PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona left fielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. left the Diamondbacks’ game Friday night against the Colorado Rockies because of left hamstring tightness after making a sliding catch.

Gurriel made the impressive play for the first out of the sixth inning, sprinting hard toward left center before sliding feet first while making the grab. He grimaced after the catch before slowly standing up.

After a short conversation with manager Torey Lovullo and medical staff, the 32-year-old Cuban walked slowly off the field. He was replaced by Jorge Barrosa, who played center while Ryan Waldschmidt moved to left.

Gurriel returned to the lineup April 18 after missing roughly eight months with a torn ACL in his right knee. He is batting .228 with a homer and 11 RBIs, including two RBIs on Friday night before leaving the game.
