Jordan Lawlar Stats

The Arizona Diamondbacks included rookie shortstop Jordan Lawlar on their roster for the wild-card series this week against the Milwaukee Brewers. Arizona's top prospect, per MLB Pipeline, was called up from Triple-A Reno on Sept. 7 and went just 4-for-31 (.129) with no home runs or RBI, one stolen base, 11 strikeouts and two runs scored in his first 34 plate appearances over 14 games. The 21-year-old is plenty talented, though, so the Diamondbacks will include him as a potential spark off their bench on the road in Milwaukee this week. In 105 games on the farm before his call-up this year, Lawlar had 20 home runs and 36 stolen bases.

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Jordan Lawlar is not in the club's starting lineup Tuesday night against the New York Mets and right-hander Jose Butto. The 21-year-old has gotten into four games since being promoted to the big leagues but is just 1-for-13 with an RBI, a stolen base, and a hit-by-pitch across 14 trips to the plate. That said, it's hard to argue Arizona's decision to promote their top prospect as Lawlar raked to the tune of a .358 average with five homers, three SB, and a 1.050 OPS across 16 games at Triple-A. He also hit 15 HR alongside 33 SB and an .840 OPS across 89 games at Double-A this season. Geraldo Perdomo will take over at shortstop and hit ninth Tuesday in New York.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are planning to promote their top prospect, Jordan Lawlar, from Triple-A Reno before Thursday's series opener against the Chicago Cubs, according to a source. The Diamondbacks are pulling out all the stops as they try to secure a wild-card spot in the National League this year. Lawlar started his first career game at third base on Tuesday for Reno, a signal that the former sixth overall pick in 2021 would be coming up to Arizona. He started the year at Double-A Amarillo but has been red-hot for the last three months, hitting .325/.413/.565 with 15 homers and 25 stolen bases in his last 71 games. The 21-year-old has been even better at Reno, hitting .358 (24-for-67) with five homers, 19 RBI and three steals in 16 games. Lawlar should see regular starts between third base and shortstop with the Snakes and should be a priority addition for fantasy managers off the waiver wire.
