Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Launches homer in win
Tawa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Dodgers.
Tawa launched a solo shot in the ninth inning to extend the Diamondbacks' lead to 5-3. The 27-year-old caught fire during the three-game series against the Dodgers, going 7-for-13 (.538) with two homers, seven RBI, three runs and a stolen base over the weekend at Chavez Ravine. Overall, he's slashing .214/.295/.381 with three homers, 15 RBI, nine runs and two stolen bases across 39 appearances.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Three more hits Saturday
Tawa went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Dodgers.
Tawa has posted back-to-back three-hit efforts against the Dodgers' pitching, racking up six RBI in that span. The utility man is getting a run of time at first base; he's a right-handed hitter, but he's started there against two righty starters as well Friday's bullpen game. Tawa is batting .213 with a .647 OPS, two home runs, 14 RBI, eight runs scored, five doubles and two stolen bases over 38 contests in the majors this season.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Homer, steal in three-hit game
Tawa went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, two additional RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 9-3 win over the Dodgers.
Tawa put the Diamondbacks ahead for good with his fourth-inning blast. Prior to Friday, he had gone 0-for-7 over three games during his current stint in the majors. He's hitting .187 with a .586 OPS, two homers, 12 RBI, seven runs scored, three doubles and two steals across 90 plate appearances with the Diamondbacks this season. Tawa started at first base for the second game in a row after Pavin Smith was designated for assignment Thursday. First base is a weakness in Arizona's lineup, so Tawa may be able to carve out a short-side platoon role alongside Ildemaro Vargas at the position.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Steals base in loss
Tawa started at third base and went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Milwaukee.
Tawa, who was called up Sunday and gave Nolan Arenado a breather at the hot corner, stole his first base in three attempts in the majors this season. He's also had a couple of steals (caught once) in the minors. Tawa is not a volume base stealer but has swiped between 10 and 14 bags in each of five previous seasons of professional ball. He gives the Diamondbacks more flexibility off the bench than the player he replaced, LuJames Groover, who was buried at first base behind Pavin Smith and Ildemaro Vargas.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Called up, starting Sunday
Arizona recalled Tawa from Triple-A Reno on Sunday.
With Nolan Arenado resting for Sunday's series finale versus Milwaukee, Tawa will enter the starting nine at third base and will bat seventh. Tawa isn't expected to be in line for steady at-bats while he's up with Arizona and will bring most of his value in his ability to play three infield and all three outfield spots. He's logged 76 plate appearances with Arizona this season, slashing .172/.270/.266 with one home run, eight RBI and six runs.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Going back to minors
The Diamondbacks will option Tawa to Triple-A Reno prior to Thursday's contest versus the Cardinals, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
His roster spot will be filled by Max Kepler, who is returning from an 80-game PED suspension. Tawa has had multiple stints with the Diamondbacks this season but has played sparingly, putting up a .536 OPS across 76 plate appearances.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Moves into starting lineup
Tawa started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a double in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Cardinals.
Tawa moved into the starting lineup for the first time since being recalled from Triple-A Reno over the weekend. He defended center field, which has become a hole following the injury to Jordan Lawlar (hamstring). Jorge Barrosa started there in the first two games without Lawlar on Saturday and Sunday.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Recalled from Reno
The Diamondbacks recalled Tawa from Triple-A Reno on Saturday.
Tawa was sent down to Triple-A at the beginning of June after posting a .519 OPS across 70 plate appearances, but he's slashed .351/.439/.772 with five homers, 16 RBI and 13 runs scored in 15 games at Reno. He'll now rejoin the Diamondbacks as the replacement for the injured Jordan Lawlar (hamstring), though Tawa will likely be limited to a bench role while Jorge Barrosa receives an uptick in playing time.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Bound for Triple-A
The Diamondbacks optioned Tawa to Triple-A Reno on Monday.
Tawa has been on the Arizona roster all season but hasn't played much, particularly in May with only four starts and 19 plate appearances. He's clearing out to make space on the roster for Pavin Smith (elbow), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Covers left field Saturday
Tawa started in left field and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 5-4 win over Colorado.
Tawa took over left field in Arizona's first game without Lourdes Gurriel (hamstring), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday. In the wake of the injury, Tawa and Jorge Barrosa were considered as the likely fill-ins, but the Diamondbacks promoted prospect Tommy Troy. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo suggested that Troy will get a long look while Gurriel is out, per Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Slugs grand slam Sunday
Tawa went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Sunday's 12-7 win over San Diego.
Tawa's first homer of the season was a big one, as his seventh-inning grand slam cut Arizona's deficit to one run before the offense kept humming to complete a come-from-behind victory. It was a much-needed moment for the 27-year-old, who has seen his playing time dwindle and his place on the roster come under scrutiny. In 48 plate appearances, Tawa is slashing .146/.234/.268 with three extra-base hits, six RBI and two runs.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Roster spot shaky
Tawa started in left field and went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and an RBI in Friday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jays.
Tawa's run-scoring double in the eighth inning snapped an 0-for-16 skid and produced just his second RBI in 13 games. A season-opening slump (4-for-35, .114) has cost him playing time and makes Tawa a logical candidate to be removed from the roster if Lourdes Gurriel (knee) is activated as expected this weekend. Jorge Barrosa can cover left field while Gurriel adjusts to game action as a DH in the majors.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Moving into bench role
Tawa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
Tawa will take a seat for the second time in three games after he closed out last week with five consecutive starts in left field. While the Diamondbacks could still clear room in the lineup for him when the team faces left-handed pitching, Tawa hasn't helped his case for sticking around in an everyday role, slashing .094/.189/.125 across 38 plate appearances this season.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Nabbing fifth straight start
Tawa will start in left field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Phillies.
The 27-year-old utility player will occupy left field for the fifth game in a row, but Arizona may not have room in its outfield for both Tawa and Jorge Barrosa once Corbin Carroll -- who is making a second straight start at designated hitter due to a minor hip issue -- is cleared to play defense. With a .393 OPS over 31 plate appearances on the season, Tawa hasn't done much to justify an everyday assignment in place of Jordan Lawlar (wrist), who will be on the shelf until at least early June.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Starts in left field
Tawa went 0-for-2 with a walk in Friday's 2-0 loss to Atlanta.
Tawa started in left field in Arizona's first game without Jordan Lawlar (wrist), who is expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks. Tawa is expected to share duties with Jorge Barrosa for now, but eventually left field will be the landing spot for Lourdes Gurriel (knee). Gurriel will initially serve as a DH but should be ready for the field at some point in May.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Covers left field Thursday
Tawa entered Thursday's game in the eighth inning to play left field after Jordan Lawlar (wrist) was removed from a 17-2 loss to Atlanta.
Lawlar was hit by a pitch in the bottom of the seventh inning but stayed in the game to run the bases. Tawa entered in the top of the eighth and was hitless in his lone plate appearance. X-rays on Lawlar's wrist came back negative, but he'll undergo a precautionary CT scan Friday. Lawlar's availability for Friday's game is unclear. Should he miss any time, Tawa or Jorge Barrosa will likely replace him in the outfield.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Gets outfield start
Tawa started in left field and went 1-for-3 with a double in Wednesday's 1-0 win over Detroit.
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo loaded up the lineup with righties against tough Detroit lefty Tarik Skubal. Alek Thomas was on the bench while Jordan Lawlar (center field) and Tawa were in the outfield. Tawa wears many gloves on the diamond and will toggle between infield and outfield for the Diamondbacks. Wednesday was his second start of the season and first in the outfield. He also served as the DH on Opening Day when Pavin Smith (elbow) was scratched.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Late add to starting lineup
Tawa started at designated hitter and went 1-for-3 in Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Dodgers.
Tawa was a late addition to the starting lineup when Pavin Smith (elbow) was scratched leading up to first pitch. Smith's injury doesn't sound serious, but it could result in more playing time for Tawa in the short term.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Likely on Opening Day roster
Tawa is expected to be part of the Opening Day roster, after the Diamondbacks reassigned Jacob Amaya to minor-league camp Sunday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
Tawa was one of four players competing for three bench spots, and Amaya's reassignment opens a spot for him, Jorge Barrosa and Ildemaro Vargas. Tawa is batting .318 (14-for-44) with eight walks, three doubles, two home runs, seven RBI and 10 runs scored through 16 Cactus League games. He's expected to be a utility player, capable of playing both infield and outfield.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Hot spring start
Tawa went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's spring game against the Dodgers.
Tawa has hit safely in all three Cactus League contests thus far, going 4-for-8 with two walks. He's slotted in at second base (twice) and designated hitter (once). Tawa is line for a roster spot as a utility infielder that also has outfield experience.
