Gurriel DFA'd as D-backs pivot | Arizona Diamondbacks News

The Diamondbacks shock fans by DFAing Lourdes Gurriel Jr., a once-reliable bat who’s struggled this season after a knee injury derailed his form — despite signing a lucrative 3-year, $42M deal. In comes Jose Fernandez from Triple-A Reno to fill the void. Gurriel’s departure stings, especially with a $5M buyout still on the table, but Arizona’s looking ahead to face the Rangers with ace Eduardo Rodriguez on the mound — a pitcher leading the team in wins and innings. The future’s uncertain, but the Diamondbacks are pivoting to keep their playoff push alive. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
