Tawa went 3-for-4 in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

The utility player got a start in center field Tuesday, and he could be set for a short-side platoon role there. Tawa's playing time is set to drop with Jordan Lawlar coming up from Triple-A Reno to fill a utility role in the infield. Tawa's also got some versatility, but he'll have fewer opportunities to make an impact. He's yet to do much with his playing time this season, batting .224 over 26 games, though he has added a .762 OPS, five home runs, 11 RBI, 11 runs scored and four stolen bases across 89 plate appearances.

Tawa is expected to see most of his opportunities in the outfield moving forward after the Diamondbacks called up infielder Jordan Lawlar from Triple-A Reno on Monday, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tawa remained on the roster following Lawlar's promotion, with Arizona instead designating infielder/outfielder Garrett Hampson for assignment. Tawa had filled in at second base when Ketel Marte was on the injured list earlier this season and had served as a utility infielder since Marte's return. Lawlar will now step in as the club's top utility infielder while Tawa transitions to an outfield role, which will include occasional action in center field. He made one start in left field for the Diamondbacks this season and 26 across the outfield in 2024 while in the minors. He could serve as the right-handed batting complement to Alek Thomas in center field.

Tawa could be a candidate to return to the minors with the Diamondbacks expected to promote top prospect Jordan Lawlar from Triple-A Reno on Monday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lawlar has seen action at second base, shortstop and third base at Reno this season, but the Diamondbacks already have reliable incumbents on hand at those respective positions in Ketel Marte, Geraldo Perdomo and Eugenio Suarez. Piecoro's report suggests that the Diamondbacks envision Lawler filling a utility role and playing three to four times per week, which would render Tawa a redundant piece on the roster. Tawa remained with the big club after Marte was reinstated from the injured list May 2 but has appeared in six of the Diamondbacks' ensuing 10 games while going 3-for-14 with one walk, two steals, one RBI and one run.

Tawa went 1-for-2 with a walk and two stolen bases in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Tawa got the start in left field Saturday -- it was his first major-league start anywhere other than second base. He has often provided cover for Ketel Marte at the keystone as his veteran teammate gets regular rest to avoid aggravating a hamstring issue. Tawa is up to four steals on the year, and he's added five home runs, 11 RBI, 11 runs scored, two doubles and a .203 batting average over 82 plate appearances. He's gone 4-for-14 (.286) over six games in May.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Friday that the decision to keep Tawa on the major-league roster following the activation of Ketel Marte from the 10-day injured list was a "no-brainer," Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tawa was the primary fill-in at second base while Marte was on the IL, and, as expected, the former opened Friday's game on the bench. Tawa eventually pinch hit for Alek Thomas in the ninth. Marte, who is coming back from a hamstring injury, will not play second base every day, so Tawa will fill in on the days when Marte serves as the designated hitter. Tawa will also play third base and center field. "We got to get him working full-speed in center field, and you'll maybe see him get some reps out there," Lovullo said. Tawa batted .190/.304/.483 with seven extra-base hits, including five home runs, over 58 at-bats while Marte was sidelined.

Tawa went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Tawa gave the Diamondbacks a two-run cushion in the top of the ninth inning with his fifth home run. After swatting 32 home runs in two minor-league stops in 2024, Tawa has a combined eight through 25 games for Triple-A Reno and Arizona this season. It should be noted that Ketel Marte (hamstring) is with the D-backs on their road trip and could be activated for the weekend series in Philadelphia. Marte's return means fewer opportunities for Tawa and Garrett Hampson.

Tawa batted leadoff and went 0-for-5 in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Tawa typically occupies the ninth spot in the order against pitchers of either hand. Against lefties, Corbin Carroll is dropped to second and Geraldo Perdomo leads off, but Perdomo was getting a rest day Wednesday, prompting Tawa's promotion. Once Ketel Marte (hamstring) returns from the 10-day injured list, he'll be the default leadoff batter against southpaws. Tawa is batting .182 (10-for-55) with a .728 OPS (six extra-base hits) over 18 games.

Tawa went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's 7-4 extra-inning loss to the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Tawa's fifth-inning home run put Arizona up 4-1. The homer was the third in five games for the 26-year-old, who has six extra-base knocks among his nine hits (.389 ISO) over 36 at-bats. Tawa was making his fifth straight start Thursday in place of Ketel Marte (hamstring), while Garrett Hampson last started at second base a week ago. Marte just began a running program, but Arizona has yet to indicate when he might be ready for a rehab assignment.

Tawa went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-1 win over Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Tawa gave the Diamondbacks some cushion with a home run in the fifth inning that increased their lead to 3-1. It was his third consecutive start at second base and fifth in the last six games, during which he's popped three home runs. Tawa's last three hits have left the park. The primary starter at second base, Ketel Marte (hamstring), has begun baseball activities, but he's not running yet. That means Tawa's run of regular at-bats should continue for at least another week.

Tawa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Arizona's bats were mostly quiet on the day. Tawa's homer in the ninth inning, his second of the season, was one of only four hits for the team -- Corbin Carroll had the other three. Tawa has reached base safely in six of seven starts and is slashing .217/.321/.522 over nine outings since being called up to help fill in for the injured Ketel Marte (hamstring) at second base.
