Tim Tawa Debuts for Diamondbacks Amid Marte Injury

The Arizona Diamondbacks faced a setback as All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte was placed on a 10-day injured list due to a left hamstring strain sustained during a game against the Washington Nationals. To fill the gap, the team called up Tim Tawa from Triple-A Reno, making his MLB debut by starting at second base and batting ninth. Tawa had an impressive minor league start in 2025, boasting a .391/.462/.957 slash line with three home runs over six games. Despite the fatigue from his quick travel to join the team in Washington D.C., Tawa was excited and ready to play, with his family and girlfriend present to support him. The Diamondbacks, who are 5-3 this season, are looking to secure a second consecutive series win.
