Arizona Diamondbacks rookie outfielder Tommy Troy will undergo an MRI on his right shoulder on Monday, manager Torey Lovullo said Sunday.

The news comes one day after Troy left Saturday’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers after banging into the center field wall to make a catch in the fifth inning at Dodger Stadium. Jorge Barrosa entered the game in place of Troy.

The Diamondbacks later announced Troy left the game with a right shoulder contusion.

Lovullo said postgame that Troy was considered day-to-day due to the injury. Troy did not play in the D-backs’ 5-3 win over the Dodgers on Sunday, as rookie outfielder Ryan Waldschmidt started in center field. Waldschmidt returned to the lineup after leaving Friday’s game after being hit in the right thumb during a bunt attempt.

Since being called up in May, Troy has played in 39 games, slashing .223/.299/.364 with four home runs and nine RBIs.

Troy’s injury comes as the D-backs (49-47) enter the All-Star break still without outfielder Jordan Lawlar, who has not played since June 19 after sustaining a right hamstring strain.

Of course we all wish the best for Tommy Troy, but I'm also curious if Lourdes Gurriel is ok, as during his last at bat he appeared to have some issues with one of his knees.
