Diamondbacks Set To Promote Jordan Lawlar
1 year agoThe 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.
