Diamondbacks’ Lourdes Gurriel Jr. begins rehab assignment

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. logged an RBI as he began his rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League on Monday.

In the bottom of the fourth, Gurriel recorded a two-out RBI single to extend the ACL D-backs’ lead to 4-2 over the ACL Colorado Rockies.

That was the left fielder’s only time reaching base on Monday, with Gurriel going 1-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts.

After working his way back from a torn ACL suffered last year, Gurriel went back on the 10-day injured list on May 23 due to a left hamstring strain.

The outfielder has appeared in 25 games for the Diamondbacks this year. He is slashing .228/.284/.304 with a .589 OPS. He has recorded a home run, 11 RBIs, one stolen base and eight walks to 19 strikeouts.

With Gurriel on the IL, the Diamondbacks have turned to young outfielder Tommy Troy. He is slashing .275/.370/.400 with a .770 OPS since being called up.

The Diamondbacks are back in action Tuesday against the Miami Marlins. First pitch is slated for 3:40 p.m. MST, with coverage on Arizona Sports 98.7.
