Tommy

Troy

Troy, who was hurt crashing into the wall in Saturday’s game, will exit the outfield mix for at least the first week back from the All-Star break, resulting in probably an additional start or two for Loudres Gurriel Jr. and Max Kepler.

Troy was forced out of Saturday’s game with a contusion on his right shoulder and wasn’t able to play Sunday. The outfielder was considered day-to-day, but obviously the results of that imaging will go a long way towards determining if he’ll need to miss significant time.

Troy left Saturday’s game versus the Dodgers with a right shoulder contusion. The 24-year-old remains day-to-day, and it seems like there’s a good chance he’ll be back in the lineup after the All-Star break, assuming there’s no structural damage, of course.

Troy was already a little hobbled after fouling a ball off his foot and then went crashing into the wall making a catch in the fifth. He’s probably day-to-day. Jorge Barrosa took over for him.

Waldschmidt didn’t seem ready the first time around, but he had dragged his strikeout rate under 20 percent in the three weeks since he returned to Triple-A. He’s probably not ready to hit homers in the majors, but if the Diamondbacks want to play him regularly, he might steal enough bases to be useful in 12-team leagues. Tommy Troy, Max Kepler and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. could all lose at-bats with Waldschmidt back.

Crushed for certain. The blast left his bat at 109.9 mph and was projected at 444 feet. That EV tops his previous major league high of 107.5 mph and also his high of 108.3 mph from his 82 Triple-A games the last two years. Troy is batting .240/.321/.413 through 84 plate appearances in the majors.

Troy homered to give the D-backs a 2-1 lead in the seventh. In the ninth, he opted to try to bunt for a hit with none on and two outs. He succeeded, and Ketel Marte followed with a two-run homer. The start tonight was Troy’s seventh in nine games since being called up (he actually arrived too late to start the first game). He has a .945 OPS, compared to .724 for Ryan Waldschmidt, and that could prove big with Jordan Lawlar and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. due back during the middle of the month.

Waldschmidt went 2-for-11 with five strikeouts in three games against the Mariners over the weekend. It’ll be fellow rookie Tommy Troy in left field on Monday night against the Dodgers to face starter Emmet Sheehan.

Good news. Gurriel was placed on the IL today because a hamstring strain. Tommy Troy figures to get most of the starts in left field for now, though he didn’t start tonight because of the late decision to have him travel to join the team.

Troy gets the nod with Lourdes Gurriel Jr. placed on the injured list with a hamstring strain. The 24-year-old was the Diamondbacks’ first-round pick back in 2023, and while his development has been up-and-down at best, he’s hit well in Triple-A this year with a .307 average and .846 OPS for the Aces. The 24-year-old will likely see time in the outfield with Gurriel unavailable, but fantasy managers should take a wait-and-see approach rather than rushing to the waiver wire.
