Jordan Lawlar Set For Rehab Games Next Week
7 months agoArizona Diamondbacks farm director Shaun Larkin said shortstop prospect Jordan Lawlar (thumb) will play in rehab games next week and is on track to return from his thumb injury in two weeks. He underwent surgery in late March to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb. The 21-year-old is on the 60-day injured list and could be optioned to Triple-A Reno to get consistent at-bats instead of the big leagues once activated. He slashed .129/.206/.129 with two runs and a stolen base across 14 games for the Diamondbacks in 2023. Lawlar has a ton of upside after hitting 15 homers and 33 bases in Double-A last year, and fantasy managers with an open roster spot can continue to stash the top prospect in most leagues.
