Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Rehab could move to Triple-A
Rotowire
Lawlar (hamstring) could shift his rehab assignment to Triple-A Reno during the upcoming week, MLB.com reports.
Lawlar has thus far made three rehab appearances at Double-A Amarillo, going a collective 1-for-10 with one stolen base and a 0:5 BB:K. He's yet to play a full nine-inning game, though he played six innings in center field Tuesday and seven innings in center Friday. Lawlar may need to play full games on back-to-back days during his rehab assignment before making his return from the 10-day injured list. He's been on the shelf since June 20 due to a right hamstring strain.

Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Swipes bag in rehab game
Rotowire
Lawlar (hamstring) went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in a rehab game Wednesday with Double-A Amarillo.
Lawlar, who played six innings in center field Tuesday in the first game of his rehab assignment, was given a break from defense but remained in the Amarillo lineup Wednesday at designated hitter. He showed that his strained right hamstring wasn't an issue in the sixth inning, when he stole second base and scored the game-tying run on single. The Diamondbacks will likely re-evaluate Lawlar on Thursday before determining his next steps, but if he isn't activated from the injured list, he'll likely continue his rehab assignment this weekend with Amarillo or another affiliate.

Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Yet to run at full speed
Rotowire
Manager Torey Lovullo said Saturday that Lawlar (hamstring) has been cleared for all baseball activities other than full-speed running, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Lawlar has been stuck on the injured list since June 20 due to a strained right hamstring. According to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, Lovullo said that an MRI of Lawlar's hamstring hasn't shown full healing, but the 24-year-old has made enough progress in his recovery to do some light jogging along with all other baseball activities. Lawlar's ability to resume running at full speed will be a key factor in determining when he can potentially begin a rehab assignment with one of Arizona's minor-league affiliates. He's currently expected to return sometime in late July or early August, though that could be pushed back if he's unable to ramp up his running progression.

Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Hitting, running ahead of MRI
Rotowire
Lawlar (hamstring) has begun hitting in the cage and executing running mechanics, MLB.com reports.
There's been little information about Lawlar's recovery since he landed on the injured list June 20. The return to baseball activities is encouraging, and the 23-year-old is expected to undergo a follow-up MRI on Friday.

Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Facing 4-to-6-week absence
Rotowire
Manager Torey Lovullo said June 20 that Lawlar will receive further imaging on his strained right hamstring during the All-Star break to gauge his healing, Steve Gilbert MLB.com reports.
Lawlar appears to be facing a 4-to-6-week recovery timeline after he was removed from a June 19 win over the Twins when he strained the hamstring while trying to beat out a bunt single. The 23-year-old had already been shelved for just over two months earlier this season due to a fractured wrist, so the hamstring injury represents yet another major setback on the health front. Lawlar had settled in as the Diamondbacks' everyday center field prior to getting hurt, but Tommy Troy has since stepped in as the main replacement at the position.

Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks placed Lawlar on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right hamstring strain.
Lawlar had to come out of Friday's game after legging out an infield single, and he was later diagnosed with a hamstring strain. He'll now spend at least the next 10 days on the shelf, leaving Jorge Barrosa as the favorite to take over as Arizona's primary center fielder. Tim Tawa was recalled from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move.

Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Slated for MRI on hamstring
Rotowire
Lawlar will undergo an MRI on Saturday after suffering a right hamstring strain in Friday's win over the Twins, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
Lawlar just returned from a wrist injury last week and is now facing the possibility of another IL stint depending on the severity of the strain. When asked whether he's optimistic about what the MRI will show, Lawlar said, "I'll wait for the imaging and then let you know." Jorge Barrosa has struggled at the plate with a .549 OPS this season, but he has been a plus player defensively for Arizona and would likely step in as the top center fielder should Lawlar have to miss more than a few days.

Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Removed with injury
Rotowire
Lawlar was removed from Friday's game against the Twins with an apparent injury, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Lawlar legged out an infield single on a bunt in the eighth inning, but he tweaked something while doing so and was immediately lifted for a pinch runner. It's not immediately clear what the 23-year-old is dealing with, but the team may have an update on his status after the game. If he ends up needing to miss time, Jorge Barrosa would be the next man up to start in center field.

Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Drawing fourth straight start
Rotowire
Lawlar will start in center field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Angels.
Lawlar has cracked the starting nine for a fourth game in a row, with the Diamondbacks having faced three lefties and one righty during that stretch. Since coming off the 60-day injured list Friday, Lawlar has gone just 2-for-12 at the plate, but he's reached base on four other occasions (two walks, two hit-by-pitches) and has gone 3-for-3 on steal attempts. With the Diamondbacks demoting Ryan Waldschmidt to Triple-A Reno earlier this week, Lawlar could have a clear path to playing regularly in center field.

Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Contributes in return
Rotowire
Lawlar started in center field and went 2-for-4 with two RBI, two steals and a run scored in Friday's 5-2 win over the Reds. He was also hit by a pitch.
Fresh off the injured list, Lawlar used his glove, feet and bat to snap Arizona's three-game losing streak: he crashed into the wall, robbing Matt McLain of extra bases in the fourth inning, stole a base and scored the game-tying run in the sixth, and then delivered two insurance runs with a single in the ninth. Since Lawlar landed on the injured list in early April, the Diamondbacks added a pair of prospects to the outfield mix -- Ryan Waldschmidt and Tommy Troy -- and will soon get Lourdes Gurriel (hamstring) back from injury. Playing time will be an issue. "I know [there's curiosity] about what the playing time is going to look like," manager Torey Lovullo told Mike Petraglia of MLB.com following the game. "It's going to be very fluid. There's going to be three guys, four guys for two positions, going to be a little bit of a rotation. They're all going to play."

Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Activated, batting seventh Friday
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks reinstated Lawlar (wrist) from the 60-day injured list, and he is starting in center field and batting seventh Friday against the Reds.
The 23-year-old landed on the injured list in early April due to a fractured wrist, but he's back with Arizona after posting a .736 OPS over an eight-game rehab assignment. Lawlar had a hot start to the year prior to the injury, going 6-for-20 with a homer, a double and a stolen base, and will look to pick up where he left off two months later.
The Diamondbacks will reinstate Lawlar (wrist) from the 60-day injured list ahead of Friday's game against the Reds, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
Lawlar has been on the shelf since early April due to a fractured right wrist. He was cleared to begin a rehab assignment May 30 and has since gone 6-for-28 with four walks, two RBI and five runs scored over eight games. Once activated, he'll be a candidate to start in the outfield until Lourdes Gurriel (hamstring) returns from the IL.
Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Rehab moves to Triple-A
Rotowire
Lawlar (wrist) moved his rehab to Triple-A Reno on Thursday and played consecutive games for the Aces. He went a combined 3-for-7 with two doubles, a triple and an RBI.
Lawlar played a full nine innings in center field Thursday and eight innings in left field a day later. He's had a combined 21 plate appearances between the ACL and Triple-A, but the Diamondbacks haven't made public a prescribed number of plate appearances for Lawlar, who has been out since early April. That he played the field on consecutive days is a positive sign that Lawlar could return within a week.
