Makes second straight start
Barrosa started in center field and went 0-for-2 in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Minnesota.
Analysis
Barrosa made a second consecutive start in center field after the club placed Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Saturday. He's projected to miss between four and six weeks, which means an opportunity for the light-hitting Barrosa, who is slashing .181/.252/.352 over 119 plate appearances. Prospect Tommy Troy is also an option, but manager Torey Lovullo wants him to work with outfielders coach Dave McKay before entrusting him to center field, per Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports.

Homer, double in loss
Barrosa went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a double, a walk and three total runs scored in Saturday's 16-8 loss to the Twins.
Analysis
Barrosa is trending toward at least a strong-side platoon role in center field while Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) is on the injured list. Getting the start Saturday, Barrosa was able to make a rare impact with the bat in his first multi-hit game since May 1. The outfielder is batting just .184 with a .616 OPS, two homers, nine RBI, 14 runs scored, 10 doubles, one triple and no stolen bases over 116 plate appearances.

Finishes in center field Friday
Barrosa entered Friday's game as a pinch runner and finished out Arizona's 9-5 win over the Twins in center field. He went 0-for-1 in his lone plate appearance.
Analysis
Barrosa, who initially entered as a pinch runner for left fielder Lourdes Gurriel in the seventh inning, stayed in the game to play center field while Jordan Lawlar moved to left. An inning later, Lawlar was removed from the game due to a hamstring injury and potentially faces a second stint on the IL this season. If Lawlar misses time, either Barrosa or Tommy Troy could play center field.
