Jordan Lawlar To Miss Six To Eight Weeks With Broken Wrist
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- Diamondbacks outfielder Jordan Lawlar has suffered a right wrist fracture and has been placed on the 10-day injured list, with catcher Adrian Del Castillo being reinstated in a corresponding roster move.
- Lawlar, a top prospect who has struggled to establish himself in the majors, was hitting well in 2026 before the injury, including his first major league home run, but this setback delays his progress further.
- Arizona's outfield depth is impacted by Lawlar’s injury, with Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Pavin Smith also on the injured list, forcing the team to rely on less experienced players like Jorge Barrosa, Tim Tawa, and Ildemaro Vargas.
- On the pitching side, the Diamondbacks designated right-hander Joe Ross for assignment after he struggled with a 19.64 ERA in limited innings, while right-hander Taylor Rashi was called up and added to the roster.
- Ross now faces waiver placement and could become a free agent if he clears waivers, while Rashi, who debuted last year and was re-signed on a minor league deal, has made a scoreless appearance this season at Triple-A.
