Triple-A Reno placed Barrosa on the 7-day injured list Thursday due to a right hamstring strain, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports.
Barrosa hasn't been on the field since last Sunday, when he suffered the injury. His absence impacts the Diamondbacks, as Barrosa is the only minor-league outfielder on the club's 40-man roster. He played three games for Arizona earlier this season after Alek Thomas (hamstring) suffered his injury and before Randal Grichuk was activated. Barrosa is swinging a hot bat for Aces, posting an average of .308 with a .900 OPS.

Diamondbacks' Jorge Barrosa: Optioned to Reno
Rotowire
Barrosa was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.
Barrosa was promoted to the majors Monday and made two starts across the next three games. He went 2-for-10 with a double, an RBI and a run scored while striking out just once. The transaction suggests Randal Grichuk (ankle) will return Friday, but Barrosa could be back in the majors in relatively short order.

Diamondbacks' Jorge Barrosa: In lineup again
Rotowire
Barrosa started in center field and went 1-for-5 with an RBI in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Yankees.
Barrosa received a second straight start in center field, both against lefty hurlers, which suggests the switch-hitter may platoon with lefty Jake McCarthy to cover for Alek Thomas (hamstring) while he's unavailable. After Thursday's day off, the Diamondbacks play a weekend series in Atlanta, which kicks off Friday against right-hander Spencer Strider.

Diamondbacks' Jorge Barrosa: Lashes double in first MLB AB
Rotowire
Barrosa entered Monday's game as a pinch hitter and went 1-for-1 with a double in a 5-2 loss to the Yankees.
Barrosa, who made his MLB debut with the plate appearance, was called up earlier in the day after Arizona placed Alek Thomas (hamstring) on the injured list. He replaced the lefty-hitting Jake McCarthy against left-hander Victor Gonzalez in the bottom of the ninth inning. While McCarthy figures to benefit the most from Thomas' injury, the 23-year-old switch-hitting Barrosa gives manager Torey Lovullo another lever to pull.

Diamondbacks' Jorge Barrosa: Summoned to big leagues
Rotowire
Barrosa was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Monday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
It's the first big-league promotion for Barrosa, who slashed .274/.394/.456 with 13 home runs and 15 stolen bases at Reno last season. The switch-hitting 23-year-old is capable of playing all three outfield spots and will likely serve mostly as a fourth outfielder, although he could be a candidate for starts against lefties.

Rotowire
Barrosa (hamstring) has started in five games since being activated from Triple-A Reno's 7-day injured list April 11, going 6-for-19 with a home run, a double, three walks, seven RBI and three runs.
Barrosa required only a brief stint on Reno's IL to begin the season while he worked his way back from the strained right hamstring he suffered in a Feb. 26 Cactus League game. Now that he's healthy again, the 22-year-old switch-hitting outfielder appears set to fill an everyday role for the Diamondbacks' top affiliate.

Rotowire
Barrosa was removed from Saturday's game due to hamstring tightness, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

He reached Double-A Amarillo in 2022 and is not expected to be part of the MLB roster in 2023. Barrosa's best assets are defense and speed. He stole 26 bases (but was caught 12 times) over two minor-league stops in 2022.

Barrosa spent most of the 2022 campaign at Double-A Amarillo and finished with a .276/.374/.438 slash line with 12 home runs and 21 steals in 110 games. If he doesn't open 2023 at Triple-A Reno, he should be able to quickly earn a promotion.
