Jordan Lawlar

Lawlar was 6-for-18 with a double, a home run, and a stolen base across 20 plate appearances before fracturing his right wrist last week. He was given a 6-to-8 week recovery timeline, and the Diamondbacks transferred him to the 60-day IL Tuesday.

The move makes Lawlar ineligible to return until at least early June.

Jordan Lawlar will be out for the next six to eight weeks due to a fractured right wrist.

What a tough blow for Lawlar, as the rookie was finally receiving his first extended opportunity at the show and smacked his first career home run Thursday night. A pitch later struck Lawlar on his right wrist, and a follow-up CT scan on Friday revealed the fracture. Adrian Del Castillo has been called up by the Diamondbacks to take Lawlar's place on the roster.

Jordan Lawler went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Arizona's 17-2 loss to Atlanta on Thursday.

Lawler took Braves' starter, Reynaldo Lopez, deep in the bottom of the third for his first career home run. The top prospect has struggled in limited time in the big leagues over his first two seasons, hitting just .129 in 2023 and .182 in 2025. However, Lawlar, who has moved to the outfield this season, is off to a 6-for-18 start in 2026 with a double, a home run, two runs batted in, and a stolen base. Maybe, just maybe, things are going to come together for the 23-year-old.

Lourdes Gurriel (knee) is expected to miss at least until mid-April, and Alek Thomas became available after Team Mexico was eliminated from the World Baseball Classic by Team Italy — a combination that opens the door for Lawlar in both center and left field when the regular season begins. Manager Torey Lovullo said Thursday that Lawlar will receive looks at corner outfield positions before spring training concludes.

Lawlar has been playing center field during Cactus League action and is slashing .323/.432/.742 with four home runs and six walks over 10 spring games.

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said on Wednesday that Jordan Lawlar is likely to start the season in centerfield if he proves he can handle it during spring training.

Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen said last week that Jordan Lawlar would see the majority of his spring work in the outfield, and manager Torey Lovullo said on Wednesday that it will likely be in centerfield. With Blaze Alexander gone and Corbin Carroll (hand) undergoing surgery on Wednesday, putting him at risk of missing the start of the season, Lawlar is in line for an everyday role if he has a solid spring.
