The Diamondbacks placed Gurriel (knee) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.
Analysis
Gurriel is on the mend from Sept. 11 surgery to address a torn ACL in his right knee and is likely to remain on the shelf for at least the first month of the season. He was cleared earlier this week to serve as a designated hitter in minor-league games on the back fields of spring training but has yet to get the green light to resume playing the outfield. Once he's facing no restrictions defensively, Gurriel could report to an affiliate to begin a rehab assignment.

Cactus League action unlikely
Gurriel (knee) is not expected to appear in a Cactus League game, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.
Analysis
There hasn't been a setback for Gurriel, who is well ahead of schedule in his rehab, but he appears to have run out of time in his quest to make the Opening Day roster. He'll continue to take at-bats on the back fields and hopes for a mid-April debut.
