Lourdes Gurriel Jr. suffers a torn ACL, ending a torrid August with Diamondbacks at the plate. Arizona will lean on internal depth as Connor Kaiser enters the roster, Blaze Alexander eyes a bigger chance in the outfield, and Jorge Barrosa starts in left. With a six-to-nine month recovery window, Opening Day 2026 is in doubt, shaping the D-backs’ offseason plans around Gurriel’s 13 million 2026 salary and a 14 million 2027 option with a 5 million buyout.
