2023 Fantasy Outlook
Gurriel maintained a high batting average and on base rate, but his power fell to a career low. At the end of the season, it was revealed he had been playing with a wrist issue, which required surgery in the offseason. Gurriel also missed most of September with a sore hamstring. he chased less, resulting in a personal-low strikeout rate. Gurriel's batted ball distribution was typical, but he hit grounders harder while losing exit velocity on fly balls, dropping his HR/FB to a meager 4.2%. Gurriel hit a career-high 32 doubles, so he was more useful in points-leagues. Gurriel is slated to be healthy in the spring and should remain in left field after being traded to the Diamondbacks, though he'll need to compete for playing time with the club's young plethora of outfielders. It's unclear how much of his drop in homers was related to playing with a sore wrist. With no steals and possibly waning power, Gurriel has slipped to a back-end outfielder in mixed leagues, best used as a batting average stabilizer, especially with his chances for runs and RBI likely to diminish in a weaker Arizona lineup.

Returns as designated hitter
Gurriel (groin) will bat third and serve as the designated hitter in Saturday's game against Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Gurriel has been out of action since Sunday, when he left a game against Atlanta with a tight right groin. He won't be asked to take the field just yet but is evidently healthy enough to hit. That's good news for the Diamondbacks, as Gurriel owns a .310/.359/.550 slash line this season, homering nine times in 53 games.

2017
Gurriel had an OK season, providing some power with a decent batting average. Even though his steals are drying up (one steal in four attempts), he was a fine third or fourth outfielder. The season didn't start out great for him, with Gurriel posting a .710 first-half OPS, but he raised it in the second half to .889. He improved across the board, especially with his walk rate doubling (3.8% to 8.8%) and his strikeout rate dropping (20.1% to 17.1%). Being more selective meant his Isolated Power (.160 to .233) and BABIP (.296 to .318) improved. He might have been struggling early with COVID systems but eventually got healthy. It's tough to know if he'll keep the second-half gains, but that upside does exist for him. Pay for the 2021 season knowing there is a second gear.
