PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Diamondbacks left fielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. was carted off the fieldduring Monday's night 7-5 lossagainst the Texas Rangers after hurting his right knee. Gurriel was hurt in the sixth inning after he jumped awkwardly out of the way to avoid center fielder Blaze Alexander, who made a diving catch on a line drive by Rowdy Tellez for the third out of the inning. "There's no diagnosis right now — he's set up for imaging tomorrow," D-backs manager Torey Lovullo said. "Say some prayers for him tonight. It's a situation where we're going to hope for the best, but I don't think it looks great." Alexander was playing his first game in center field as a big leaguer. Gurriel stayed on the ground for several minutes while medical staff attended to him. The 31-year-old eventually got up and walked to the cart before being driven off the field. Gurriel came into the game batting .249 this season with 19 homers and 80 RBIs. The Diamondbacks have endured several serious injuries during a disappointing season. Ace right-hander Corbin Burnes and key relievers Justin Martinez and A.J. Puk are all out for the year after having elbow surgery. ___ AP MLB:https://apnews.com/hub/mlb
