Jordan Lawlar, the Arizona Diamondbacks' promising 23-year-old shortstop turned outfielder, remains sidelined by a fractured right wrist that could reshape his breakout season. Hit by a 94.3 mph sinker from Atlanta Braves reliever Osvaldo Bido on April 2 during a brutal 17-2 loss, Lawlar initially passed X-rays clean but a CT scan the next day confirmed the fracture, MLB.com reports. Manager Torey Lovullo announced a six-to-nine week recovery, thrusting him onto the 10-day injured list April 3, per Associated Press. By April 7, the D-backs shifted him to the 60-day IL to clear a roster spot, RotoWire confirms, locking him out until at least early June and potentially delaying his hot start of six-for-18 with a homer, double, and steal.
No public appearances or social media buzz from Lawlar in the past few days, as he's focused on rehab away from the spotlight. Business-wise, his absence bumps teammates like Jorge Barrosa and Tim Tawa into bigger roles, FOX Sports notes. With the D-backs hosting the San Diego Padres today in a key series—Arizona at 14-11 overall, eight-and-five at home—Lawlar's injury looms large, Fubo News highlights in its injury rundown. No major headlines in the last 24 hours, but his long-term bio arc hinges on a swift return to fuel the Diamondbacks' playoff push.
Whispers in Arizona Republic circles suggest he's progressing in therapy, though unconfirmed. This setback tests the former top prospect's resilience after a sizzling spring.
