Sent to Triple-A Atlanta optioned Luplow to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

Impact Luplow had seemed likely to platoon in left field with Eddie Rosario when he was signed, but he's been passed on the depth chart by non-roster invitee Kevin Pillar. The 29-year-old should get another look in the majors eventually.

Making outfield debut Luplow (oblique) will start in left field and bat seventh in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles.

Impact Due to a sore right oblique that he sustained in the early stages of spring training, Luplow didn't make his Grapefruit League debut until Sunday, when he went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored while serving as Atlanta's designated hitter in an 11-3 win over the Pirates. With Luplow checking out fine following that contest, he'll now get the opportunity to play the outfield for the first time this spring. The righty-hitting Luplow profiles as a potential short-side platoon mate in left for the lefty-hitting Eddie Rosario.

Making spring debut Luplow (oblique) will serve as Atlanta's designated hitter and No. 5 batter in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates.

Impact Luplow is set to make his spring debut after he had been slowed through much of camp by a sore right oblique. Atlanta is easing Luplow back into the mix Sunday in a non-defensive role, but he should be ready to resume playing the corner outfield by the end of the team's Grapefruit League slate.

Dealing with sore oblique Luplow acknowledged Thursday that he's been battling some right oblique soreness, Justin Toscano of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact The discomfort popped up as Lulpow was taking live at-bats just before the start of spring training. It's a few weeks behind him by now and the expectation is that he will be fully recovered by the opening of the 2023 regular season. The 29-year-old outfielder signed a one-year, $1.4 million free-agent contract with Atlanta in December.

Joins Atlanta Atlanta signed Luplow to a one-year, $1.4 million contract Monday.

Impact Luplow's poor 2022 campaign with Arizona included a .176/.274/.361 slash line and 28 RBI. He was designated for assignment in November. At this point in his career, the righty-hitting Luplow is likely limited to short-side platoon duty, but even that role might not be immediately available with Marcell Ozuna and Travis d'Arnaud still on the roster. The 29-year-old has a career .226/.337/.505 slash line and 125 wRC+ against southpaws.

DFA'd by Arizona Luplow was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Impact Luplow was acquired by Arizona in November 2021, and he won't retain his spot on the 40-man roster since he struggled to a .176/.274/.361 slash line in 83 games during his first season in the desert.

Three hits against Giants Luplow went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's win over the Giants.

Impact Luplow's .175 average this season is the worst of his career; however, he has gone 5-for-6 in his last two games. The outfielder has been particularly bad against right-handed pitching during 2022, recording a .595 OPS over 106 plate appearances compared to a .680 OPS over 123 plate appearances facing lefties.

Clubs 11th homer Luplow went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Rockies.

Impact Luplow delivered an RBI single to put Arizona ahead in the first inning and a solo shot to pad the lead in the sixth. The long ball was his first homer since his inside-the-park trot June 21. The 28-year-old outfielder is still primarily limited to a short-side platoon role -- he last started against a right June 22, which was as a late addition to the lineup. Luplow has made the most of his limited role with 11 homers, 23 RBI, 22 runs scored and four stolen bases, but he's slashing only .178/.268/.452 through 153 plate appearances.

Added to Wednesday's lineup Luplow was added to the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

Hits inside-the-park homer Luplow went 1-for-4 with a two-run inside-the-park home run and a walk in Tuesday's 3-2 extra-innings loss to the Padres.

Impact Luplow opened the scoring with hustle in the third inning, with his hit to center field bouncing away from Trent Grisham. While it wasn't the most conventional of homers, it was Luplow's 10th of the year in 42 contests, putting him just five shy of his career high in long balls. The outfielder has added a paltry .171 batting average and .279 on-base percentage, but he's slugging .476 with 20 RBI, 20 runs scored, four stolen bases and a pair of doubles this year. As long as David Peralta (back) is on the shelf, Luplow should pick up additional playing time.
