Tawa went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Thursday's 11-10 win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Tawa entered as a pinch hitter for first baseman Pavin Smith and remained in the game to play the same position. It was the second time this season Tawa played first base. Arizona might normally use Josh Naylor to fill-in at first, but he had started the game as the DH and eventually left with a shoulder injury. If Naylor's injury forces him to miss time, Smith would be the likely starter at first base against righties. Against a lefty, which the D-backs will face Friday (Nick Lodolo), either Tawa, Lourdes Gurriel or Ildemaro Vargas could start.

Tawa went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Tawa doubled in the ninth inning and scored Arizona's second run on a Ketel Marte single. It was an important run the team needed, as closer Justin Martinez allowed a run in the bottom of the frame. Since Marte returned from the injured list in early May, forcing Tawa into a part-time role as a fill-in outfielder against left-handers, the rookie has handled the transition well. He's batting .271 (13-for-48) with four extra-base hits, four RBI, four steals and five runs over 19 games in the part-time role.

Tawa started in center field and went 0-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 5-0 win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Tawa filled his usual role, replacing Alek Thomas whenever the Diamondbacks face a left-hander. He knocked in Arizona's first run with a sacrifice fly in the second inning and then stole his sixth base of the season in the eighth inning. He's stolen four bases over 15 contests since second baseman Ketel Marte returned from an injury and adjusted Tawa's role to a degree. Tawa is batting .227/.297/.423 with five home runs, 13 RBI and 13 runs scored in 34 contests.

Tawa went 1-for-2 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Tawa didn't start Tuesday, instead coming off the bench to replace Alek Thomas in the eighth inning. As expected, playing time has gotten sparse for Tawa, who is now functioning as a short-side platoon option in center field. He's batting .247 five home runs, five steals, 12 RBI and 13 runs scored across 98 plate appearances this season.

Tawa started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 8-0 win over Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Tawa replaced Alek Thomas in center field against Rockies left-hander Carson Palmquist. He also replaced Thomas against San Francisco southpaw Robbie Ray earlier in the week. Tawa was dislodged from an infield utility role when the Diamondbacks called up Jordan Lawlar, but he'll fill the short side of a platoon in center. Tawa carries a .228 average (18-for-79), but he's slugged five home runs and three doubles (.228 ISO) through 27 games.

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.
