He's lined up at shortstop three times along with second base (twice) and third base (once). Lawlar is batting .273 (6-for-22) with four walks, two steals, four RBI and five runs.

2025 MLB predictions: Cy Young, ROY, Could both New York teams miss the playoffs?
Here are 13 bold predictions for the 2025 MLB season.MARCH 28
Opening season in Reno The Diamondbacks optioned Lawlar to Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.
Impact Lawlar was given the chance to compete for a spot on the Opening Day roster during camp, but after thumb surgery and a pair of hamstring injuries limited him to just 23 total games across three minor-league stops in 2024, the expectation all along has been that the 22-year-old infielder would begin the season at Triple-A. He remains the organization's top prospect and had previously seen big-league action in 2023, so a hot start to the season in Reno could quickly put Lawlar in the mix for a promotion to the big club. Arizona has been giving Lawlar equal exposure to both third base and shortstop this spring, giving him a couple of pathways to earning playing time in the big leagues once he's deemed ready.

Lost year? Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar, No. 6 overall pick in 2021, talks 2024 'blessing' After making the best of his injury-riddled 2024 season, Diamondbacks prospect Jordan Lawlar says he is ready for a big year.
FEBRUARY 27 • AZCENTRAL.COM
To be promoted when ready Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen said Lawlar will be promoted when the prospect is ready for MLB, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports. The GM responded to questions about...
Impact The questions are natural given that Lawlar is Arizona's top prospect but also plays the same position as Perdomo. "Nothing has changed with regards to Jordan Lawlar," Hazen averred." And when Jordan Lawlar is ready to be on this team, Jordan Lawlar's gonna be on this team." Lawlar was expected to compete for playing in the majors prior to the 2024 season but a spring thumb injury followed by a hamstring limited him to 23 games (nine in the rookie-level ACL). Hazen said Lawlar can contribute off the bench, feeling the team will benefit if the prospect is one of the best 13 players in the organization. Lawlar has been exposed to third base in the minors, and more of that is to be expected in 2025, when he's likely to open at Triple-A Reno.

Bench role unlikely Lawlar is unlikely to win a bench role during spring training, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.
Impact Lawlar is nominally in the mix for a backup infielder role in camp, but given the time he missed in 2024 -- injuries limited him to 14 games -- having him serve in a back role is "probably not what's in his best interest," per Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen. The roster spot should be a battle between Garrett Hampson and Blaze Alexander with non-roster invitees Grae Kessinger, Ildemaro Vargas and Connor Kaiser also in the mix.

Activated from injured list Lawlar (hamstring) was activated from the minor-league inured list Sept. 8, MLB.com reports.
Impact Lawlar was sidelined in mid-June with a Grade 1 hamstring strain and an aggravation caused him to miss more time than expected. He's been limited to only 15 games in a frustrating season, but he'll look to close the campaign strong.
SEPTEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Closing in on return Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Monday that he's hopeful Lawlar (hamstring) can return from the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Reno "soon," Jesse Borek of MLB.com reports.
Impact Lawlar has been limited to just 13 games this season due to a pair of hamstring injuries, but he's almost ready to return to action. Lovullo added Monday that Lawlar is likely to play winter ball this offseason in order to make up for lost time.

Impact The 22-year-old began a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League over the weekend but quickly aggravated the hamstring injury he suffered in mid-June. Lawlar has played in just four games for Triple-A Reno this season due to injuries and won't be back on the field for the Aces anytime soon. A return in late August is likely the best-case scenario in what's shaping up to be a lost campaign for the Diamondbacks' top prospect.

Begins rehab in ACL Lawlar (hamstring) started at third base and went 0-for-3 in the Arizona Complex League on Saturday.
Impact Lawlar played seven innings in the field in the first game of his rehab. He's missed a lot of action due to injuries this season, and the Diamondbacks need him to build up at-bats before any thoughts of promoting him to the majors. To that end, it's noteworthy that he started at third base Saturday. With Geraldo Perdomo locked in at shortstop, third base becomes a potential landing spot for Lawlar.

Set for rehab assignment Arizona sent Lawlar (hamstring) on a rehab assignment to the Arizona Complex League on Saturday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact Lawlar was placed on Triple-A Reno's 7-day injured list June 17 after sustaining a Grade 1 left hamstring strain while legging out a triple against Sacramento two days earlier. Lawlar missed the beginning of the season while recovering from a surgical procedure to repair ligament damage in his right thumb, and he played in just 11 games before the hamstring strain. The 22-year-old shortstop has gone 16-for-45 with five doubles, five stolen bases, one home run and 16 RBI in the minors this season. Lawlar will get up to game speed over a few outings in the ACL as he works his way back to Reno.

Out 4-to-6 weeks Lawlar is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks after being diagnosed with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Lawlar suffered the injury while legging out a triple for Triple-A Reno on Saturday. A Grade 1 strain is the least severe, but it's still going to cost the top prospect at least a month of action. Lawlar has played just 11 games this season, having previously missed time following surgery to repair ligament damage in his right thumb.

Begins rehab in ACL Lawlar (thumb) started at shortstop and went 0-for-2 with a walk for the Diamondbacks' affiliate in the Arizona Complex League on Wednesday.
Impact Lawlar began a rehab assignment Wednesday, playing five innings in the field. He's been working his way back from a ruptured UCL tendon in his right thumb, and his rehab recently involved at-bats at the team's training facility at Salt River Fields. The plan, as outlined by Arizona farm director Shaun Larkin to Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports, is for Lawlar to get in 2-to-3 weeks of game action before joining Triple-A Reno.
