Rotowire

Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Cleared to start Wednesday
Rotowire
Lawlar (head) will start in center field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
Lawlar made an early exit from Tuesday's 5-4 win after being struck in the head by a pitch, but his removal from the game was merely a precaution while he was put through concussion tests. Manager Torey Lovullo indicated after the game that Lawlar passed the concussion protocol, and with no symptoms surfacing overnight, the 24-year-old will be ready to play in the series finale. Since being reinstated Aug. 17 after an extended stay on the injured list due to a left hamstring strain, Lawlar has gone 4-for-21 (.190 average) with one home run, three RBI and three runs in seven games.

Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Sitting again versus righty
Rotowire
Lawlar is absent from the lineup for Monday's game versus the Cubs.
Lawlar has started all five games versus left-handers since he returned from the injured list one week ago, but he has been out of the lineup both times the Diamondbacks have gone up against a righty. It's unlikely Lawlar will remain stuck in a short-side platoon indefinitely, but for the time being his playing time could remain unreliable.

Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Raking on rehab assignment
Rotowire
Lawlar (hamstring) went 1-for-4 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in a rehab game with Double-A Amarillo on Saturday.
Lawlar has been tearing it up during his rehab assignment, producing a .250/.270/.667 slash line with five home runs and two stolen bases through nine contests at Double-A. The 24-year-old has checked several boxes in the recovery process -- including making starts in center field on consecutive days and playing full nine-inning games -- and appears to be ready to return from the 10-day injured list. However, the Diamondbacks plan to have the 24-year-old stay on assignment for another few games, according to MLB.com.

Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Kicking off rehab assignment
Rotowire
Lawlar (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Amarillo on Tuesday, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.
Lawlar will play back-to-back rehab games Tuesday and Wednesday before the Diamondbacks determine the next steps for the outfielder. Considering Lawlar has been sidelined since late June with a strained right hamstring, he is likely to require a handful of rehab contests before being reinstated.

Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Yet to run at full speed
Rotowire
Manager Torey Lovullo said Saturday that Lawlar (hamstring) has been cleared for all baseball activities other than full-speed running, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Lawlar has been stuck on the injured list since June 20 due to a strained right hamstring. According to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, Lovullo said that an MRI of Lawlar's hamstring hasn't shown full healing, but the 24-year-old has made enough progress in his recovery to do some light jogging along with all other baseball activities. Lawlar's ability to resume running at full speed will be a key factor in determining when he can potentially begin a rehab assignment with one of Arizona's minor-league affiliates. He's currently expected to return sometime in late July or early August, though that could be pushed back if he's unable to ramp up his running progression.

Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Hitting, running ahead of MRI
Rotowire
Lawlar (hamstring) has begun hitting in the cage and executing running mechanics, MLB.com reports.
There's been little information about Lawlar's recovery since he landed on the injured list June 20. The return to baseball activities is encouraging, and the 23-year-old is expected to undergo a follow-up MRI on Friday. Injuries keep piling up for Lawlar, who's been impacted by poor health the last three seasons and played just 12 games in 2026. The report indicates a possible return in late July or early August.

Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Facing 4-to-6-week absence
Rotowire
Manager Torey Lovullo said June 20 that Lawlar will receive further imaging on his strained right hamstring during the All-Star break to gauge his healing, Steve Gilbert MLB.com reports.
Lawlar appears to be facing a 4-to-6-week recovery timeline after he was removed from a June 19 win over the Twins when he strained the hamstring while trying to beat out a bunt single. The 23-year-old had already been shelved for just over two months earlier this season due to a fractured wrist, so the hamstring injury represents yet another major setback on the health front. Lawlar had settled in as the Diamondbacks' everyday center field prior to getting hurt, but Tommy Troy has since stepped in as the main replacement at the position.

Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Drawing fourth straight start
Rotowire
Lawlar will start in center field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Angels.
Lawlar has cracked the starting nine for a fourth game in a row, with the Diamondbacks having faced three lefties and one righty during that stretch. Since coming off the 60-day injured list Friday, Lawlar has gone just 2-for-12 at the plate, but he's reached base on four other occasions (two walks, two hit-by-pitches) and has gone 3-for-3 on steal attempts. With the Diamondbacks demoting Ryan Waldschmidt to Triple-A Reno earlier this week, Lawlar could have a clear path to playing regularly in center field.

Rotowire
The Diamondbacks reinstated Lawlar (wrist) from the 60-day injured list, and he is starting in center field and batting seventh Friday against the Reds.

Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Takes batting practice
Rotowire
Lawlar (wrist) took on-field batting practice last week, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Lawlar felt good following the batting-practice session, though the skipper doesn't believe the infielder is ready for game action. Lawlar is eligible to return from the 60-day injured list June 2, but he'll likely need additional time beyond that to recover from his fractured right wrist before being activated.
