Jorge Barrosa - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Homers off bench Barrosa went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 10-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Barrosa entered the game as a defensive replacement for Corbin Carroll (back), but Carroll is expected to be fine for Tuesday versus the White Sox, per Alex D'Agostino of SI.com. As long as the Diamondbacks have their preferred outfield of Lourdes Gurriel, Alek Thomas and Carroll (from left to right) available, Barrosa is likely to be limited to a part-time role at best, though he could carve out some at-bats as a switch hitter. Barrosa's homer was his first of the season to go with five RBI, seven runs scored, seven doubles, one triple and a .243/.283/.480 slash line over 55 plate appearances.

Corbin Carroll exits game with back tightness, but Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo not concerned

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll left Sunday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays before the fifth inning because of low back tightness

Losing work with Gurriel back Barrosa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact After slashing .214/.267/.381 with six extra-base hits (five doubles, one triple), five runs and four RBI over a stretch of 12 consecutive starts, Barrosa will remain on the bench for the second day in a row. The switch-hitting Barrosa could still see regular starts against left-handed pitching, but his chances of playing on an everyday basis versus right-handers may have come to an end with Lourdes Gurriel making his return from the injured list.

Fills in at right field Barrosa started in right field and went 1-for-4 with a triple and an RBI in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Mets.

Impact Barrosa filled in for Corbin Carroll (hip), who was held out for an injury that is not considered serious, per Steve Gilbert of MLB.com. The start was Barrosa's fifth straight and sixth over the last seven contests. Regular playing time became available when Jordan Lawlar (wrist) landed on the 60-day injured list. Barrosa is batting .217 (5-for-23) with one extra-base hit and three RBI through seven games played.

Finishes off Mets Barrosa went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Mets.

Impact Barrosa got his second start in center field in place of Alek Thomas against a lefty. He finished off the the day with a two-run double in the eighth inning, his first two RBI of the season. Jordan Lawlar's wrist injury has opened a path to playing time for Barrosa, who made his fourth consecutive start Wednesday.

Making fourth straight start Barrosa will start in center field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Impact Barrosa will stick in the lineup for a fourth straight game, with the switch-hitting outfielder making two starts versus lefties and two versus righties during that stretch. With all of Pavin Smith (elbow), Carlos Santana (adductor), Jordan Lawlar (wrist) and Lourdes Gurriel (knee) on the injured list, Barrosa could have fairly clear path to regular playing time until the Diamondbacks reclaim some health. Barrosa has gone 3-for-16 with three doubles and three runs through his first five games of the season.

Sharing left field Barrosa started in left field and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Atlanta.

Impact With Jordan Lawlar (wrist) out for the next six-to-eight weeks, Barrosa is likely to share left field with Tim Tawa, who started there Friday. That rotation should continue until Lourdes Gurriel (knee) is ready to return and play the field. Barrosa has made three starts thus far and is 2-for-9 with two doubles and a run scored.

Inches closer to roster spot Barrosa is expected to earn a roster spot after the Diamondbacks reassigned Jacob Amaya to minor-league camp, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Impact Barrosa, who is out of options, was expected to land a roster spot as one of four players seeking three available bench spots. Amaya's reassignment seemingly locks in Barrosa, Tim Tawa and Ildemaro Vargas for Arizona's Opening Day roster, barring any late claims or trades over the next couple of days. Barrosa celebrated the news Sunday by going 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a Cactus League game against San Diego. He's had a strong spring and batting .333 (14-for-42) with three doubles, two triples, three home runs and nine RBI over 15 spring contests.

Out of options Barrosa is out of minor league options and likely to claim a spot on the Opening Day roster, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Diamondbacks' roster of position players is mostly set, but four candidates remain, including Barrosa, for three bench spots. That Barrosa is out of options is an advantage. He can play all three outfield positions and provide depth until Lourdes Gurriel (knee) is ready to go. Barrosa has been productive in the Cactus League, batting .324 (12-for-37) with three doubles, two triples, two home runs and eight RBI. Others in the mix are infielder/outfielder Tim Tawa and infielders Jacob Amaya and Ildemaro Vargas. Both Amaya and Vargas are non-roster invitees for whom the team would need to clear 40-man roster spots.

MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE

Homers in spring loss Barrosa started in left field and went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's spring game against the Angels.

Impact Barrosa is part of the mix to get plate appearances with both Lourdes Gurriel (knee) and Corbin Carroll (hand) unavailable. The timelines of the two injured outfielders vary, with Carroll expected back around Opening Day and Gurriel ahead of an originally estimated June return. Barrosa is joined by Jordan Lawlar, Tim Tawa and prospect Ryan Waldschmidt in the competition for playing time.

Part of platoon in LF Barrosa went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 10-5 win over the Red Sox.

Impact Barrosa started in the left field for the second time in the last three games, with both starts against a lefty. Jake McCarthy manned left field for the game in between against a right-hander. That may be manager Torey Lovullo's plan going forward as he navigates life without Lourdes Gurriel (knee) in left field. Barrosa has hit safely and scored a run in each start. The Red Sox have right-hander Lucas Giolito going Saturday, when McCarthy is expected to play left field.

Gets start in left field Barrosa started in left field and went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.

Impact In the Diamondbacks' first game without primary left-fielder Lourdes Gurriel (knee), the switch-hitting Barrosa drew the start against a left-hander (Jacob Latz). Going forward, left field could consist of Jake McCarthy against right-handers while Barrosa or Blaze Alexander take over against southpaws.
