Lourdes Gurriel Reinstated by Diamondbacks

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. has returned to the Arizona Diamondbacks after recovering from a calf strain, marking his first game since September 1. In his comeback, he hit a pivotal homer in the sixth inning, leading the Diamondbacks to a 7-4 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers and securing sole possession of the NL's second wild-card spot. Gurriel's season stats include a .276 batting average, 18 homers, and 71 RBIs, contributing significantly to the team's playoff aspirations. Manager Torey Lovullo highlighted Gurriel's stability and consistency in the lineup. To accommodate Gurriel's return, the Diamondbacks designated infielder Luis Guillorme for assignment. This marks the first time since late July that the Diamondbacks' full position player group is healthy, although they still have some pitching absences.
