Diamondbacks Prospect Jordan Lawlar Placed on Triple-A Injured List with Hamstring Injury

Arizona Diamondbacks prospect Jordan Lawlar has been dealing with a hamstring injury that has sidelined him multiple times this season. After missing four games due to the injury, he returned to Triple-A Reno's lineup but was lifted early in his comeback game and subsequently placed on the 7-day injured list. Lawlar, a talented young shortstop, has shown strong performance in Triple-A with a .997 OPS, 10 home runs, and 18 stolen bases, although his major league batting has been less successful. The Diamondbacks called up Blaze Alexander to replace the injured Ildemaro Vargas, and Lawlar was considered a candidate to join the major league roster, especially with Eugenio Suarez's uncertain status due to a hand injury. Given the cautious approach by Arizona, it is unlikely Lawlar will return to the big leagues until the second half of the 2025 season as they manage his hamstring recovery carefully. His role at third base in Triple-A demonstrates the team's interest in his versatility and potential readiness to contribute if needed.
