Lawlar Injured: Tawa Steps In Amidst Blowout Loss

In Thursday's game, Jordan Lawlar was removed in the eighth inning due to a wrist injury. Lawlar was hit by a pitch during the seventh inning but remained in the game to complete his baserunning. Tawa entered the game defensively in left field and had one hitless plate appearance. Initial X-rays on Lawlar's wrist revealed no fractures. However, he is scheduled for a precautionary CT scan on Friday. The team has not yet confirmed Lawlar's availability for Friday's game.

Should Lawlar be unable to play, the outfield duties are expected to be covered by either Tawa or Jorge Barrosa. This situation arose during a significant 17-2 loss to Atlanta, highlighting potential roster adjustments needed for upcoming games.
