Tue May 13 | 18:13 | Jordan Lawlar Making Season Debut On Tuesday |
Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Jordan Lawlar will make his season debut against the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday. Lawlar was called up on Monday after hitting .336/.413/.579 with six home runs and 13 steals with Triple-A Reno. The 22-year-old is a top prospect that is viewed as a five-category fantasy contributor. His role in Arizona is unclear, but he figures to get significant playing time off the bench at multiple positions. Lawlar struggled during his 14-game stretch with the D-Backs in 2023, but has a ton of potential. He'll cover shortstop and bat eighth versus left-hander Robbie Ray on Tuesday. Lawlar is someone that needs to be rostered in all fantasy formats. |

Mon May 12 | 21:18 | Jordan Lawlar Officially Called Up |
Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Jordan Lawlar has been officially called up from Triple-A Reno on Monday. Lawlar won't be in Monday's lineup, but figures to get significant playing time on the D-Backs roster. The 22-year-old struggled during a 14-game sample size spot with the D-Backs in 2023. Lawlar spent all of the 2024 season in the minors, but missed significant time due to injury. Now, Lawlar has earned his way back on the D-Backs roster after slashing .336/.413/.579 with six homers and 13 steals in the minors. Sadly, there isn't an obvious everyday spot for Lawlar right now. Despite that, Lawlar should still see a fair amount of playing time while rotating positions in the infield. Lawlar is one of the top prospects in all of baseball and needs to be rostered in all fantasy formats. |

Mon May 12 | 03:05 | Jordan Lawlar Set For Promotion To Majors |
The Arizona Diamondbacks are calling up top prospect infielder Jordan Lawlar, according to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. Lawlar, MLB Pipeline's No. 4 overall prospect, hit .336/.413/.579 with six homers and 13 steals in Triple-A this season. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said on Sunday that the team can find ways for Lawlar to get into the lineup, even with a seemingly stacked infield. The 22-year-old should get into around four games a week, which isn't ideal for fantasy but should be enough to not stunt his growth. Even with the diminished playing time, Lawlar is a must-add in all fantasy formats. He might not be startable right away, but if he hits well he will end up playing more often and could become a fantasy standout. |

Mon May 5 | 08:49 | Jordan Lawlar Hits Slump At Triple-A |
Arizona Diamondbacks infield prospect Jordan Lawlar has hit a bit of a slump at Triple-A. After riding an incredible 12-game hitting streak, the top prospect in the desert has gone 0-for-9 over his last two contests. During this slump, Lawlar has struck out once and has not drawn a walk. However, during his 12-game hitting streak, Lawlar was one of the most productive hitters in professional baseball as he held a .510/.576/.922 slash line with eight doubles, three home runs, and eight stolen bases. Through his first 31 games of the Triple-A regular season, the former sixth overall pick has held an impressive .357/.441/.643 slash line with 14 doubles and six home runs. Fantasy managers should continue to view Lawlar as a high-end priority stash option, as he should be in the mix to return to the major leagues in the coming weeks. When he does get the call, he will carry five-category upside. |

Thu May 1 | 07:14 | Jordan Lawlar Extends Hitting Streak To 11 Games |
Arizona Diamondbacks infield prospect Jordan Lawlar continued his incredible start to the Triple-A regular season with another multi-hit effort on Wednesday. In this outing against Triple-A Sacramento, Lawlar went 4-for-6 with one double and two RBI. This impressive showing extended his hitting streak to 11 games. During this stretch, the top prospect in the desert has held an incredible .511/.582/.936 slash line with seven doubles, two triples, three home runs, and eight stolen bases. During his first 17 games of the campaign, Lawlar was productive as well, as he held a .288/.390/.515 line. The former sixth overall pick made his MLB debut in 2023 but could not return to the majors in 2024, given numerous injuries. However, the infielder is performing at an elite level with the Reno Aces and could return to the big leagues in the coming weeks. He should be viewed as a top stash option in all standard formats. |

Tue Apr 29 | 23:09 | Jordan Lawlar Hits Sixth Home Run In Another Multi-Hit Effort |
ArizonaDiamondbacks infield prospect Jordan Lawlar was in action for Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, which meant another multi-hit performance was in order. The 22-year-old did not disappoint, going 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, and his sixth home run of the season. The Diamondbacks' top prospect also collected two RBI and scored three times. The right-handed hitter has now tallied at least one hit in 13 straight games in which he started, with 10 of the 13 being multi-hit efforts, now slashing .364/.460/.682. Lawlar manned third base on Tuesday, the fifth time he's done so this season, with 14 starts coming at second base, six at shortstop, and one at DH. The positional versatility will help get him to the majors and should also help get him at-bats once he's there, an opportunity just needs to present itself, whichcould be any day now. Stash him while you still can. |

Mon Apr 28 | 22:58 | Jordan Lawlar Surging At Triple-A |
Arizona Diamondbacks infield prospect Jordan Lawlar went 2-for-5 on Sunday for Triple-A Reno, collecting a hit in 12 straightgames in which he's started (he was 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter during that stretch). In those12 games alone, the 22-year-old is 24-for-51 (.471) with seven doubles, two triples, four home runs, 17 RBI, 17 runs scored, eight stolen bases, and a 10:10 BB:K. Now slashing a robust .356/.451/.644 on the year, the team has played him at second base the most, along with starts at third base, shortstop, and once at designated hitter. The versatility will serve him well with Ketel Marte, Geraldo Perdomo, and Eugenio Suarez blocking a full-time role for him at those defensive spots. MLB's 10th-ranked prospect is going to force his way onto the rosterin the near future, though, and should be a strong five-category producer, so fantasy managers should be stashing him away ahead oftime. |

Thu Apr 24 | 00:48 | Jordan Lawlar Records Another Multi-Hit Performance |
Arizona Diamondbacks infield prospect Jordan Lawlar continued his strong start to the 2025 campaign on Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI for Triple-A Reno. It was his fourth multi-hit performance in the last five games and ninth of the year, boosting his season slash line to .333/.426/.632 with five home runs, 22 RBI, 21 runs scored, and eight steals. That type of multi-category production is what has been expected from him all along, so long as he can stay healthy. With health intact, fantasy managers who have the roster space should be stashing the 22-year-old in all formats, as he can be a solid fantasy contributor across the board whenever he gets the call, which should be within the next couple of weeks. |

Through 21 total games this season, Lawlar has held a .325/.423/.627 line with a 25:12 K:BB. Fantasy managers should view Lawlar as a top stash option in all formats. He was able to make his MLB debut in 2023 but could not return to Arizona in 2024 due to numerous injuries. Given his current production, he is on the verge of a promotion and is worth stashing in all standard formats, due to his five-category upside. |

The 22-year-old made his MLB debut in 2023 but was unable to return to the majors in 2024 due to numerous injuries. However, Lawlar has returned to full strength and is showcasing his elite five-category upside. He should be viewed as a strong stash candidate in all formats with Ketel Marte (hamstring) still on the injured list. |

Mon Apr 14 | 09:02 | Jordan Lawlar Stays Hot On Sunday |

However, it appears the 22-year-old is healthy and performing at a high level at the top level of the minors. He is worth stashing in all 15+ team formats as he could return to the majors in the coming weeks. |

Fri Apr 11 | 09:22 | Jordan Lawlar Hits First Long Ball Of Triple-A Regular Season |
Arizona Diamondbacks infield prospect Jordan Lawlar went 2-for-2 with a double and his first home run of the campaign on Thursday evening.

Lawlar is considered not only the top prospect in Arizona but one of the best in the sport. He received a brief taste of the majors in 2023 but was unable to return in 2024 as he battled numerous injuries. However, if he continues to perform with Reno, he should be in the mix for an early return to Arizona this summer. |

Fri Apr 4 | 00:00 | Jordan Lawlar Collects Three Hits, Three RBI On Thursday |
Arizona Diamondbacks infield prospect Jordan Lawlar went 3-for-4 with a walk, three RBI, and a run scored for Triple-A Reno on Thursday. All three hits were singles, currently with just one extra-base hit on the youngseason and batting .273, but four walks have given him a nice .407 OBP to start the campaign. Regardless of performance, the D-Backs have to be happy the 22-year-old is simply healthy after playing in just 23 games all of last season due to injuries. In 2023 between Double and Triple-A, the right-handed hitter slugged 20 home runs and stole 36 bases over 105 games, resultingin an MLB debut for the then-20-year-old and even remaining on the team's postseason roster for their run to the World Series. Still young and ranked as MLB's 10th-overall prospect, the former first-round draft pick should push for a return to the majors this year. He's blocked all over the infield for playing time at the moment, but he's an injury away from being recalled. Once he's there, expect him to stay, and he has the talent to be a perennial 20/20 threat. |

Wed Mar 19 | 14:04 | Jordan Lawlar Optioned To Triple-A |
The Arizona Diamondbacks have optioned infield prospect Jordan Lawlar to Triple-A Reno. Lawlar was competing for a spot on the Opening Day roster but will instead begin his 2025 campaign at the top level of the minor leagues. Last season, Lawlar missed time due to injuries and was unable to reach the majors. He appeared in just 23 games in the minor leagues (17 at Triple-A) and posted a .318/.417/.482 slash line. Lawlar made his MLB debut during the 2023 campaign and posted .129/.206/.129 slash line with a 2:11 BB:K. Fantasy managers should monitor his progress at Triple-A as he should contend for an early-season return to the big leagues. The 22-year-old is viewed as the top prospect in the Arizona system and was drafted with the sixth overall pick in the 2021 MLB Draft. While he continues his development at Triple-A, Geraldo Perdomo will see most of the opportunities at shortstop in the majors. |

Thu Feb 27 | 00:23 | Jordan Lawlar Cranks First Cactus League Home Run Of 2025 |
Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop prospect Jordan Lawlar blasted his first home run of the spring in Wednesday's 7-1 Cactus League win over the Brewers. The two-run home run was the only hit of the day for the 22-year-old, who is now 2-for-8 this spring. While it is always a welcome sight when your players perform well, the D-backs are probably even more thrilled just to see their former first-round draft pick and top prospect on the field this spring. Last year was a lost season for Lawlar, who battled injuries throughout the campaign and managed to play in only 23 games all year. With Arizona signing Geraldo Perdomo to a four-year extension this month, there isn't a need to rush Lawlar back to the big leagues, so he'll likely get more reps at Triple-A to begin the year. At some point, due to injury or underperformance on the part of one of the regulars, we'll see Lawlar back in the Show in 2025, and he offers 20/20 potential if given the proper opportunity. MLB's 11th-ranked prospect won't be drafted in most leagues but will be a strong stash candidate early on for managers who have extra room on their bench. |

Sat Feb 15 | 08:17 | Jordan Lawlar Unlikely To Win A Bench Role |
According to Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com, Diamondbacks shortstop prospect Jordan Lawlar is not expected to win a bench role during spring training. General manager Mike Hazen noted that starting the year on the bench, given how much time he missed last season, is "probably not what's in his best interest." Last summer, Lawlar appeared in just 23 games in the minor leagues due to a lingering hamstring injury. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Grae Kessinger, Blaze Alexander, Garrett Hampson, and Ildemaro Vargas to be in the mix for this role. Lawlar made his MLB debut during the 2023 campaign and held a .129/.206/.129 line across 14 games. Across 28 Triple-A games, the top prospect in the system has held an impressive .362/.438/.602 line. He should be in the mix to return to the majors during the 2025 season. |

Wed Dec 4 2024 | 12:22 | Jordan Lawlar Getting Reps In Dominican Winter League |
Arizona Diamondbacks infield prospect Jordan Lawlar missed most of the 2024 regular season due to injury, collecting only 67 plate appearances between Double-A and Triple-A. In order to make up for lost time and hopefully make a push for a 2025 roster spot, the club's top prospect (MLB No. 9) is spending time in the Dominican Winter League, getting much-needed at-bats to knock off the rust. While the 22-year-old started off hot, slashing .407/.481/.773 in his first 27 plate appearances, that line now stands at .237/.315/.355 in 108 PA. Importantly, however, he's still shown the pop and speed combination we've been accustomed to seeing from the healthy version of him, with three home runs and eight stolen bases thus far. It's not clear where exactly he would play on the infield at this point, but if he can make the roster next spring, the former sixth-overall draft pick could be an overlooked multi-category fantasy contributor after an unremarkable 2023 debut and lost 2024 season. |

Thu Sep 12 2024 | 21:20 | Jordan Lawlar Moving Up To Triple-A |
Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop prospect Jordan Lawlar is set to be promoted to Triple-A Reno, according to MLB Pipeline. The top prospect in the Arizona system has battled a hamstring injury for most of the summer but will now return to the top level of the minor leagues. Across 15 games across the Rookie League and Double-A this summer, the No.7 ranked prospect in baseball has held a .304/.403/.482 slash line with five doubles and one round-tripper. Last summer at Triple-A Reno, the former sixth-overall selection in the 2021 MLB Draft posted a stellar .358/.438/.612 line with five home runs. While the 22-year-old has had a disappointing season, he could make a strong case to open the 2025 campaign in the big leagues if he could have a strong finish at the top level of the minors. |

Wed Sep 11 2024 | 12:18 | Jordan Lawlar Back From Minor-League Injured List |
Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop prospect Jordan Lawlar (hamstring), the team's top prospect per MLB Pipeline, was assigned to Double-A Amarillo and activated from the seven-day minor-league injured list on Sunday. Lawlar aggravated his left hamstring in July, two games into a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League after initially hurting it running out a triple in the ninth inning of a game on June 15 at Triple-A Reno. The 22-year-old has a bright future at the next level, but injuries continue to get in the way of his development. He has only been able to play in 15 games at three minor-league levels in 2024 and has hit .304/.403/.482 with an .885 OPS, a homer, 16 RBI and five stolen bases in his 67 plate appearances. Given how much time he's missed due to injuries the last couple seasons, it's a long shot that the Snakes will call him up late this year or for the postseason if they qualify. |
