Jordan Lawlar Starting in Left Field for Arizona on Opening Day

Arizona Diamondbacks infield/outfield prospect Jordan Lawlar is officially an Opening Day starter in 2026, batting ninth and playing left field for his team's first game of the season against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Lawlar has long been considered one of the Diamondbacks' top prospects, but he's struggled with injuries and hit just .182/.257/.288 with a 35.8% strikeout rate across 74 plate appearances after making his MLB debut in 2025. Lawlar also had some defensive issues while spending time at every infield position other than first base, leading the Diamondbacks to shift him to the outfield this spring. Still, Lawlar will not turn 24 years old until July and posted a .967 OPS across 300 Triple-A plate appearances in 2025. With Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (knee) currently working his way back from a torn ACL, Lawlar could have an extended run of everyday playing time to open 2026.

Jordan Lawlar Turning a Corner This Spring?

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Jordan Lawlar has put together a very impressive spring training at the plate, sparking optimism about his outlook for the 2026 regular season. Lawlar produced a measly .182/.257/.288 slash line with zero home runs and a 35.1% strikeout rate in the majors last year. This spring, however, he seems to have turned a corner with a .323/.432/.742 slash line, four home runs, 199 wRC+, a 16.2% walk rate, and a 27.0% strikeout rate. We don't want to put too much stock into spring training stats due to sample size and matchup factors, but it's encouraging nonetheless, especially for a player who attracted so much hype as a prep first-round pick back in 2021. Fantasy managers should also be intrigued by the fact that Lawlar has spent plenty of time in center field this spring, and he's looked good there. If the Diamondbacks are willing to introduce a position change just to get him in the lineup, that's an encouraging sign that the team is very excited about his bat in 2026.

Could Jordan Lawlar Finally Be Ready for a Breakout?

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jordan Lawlar started off Cactus League action with a bang, belting two home runs in his first two games and going 4-for-6 with a walk during that time. Since then, he's gone 0-for-6 over the next three games, but the former first-rounder has also drawn five walks over that stretch, so he's continued to get on base. Set to be the team's everyday center fielder, it should be exciting to see how the organization's former top prospect can perform in 2026 with regular playing time. The right-handed slugger got only sporadic starts during his two stints in the majors last season, but was phenomenal during his time at Triple-A, producing a .313/.403/.564 slash line with 11 home runs and 20 steals in 63 games. The drawback is that he was limited by injury yet again, missing nearly two months with a hamstring strain after playing just 14 games in 2024 between Double and Triple-A due to multiple injuries that included an injury to a hamstring and a reaggravation of it. Once he becomes OF eligible on Yahoo!, it will make him that much more versatile and appealing for fantasy. There is 15/15 likelihood here with 20/20 upside, and he'll cost next to nothing in drafts, if he even gets drafted at all. Remember, this is a player that Arizona thought enough of to allow him to debut in the majors at 20 years old back in 2023.

Jordan Lawlar Looking Comfortable in Move to Center Field

According to Nick Piecoro of AZCentral.com, Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Jordan Lawlar has looked quite comfortable in his move to center field. Peicoro noted that the early impressions are quite positive and that the former top prospect is getting "quick jumps" and is "showcasing his strong arm" in his position. With the Diamondbacks having a crowded infield due to the emergence of Geraldo Perdomo and the trade for Nolan Arenado, Lawlar's best chance of seeing everyday at-bats is now in the outfield. Last summer, Lawlar appeared in just 28 games with the Diamondbacks and posted a .182/.257/.288 line. However, across 91 career games at Triple-A, Lawlar has looked quite productive, posting a .328/.414/.576 line with 18 home runs and 24 stolen bases. Managers in deeper leagues should continue to monitor his progression in camp, as he could become the team's center fielder over Alek Thomas.

Jordan Lawlar Could Earn Everyday Playing Time Early in 2026

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder/outfielder Jordan Lawlar struggled in his first taste of big-league action in 2025, hitting .182/.257/.288 with zero home runs, five RBI, nine runs scored, and two stolen bases across 74 plate appearances. The 23-year-old also posted below-average defensive metrics while bouncing around between third base, second base, and shortstop. Over the offseason, Arizona announced that the majority of Lawlar's 2026 Spring Training reps would come in the outfield. The position change may end up leading Lawlar to an early-season starting role in the big leagues, as star Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (hand) underwent surgery on a broken hamate bone on Wednesday and may miss the start of the season as a result. Arizona outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (knee) will definitely be sidelined for Opening Day, so the team has a significant need for help in the outfield. Lawlar mashed Triple-A pitching to a .313/.403/.564 line with 11 home runs, 52 RBI, 50 runs scored, and 20 stolen bases across 300 plate appearances in 2025. With a current average draft position of pick 336, Lawlar could be worth a late-round dart throw in fantasy drafts heading into 2026.

Jordan Lawlar to Mostly Work in the Outfield

Arizona Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen confirmed on Thursday that the majority of work for Jordan Lawlar will come in the outfield this spring, but the team isn't closing off infield work for him, according to Jody Jackson of The Arizona Republic. The D-backs previously stated that the 23-year-old former top prospect would see work in center field in spring training, but that was before they traded utility man Blaze Alexander to the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday. Alexander's departure seemingly opens up playing time at third base going into the 2026 season, but Arizona has their sights set on Lawlar trying his hand in the outfield. There is also a need in the outfield, though, with Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (knee) injured and Jake McCarthy no longer in town. Lawlar has only played in 42 big-league games for Arizona and hasn't lived up to his prospect hype, slashing .165/.241/.237 with no homers, five RBI, and 37 K's in 108 plate appearances. His bat showed promise in September, though, giving hope to fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues that he can be a post-hype breakout type in 2026.

Jordan Lawlar Could See Center Field Opportunities in Spring Training

According to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Jordan Lawlar could see opportunities in center field during spring training. While the former top prospect has only seen opportunities at shortstop and third base during his first two stints in the big league, it appears the Diamondbacks are exploring an alternative way to get him on the field. Lawlar has seen his MLB opportunities limited due to the crowded nature of the Arizona infield and, most recently, Geraldo Perdomo's breakout campaign in 2025. Last summer, Lawlar appeared in just 28 games for the Diamondbacks, posting a .182/.257/.288 line. He made his MLB debut in 2024 and held a .129/.206/.129 line across 14 contests. However, at Triple-A, Lawlar has been quite productive, posting an elite .328/.414/.576 line through 91 games. He is a name to keep a close eye on as he could carry five-category upside if he were to see an everyday role in Arizona.

Jordan Lawlar to Play Winter Ball

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Jordan Lawlar is expected to switch positions this upcoming season. He came up as a shortstop, but that position is currently held by Geraldo Perdomo. The D-Backs attempted to put Lawlar at third base this past season, but he struggled defensively. The 23-year-old is at the point in his development where he should be contributing everyday at the MLB level. He has struggled during his brief time in the MLB, but hasn't been given a long look yet. Lawlar is set to play both third base and center field during winter ball this month. It'll be interesting to see which position he ends up settling in ahead of the 2026 season.

Diamondbacks Set to Promote Jordan Lawlar

According to Jake Garcia of 12 Sports Arizona, the Arizona Diamondbacks are set to promote their top prospect, infielder Jordan Lawlar. Lawlar was drafted with the sixth overall pick in the 2021 MLB Draft and is currently ranked as the No. 11 prospect in the sport on MLB.com. Lawlar has been given two brief tastes of the majors (in 2023 and 2025) but has struggled during his first looks. Through 22 games in Arizona, Lawlar has posted a low .080/.179/.080 line with just four hits (all singles) and a 20:5 K:BB. However, the infielder has been one of the most impressive hitters at the Triple-A level this season. In 63 games with the Reno Aces, Lawlar has posted an elite .313/.403/.564 line with 11 home runs, 20 stolen bases. With the Diamondbacks out of the playoff picture, Lawlar will likely be given a longer leash in the starting nine. Given his ability to hit for power and showcase immense speed upside, he is worth a look in all standard formats.

Jordan Lawlar Swinging a Hot Bat at Triple-A

Arizona Diamondbacks infield prospect Jordan Lawlar has continued to produce since returning from the injured list and is making a strong case to join the MLB roster for the stretch run. Over his last 10 games since returning to Reno, the former first-round pick has posted a .279/.367/.465 slash line with three doubles, one triple, one home run, and two stolen bases. During this stretch, he has only gone hitless in two games. Through 63 total games with the Reno Aces this season, the top-ranked prospect in the desert has posted a strong .313/.403/.564 line with 22 doubles, 11 home runs, and 20 stolen bases. Despite this elite production, Lawlar has yet to turn the corner in the major leagues, holding a career .259 OPS. With the Diamondbacks out of the playoff picture, fantasy managers should expect Lawlar to be given another look in the big leagues in the near future. He is a top hitting prospect to stash in all 12-team formats.
