Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Covers left field Thursday
Tawa entered Thursday's game in the eighth inning to play left field after Jordan Lawlar (wrist) was removed from a 17-2 loss to Atlanta.
Lawlar was hit by a pitch in the bottom of the seventh inning but stayed in the game to run the bases. Tawa entered in the top of the eighth and was hitless in his lone plate appearance. X-rays on Lawlar's wrist came back negative, but he'll undergo a precautionary CT scan Friday. Lawlar's availability for Friday's game is unclear. Should he miss any time, Tawa or Jorge Barrosa will likely replace him in the outfield.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Gets outfield start
Tawa started in left field and went 1-for-3 with a double in Wednesday's 1-0 win over Detroit.
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo loaded up the lineup with righties against tough Detroit lefty Tarik Skubal. Alek Thomas was on the bench while Jordan Lawlar (center field) and Tawa were in the outfield. Tawa wears many gloves on the diamond and will toggle between infield and outfield for the Diamondbacks. Wednesday was his second start of the season and first in the outfield. He also served as the DH on Opening Day when Pavin Smith (elbow) was scratched.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Late add to starting lineup
Tawa started at designated hitter and went 1-for-3 in Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Dodgers.
Tawa was a late addition to the starting lineup when Pavin Smith (elbow) was scratched leading up to first pitch. Smith's injury doesn't sound serious, but it could result in more playing time for Tawa in the short term.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Likely on Opening Day roster
Tawa is expected to be part of the Opening Day roster, after the Diamondbacks reassigned Jacob Amaya to minor-league camp Sunday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
Tawa was one of four players competing for three bench spots, and Amaya's reassignment opens a spot for him, Jorge Barrosa and Ildemaro Vargas. Tawa is batting .318 (14-for-44) with eight walks, three doubles, two home runs, seven RBI and 10 runs scored through 16 Cactus League games. He's expected to be a utility player, capable of playing both infield and outfield.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Hot spring start
Tawa went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's spring game against the Dodgers.
Tawa has hit safely in all three Cactus League contests thus far, going 4-for-8 with two walks. He's slotted in at second base (twice) and designated hitter (once). Tawa is line for a roster spot as a utility infielder that also has outfield experience.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Riding pine Saturday
Tawa isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.
The D-backs will keep Tawa on the bench Saturday after he went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's series opener. His absence will allow Ildemaro Vargas to start at first base and bat eighth.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Settling into everyday role at 1B
Tawa will start at first base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Twins.
Tawa will pick up his fifth consecutive start and his fourth in a row at first base, where he appears to have emerged as Arizona's preferred option in the wake of season-ending injuries to Pavin Smith (quadriceps) and Tyler Locklear (elbow). Since being called up from Triple-A Reno on Monday, Tawa has gone 5-for-13 with two doubles, two walks, five runs and one RBI.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Slots in at first base
Tawa started at first base and went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 5-3 win over San Francisco.
Tawa helped Arizona build an early lead with a run-producing single in the second inning and then scored the team's final run in the sixth. He's made two straight starts -- Tawa started in center field against a left-hander Tuesday. Wednesday's start at first was just his 11th in the pros, and he made a nice pick on a throw to keep Luis Matos off the bases. With MLB.com reporting that Tyler Locklear (elbow) is expected to miss the rest of the season, Tawa (against lefties) and Ildemaro Vargas (righties) will likely share first base going forward. Tawa also gives manager Torey Lovullo a right-handed bat to use against southpaws.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Returning to big leagues
The Diamondbacks recalled Tawa (rib) from Triple-A Reno on Monday.
Tawa was placed on Reno's 7-day injured list Aug. 2 due to a fractured rib, but he was activated Wednesday and will now join the big club to contribute as a utility man. He'll join Arizona's 28-man active roster as a replacement for first baseman Tyler Locklear (elbow), who was placed on the 10-day IL.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Shelved at Triple-A
Triple-A Reno placed Tawa on its 7-day injured list Aug. 2 due to an unspecified injury.
After being demoted to Reno on July 5, Tawa went just 3-for-31 (.097 average) with 11 strikeouts in nine games before landing on the IL. The utility player is without a timeline to return to action for Reno, and his poor production prior to getting hurt suggests he won't be a high-priority call-up for Arizona when the roster expands in September.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Optioned to Reno
The Diamondbacks optioned Tawa to Triple-A Reno on Saturday.
Tawa has struggled during his time in the majors, slashing .200/.262/.355 with six homers, 14 RBI, 21 runs scored and seven steals through 173 plate appearances. He'll be sent back to Triple-A in order to get back on track, clearing space on the roster for Corbin Carroll's (wrist) return from the injured list.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Starts at first base
Tawa started at first base and went 0-for-3 in a 7-2 loss to the Giants.
Tawa filled in for Josh Naylor, who was held out against San Francisco lefty Robbie Ray. Naylor, who recently experienced neck stiffness, had just returned to the starting lineup Wednesday as the designated hitter, and the decision to sit him Thursday does not appear to be injury related. Tawa has gone hitless over his last 24 at-bats while striking 10 times (41.7 percent strikeout rate).

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Fills in at third base Tuesday
Tawa came off the bench in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the White Sox and went 0-for-3 with a run scored. Ildemaro Vargas (foot) was removed. Tawa went 0-for-3 with a run scored in a 4-1 win over the White Sox.
Ildemaro Vargas drew the start at third base in place of Eugenio Suarez (hand), but Tawa was needed off the bench for the second straight game to replace an injured teammate. After filling in for Josh Naylor (shoulder) at first base in Monday's 10-0 win, Tawa entered Tuesday as a replacement for Ildemaro Vargas, who fractured his right foot. Vargas is likely to go on the injured list, while Suarez is expected to miss multiple days as he continues to deal with significant hand swelling, per Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com. In the interim, Tawa could be in line for a few starts at third base, but Arizona is also expected to recall infielder Blaze Alexander from Triple-A Reno to provide another option at the position.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Enters for injured teammate
Tawa entered Monday's game at first base in the fourth inning and went 0-for-2. He replaced Josh Naylor (shoulder), who injured his right shoulder following an awkward swing in the second inning.
As the Diamondbacks were facing a right-hander, Pavin Smith was already in the game as the designated hitter, so Arizona manager Torey Lovullo went with Tawa. The manager told Casey Drottar of MLB.com that Naylor plans to return to the field Tuesday.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: On base three times
Tawa started in center field and went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Friday's 14-8 win over the Rockies.
Tawa got the start in place of Alek Thomas against a lefty. His playing time has been sporadic since second baseman Ketel Marte returned from injury -- this was just Tawa's second start in two weeks. He was a below-.200 hitter when Marte was activated May 2, but Tawa has put together a .273 average since then in part-time duty.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Fills in at first base
Tawa went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Thursday's 11-10 win over Atlanta.
Tawa entered as a pinch hitter for first baseman Pavin Smith and remained in the game to play the same position. It was the second time this season Tawa has played first base. Arizona would normally use Josh Naylor to fill in at first base, but he had started the game as the DH and eventually left with a shoulder injury. If Naylor's injury forces him to miss time, Smith would be the likely starter at first base against righties with Tawa, Lourdes Gurriel and Ildemaro Vargas as potential platoon partners.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Doubles, scores in win
Tawa went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Atlanta.
Tawa doubled in the ninth inning and scored Arizona's second run on a Ketel Marte single. It was an important run the team needed, as closer Justin Martinez allowed a run in the bottom of the frame. Since Marte returned from the injured list in early May, forcing Tawa into a part-time role as a fill-in outfielder against left-handers, the rookie has handled the transition well. He's batting .271 (13-for-48) with four extra-base hits, four RBI, four steals and five runs over 19 games in the part-time role.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Steals base in win
Tawa started in center field and went 0-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 5-0 win over the Pirates.
Tawa filled his usual role, replacing Alek Thomas whenever the Diamondbacks face a left-hander. He knocked in Arizona's first run with a sacrifice fly in the second inning and then stole his sixth base of the season in the eighth inning. He's stolen four bases over 15 contests since second baseman Ketel Marte returned from an injury and adjusted Tawa's role to a degree. Tawa is batting .227/.297/.423 with five home runs, 13 RBI and 13 runs scored in 34 contests.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Logs fifth steal
Tawa went 1-for-2 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Dodgers.
Tawa didn't start Tuesday, instead coming off the bench to replace Alek Thomas in the eighth inning. As expected, playing time has gotten sparse for Tawa, who is now functioning as a short-side platoon option in center field. He's batting .247 five home runs, five steals, 12 RBI and 13 runs scored across 98 plate appearances this season.

Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Starts in center against lefty
Tawa started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 8-0 win over Colorado.
Tawa replaced Alek Thomas in center field against Rockies left-hander Carson Palmquist. He also replaced Thomas against San Francisco southpaw Robbie Ray earlier in the week. Tawa was dislodged from an infield utility role when the Diamondbacks called up Jordan Lawlar, but he'll fill the short side of a platoon in center. Tawa carries a .228 average (18-for-79), but he's slugged five home runs and three doubles (.228 ISO) through 27 games.
