Many would have loved to see Jordan Lawlar up as Ketel Marte’s replacement earlier this month, but Tawa got the call and has since collected five homers in 19 games. He’s batting just .190, but Statcast thinks he’s been really unlucky there, and he does have nine walks through 69 plate appearances. In spite of his success, he still figures to head back to the minors when Marte is activated.

Tawa added a run for the Diamondbacks in the fifth inning with a solo homer off Zack Littell. It was his third home run of the season while adding two stolen bases over 36 plate appearances as he continues to fill in a second base for the injured Ketel Marte.

Tawa homered in Wednesday night’s game, so it makes sense that the team keeps him in the lineup. The 26-year-old rookie has gone 4-for-18 in his first six games with one home run and five RBI. He remains off fantasy radars with Ketel Marte (hamstring) nearing a return and Jordan Lawlar inching closer to a call-up.
