The Diamondbacks placed Gurriel on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a strained right adductor.
Gurriel's injury helps to explain why he was left out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals. He'll now be ineligible to play for the D-backs until at least July 28, and the team will fill his roster spot by recalling Adrian Del Castillo from Triple-A Reno.
