Diamondbacks DFA Luis Guillorme to make room for Lourdes Gurriel Jr.’s return

On Friday, the Arizona Diamondbacks designated veteran infielder Luis Guillorme for assignment, clearing space on the roster for Lourdes Gurriel Jr.’s return from the 10-day injured list.

Guillorme, a former 10th-round pick by the New York Mets in 2013, joined the Diamondbacks in late August, marking his third team of the season. The 29-year-old began the year with the Braves, moved to the Angels, where he appeared in 50 games, before landing in Arizona.

Though Guillorme wasn’t a regular starter, he provided valuable infield depth, particularly during Ketel Marte’s absence. However, since Marte’s return a few weeks ago, Guillorme has seen limited action, appearing in just three games. Overall, he played 18 games for the Diamondbacks, batting .162 (6-for-37) and primarily filling in at second base.

Guillorme’s short stint in Arizona will likely be remembered for his highlight-reel diving play against the Red Sox, where he robbed a base hit in just his third game with the team.
