Jordan Lawlar is off to a hot start in Triple-A Reno, prompting the call-up despite the Diamondbacks' depth at middle infield and third base.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are bringing top prospect Jordan Lawlar back to the majors, reports the Arizona Republic. The 22-year-old Lawlar has been in the majors before. He appeared in 14 games late in 2023 and then also saw very limited action on the roster in the NLDS,

D-backs manager Torey Lovullo told reporters that the current plan is to use Lawlar at several positions. He might not play every day, which makes the promotion somewhat curious, but the belief is that it's time for him to be in the major leagues.
