Lourdes Gurriel Jr. will undergo surgery and rehabilitation, ending his season with a .249 batting average, 19 home runs, and 80 RBIs, affecting Diamondbacks' playoff hopes.
- On Tuesday, the Arizona Diamondbacks announced Lourdes Gurriel Jr. was diagnosed with a torn right ACL and placed on the 10-day injured list, with an uncertain recovery timeline.
