Impact Gurriel entered Saturday 0-for-22 over his last five games, and he went hitless in his first three at-bats before popping an eighth-inning homer. The 29-year-old was one of the best hitters in the majors in May, but he's cooled off dramatically by batting just .125 (5-for-40) through 11 contests in June.

Returns as designated hitter Gurriel (groin) will bat third and serve as the designated hitter in Saturday's game against Detroit.

Impact Gurriel has been out of action since Sunday, when he left a game against Atlanta with a tight right groin. He won't be asked to take the field just yet but is evidently healthy enough to hit. That's good news for the Diamondbacks, as Gurriel owns a .310/.359/.550 slash line this season, homering nine times in 53 games.

JUNE 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expected back soon Gurriel (groin) is feeling better and expected to return to the lineup soon, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

Impact Gurriel has not been able to play since leaving Sunday's game against Atlanta with tightness in his right groin. There's no guarantee that the outfielder will be able to return Saturday or even this weekend, but it does appear he's not dealing with a serious injury, and it doesn't seem likely he'll be placed on the injured list as long as there's no setback.

JUNE 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out of lineup Tuesday Gurriel is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Nationals.

Not in Sunday's lineup Gurriel was removed from the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Lifts offense in win Gurriel went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Thursday's 5-4 win over Colorado.

JUNE 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
