Jordan Lawlar Makes Wild-Card Roster
1 year agoThe Arizona Diamondbacks included rookie shortstop Jordan Lawlar on their roster for the wild-card series this week against the Milwaukee Brewers. Arizona's top prospect, per MLB Pipeline, was called up from Triple-A Reno on Sept. 7 and went just 4-for-31 (.129) with no home runs or RBI, one stolen base, 11 strikeouts and two runs scored in his first 34 plate appearances over 14 games. The 21-year-old is plenty talented, though, so the Diamondbacks will include him as a potential spark off their bench on the road in Milwaukee this week. In 105 games on the farm before his call-up this year, Lawlar had 20 home runs and 36 stolen bases.
