Jordan Lawlar Hits Home Run on Tuesday
Jordan Lawlar went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks against Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday. Lawlar has had no trouble with Triple-A pitching this season, with a 1.003 OPS in 238 plate appearances. The 22-year-old was given an opportunity at the major league level in the middle of May and played all over the infield. However, he looked overmatched in the small sample as he struck out over 40 percent of the time. It is still tough to find a full runway of consistent playing time for Lawlar without a trade or an injury. His return to the majors could be closer to the All-Star break, and he should be put on watch lists due to his power and speed upside.
