in 2024. There could be more opportunities for the switch-hitter, as Arizona placed Lourdes Gurriel (calf) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, although Randal Grichuk figures to be the primary fill-in.

Enters for injured starter Barrosa went 1-for-1 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 14-3 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Barrosa entered the game after starter Lourdes Gurriel injured his calf running out a double-play grounder. Gurriel is expected to undergo imaging as soon as possible to determine the severity of the injury, per Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. A tandem of the switch-hitting Barrosa and Randal Grichuk would likely take Gurriel's spot in the lineup if he misses time.

Summoned from Triple-A The Diamondbacks recalled Barrosa from Triple-A Reno prior to Sunday's 14-3 win over the Dodgers. He came off the bench in the victory, doubling in his lone at-bat and playing thre...

Impact Barrosa is back with the big club for the second time this season following a brief stint with the Diamondbacks in April. Though he entered Sunday's game in place of an injured Lourdes Gurriel (leg), Randal Grichuk may be in line ahead of Barrosa to claim a regular spot in the outfield alongside Corbin Carroll and Jake McCarthy if Gurriel ends up missing time. The 23-year-old Barrosa is one of Arizona's better prospects, but he's unproven at the big-league level and turned in a solid but unspectacular .787 OPS in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League this season prior to his promotion.

Lands on MiLB IL Triple-A Reno placed Barrosa on the 7-day injured list Thursday due to a right hamstring strain, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports.

Impact Barrosa hasn't been on the field since last Sunday, when he suffered the injury. His absence impacts the Diamondbacks, as Barrosa is the only minor-league outfielder on the club's 40-man roster. He played three games for Arizona earlier this season after Alek Thomas (hamstring) suffered his injury and before Randal Grichuk was activated. Barrosa is swinging a hot bat for Aces, posting an average of .308 with a .900 OPS.

Impact Barrosa doubled as a pinch-hitter Monday in his first major-league game and will garner his first start Tuesday. The switch-hitting outfielder will face the Yankees' Nestor Cortes in this one and could see regular starts against lefties while Alek Thomas (hamstring) is out.

Lashes double in first MLB AB Barrosa entered Monday's game as a pinch hitter and went 1-for-1 with a double in a 5-2 loss to the Yankees.

Impact Barrosa, who made his MLB debut with the plate appearance, was called up earlier in the day after Arizona placed Alek Thomas (hamstring) on the injured list. He replaced the lefty-hitting Jake McCarthy against left-hander Victor Gonzalez in the bottom of the ninth inning. While McCarthy figures to benefit the most from Thomas' injury, the 23-year-old switch-hitting Barrosa gives manager Torey Lovullo another lever to pull.

Summoned to big leagues Barrosa was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Monday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact It's the first big-league promotion for Barrosa, who slashed .274/.394/.456 with 13 home runs and 15 stolen bases at Reno last season. The switch-hitting 23-year-old is capable of playing all three outfield spots and will likely serve mostly as a fourth outfielder.

Impact Barrosa required only a brief stint on Reno's IL to begin the season while he worked his way back from the strained right hamstring he suffered in a Feb. 26 Cactus League game. Now that he's healthy again, the 22-year-old switch-hitting outfielder appears set to fill an everyday role for the Diamondbacks' top affiliate.

Optioned to Triple-A Barrosa (hamstring) was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Friday.

Impact Barrosa strained his hamstring earlier this month and will miss the first few weeks of the season, but he will reach Triple-A for the first time in his career once he's healthy. The 22-year-old outfield prospect slashed .276/.374/.438 with 12 homers and 51 RBI with Double-A Amarillo last season.

Impact Barrosa suffered a strained right hamstring while trying to track down a ball in the outfield. The 22-year-old is considered one of the organization's better defensive outfielders and has stolen double-digit bases the last three seasons.

Leaves Saturday's game Barrosa was removed from Saturday's game due to hamstring tightness, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Barrosa started in center field against the Rockies and walked in his only at-bat before being removed in the bottom of the second inning. He reached Double-A Amarillo in 2022 and is not expected to be part of the MLB roster in 2023. Barrosa's best assets are defense and speed. He stole 26 bases (caught 12 times) over two minor-league stops in 2022.
