The Diamondbacks will reinstate outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. from the injured list on Monday, June 15. To make room, outfielder Ryan Waldschmidt will be optioned to Triple-A Reno.
Gurriel has been on the injured list since May 23 due to a strained left hamstring. He was hitting .228/.284/.304 with one home run in 92 at-bats at the time of the injury.
Waldschmidt, the club’s top prospect, was hitting .259/.314/.357 with no homers in 112 at-bats. His production has slipped in recent weeks; in his past 17 games, he is just 11 for 61 (.180) with a .493 OPS.
The Diamondbacks opted to keep another rookie outfielder, Tommy Troy, on the roster. Troy homered on Sunday against the Reds and is hitting .228/.323/.368 in 57 at-bats.
The club is also sticking with Jorge Barrosa, an excellent defensive outfielder who has struggled at the plate. Barrosa is out of minor league options and would have to be exposed to waivers.
