Delivers walk-off blast Waldschmidt went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Cubs.

Impact Waldschmidt went deep as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning, taking a Jacob Webb slider out to left field for the walk-off blast. Waldschmidt has gone 16-for-62 (.258) in August, adding two homers, two doubles and eight RBI over 21 contests. He was given a rest day Tuesday, but he could take over as a starting option in center field if Jordan Lawlar (head) is forced to miss time after getting hit by a pitch. On the year, Waldschmidt is batting .276 with a .739 OPS, three homers, 21 RBI, 27 runs scored, 15 doubles, one triple and seven stolen bases through 66 contests.

Riding pine Tuesday Waldschmidt is out of the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against the Cubs, per Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com.

Heading to bench Sunday Waldschmidt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Jody Jackson of DBacks.tv reports.

Impact Jorge Barrosa will cover center field in place of Waldschmidt, who had started each of the last 12 games while slashing .211/.318/.289 over that stretch. Though he's held down a near-everyday role in center field since being recalled from Triple-A Reno on July 9, Waldschmidt could soon be pushed to a corner spot with Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) in the midst of a rehab assignment and likely trending toward a return from the 60-day injured list during the upcoming week.

Comes up clutch Friday Waldschmidt went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Waldschmidt was clutch Friday, taking Edwin Diaz deep for a walk-off blast in the ninth inning. Over six games in August, Waldschmidt has gone 7-for-20 (.350) as he makes a case to stay involved in the lineup even when Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) returns from the injured list. Waldschmidt is batting .292 with a .748 OPS, two homers, 15 RBI, 22 runs scored, 13 doubles, one triple and six stolen bases over 51 contests this season. While the raw numbers are strong, the outfielder is benefiting from a .427 BABIP that has largely cancelled out the risk presented by his 32.0 percent strikeout rate.

Three knocks in win Waldschmidt went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday's 10-4 win over the Padres.

Impact Waldschmidt has six multi-hit efforts over his last 11 games, going 16-for-34 (.471) in that span. The outfielder's strong play is a positive sign, but it's unclear if it'll be enough for him to maintain his playing time once Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) completes a rehab assignment. Waldschmidt could be at risk of falling into a platoon role once Lawlar returns, as the Diamondbacks added Lars Nootbaar from the Cardinals at the trade deadline to provide more depth in left field. Waldschmidt is batting .298 with a .749 OPS, one home run, 13 RBI, 21 runs scored, 13 doubles, one triple and six stolen bases over 49 contests in his rookie year.
