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.

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 Diamondbacks on Saturday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact Lawlar was placed on 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.

Makes roster for WC Series Lawlar has made the roster for the Diamondbacks' Wild Card Series matchup against the Brewers.
Impact Lawlar went 4-for-31 (.129) with zero extra-base hits after being promoted Sept. 7 from Triple-A Reno, but he is a highly talented 21-year-old infielder with the ability to provide a spark off the bench. Prior to his call-up last month, Lawlar registered an .874 OPS with 20 homers and 36 steals in 105 games this summer between the Double-A and Triple-A levels.

On bench Tuesday Lawlar is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Giants.
Impact Lawlar has gone 3-for-20 (.150) with zero extra-base hits and eight strikeouts in eight major-league games since being called up Sept. 7 from Triple-A Reno. It appears the talented 21-year-old infielder will be a part-time player for the Diamondbacks down the stretch.

Sits for third straight Lawlar remains on the bench for Saturday's game against the Cubs.
Impact The Diamondbacks gave Lawlar a chance to prove he can help the team down the stretch, calling up the 2021 sixth-overall pick in early September despite the fact that he'd played in just 16 Triple-A games. He's only appeared in six MLB contests thus far but looks overmatched through his first 18 plate appearances, striking out eight times while recording just two hits, both singles. WIth the Diamondbacks in as tight of a playoff race as possible - they entered play Saturday tied for the third and final Wild Card spot - it's no surprise to see the unproven Lawlar remain on the bench while Geraldo Perdomo continues to start at shortstop.

Sitting Friday Lawlar isn't in Arizona's lineup Friday against the Cubs.

Snaps hitless run Lawlar went 1-for-3 in Wednesday's 7-1 loss to the Mets.
Impact Lawlar's bunt single in the sixth inning snapped a stretch of 13 at-bats without a hit. He's 2-for-16 since being called up, and neither hit has left the infield. The Diamondbacks have settled in to starting Lawlar against left-handers only, and he was pinch hit for in his final at-bat Wednesday when the Mets brought in right-handed reliever Trevor Gott.

Not in lineup Tuesday Lawlar is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Mets.

The right-handed hitter was pinch hit for in the sixth inning against righty reliever Sean Reid-Foley, the first time manager Torey Lovullo has removed the young shortstop from a game. Lawlar is hitless over the last 11 at-bats with seven strikeouts.
