Impact Gurriel, who played 145 games in 2023, was on pace for a similar number last season before a September calf injury limited his availability as Arizona made a push for the postseason. The 31-year-old outfielder experienced a drop in slugging (.435, 61st in MLB) and ranked 114th with 42 extra-base in 2024, which might be a factor in the manager's desire to give Gurriel more time off. Lovullo's goal of keeping him healthy through the course of the season is prudent, but Gurriel is still expected to see the bulk of the playing time in left field.
