It was a bit of a run for Gurriel, who had to go into a slide to make an impressive catch. Immediately upon getting up, he appeared to be in some pain, and a trainer quickly came out to check on the veteran outfielder.Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel Jr. leaves game with injuryMay 8, 2026; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. against the New York Mets at Chase Field.

Rebilas-Imagn ImagesAfter a discussion with the trainer and manager Torey Lovullo, Gurriel exited the game on foot, without the aid of the cart. Gurriel was replaced by Jorge Barrosa, who took over center field, pushing rookie Ryan Waldschmidt over to left. There is no designation as of this writing as to just what type of injury Gurriel may have sustained, though it is worth noting he is just under nine months removed from ACL surgery after injuring his right knee on a play in September of 2025. Though Gurriel did return extremely swiftly from his ACL tear, he has yet to truly get into one of his patented hot streaks thus far in the 2026 season. He's hit to just a .228/.284/.304 slash with one home run since coming back from his knee injury. The Diamondbacks' offense has been hot of late, so they haven't been in dire need of one of Gurriel's red-hot stretches, but he's certainly struggled to produce at a high level since coming back. He was 1-for-1 with an RBI double and a sacrfice fly. At the time of his removal from the game, he had accounted for both of Arizona's runs. Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
