Goes deep in win Tawa went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-0 win over Atlanta.

Impact Tawa gave the Diamondbacks some insurance with a 406-foot blast in the top of the ninth inning. It continued a strong August for the 26-year-old, who's hitting .286 with three homers, six RBI, seven runs scored and four stolen bases through 13 games this month. On the year, he's slashing .233/.284/.394 with seven long balls, 27 RBI, 22 runs scored and six steals across 203 plate appearances.

Swipes two more bags Tawa went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies.

Impact Tawa is batting .302 (13-for-43) with two home runs, five RBI and four steals over 11 games in August. He's settled into a starting role at first base, and it appears the steady playing time is helping him gain some confidence on the basepaths. His production isn't exactly rooted in stability -- he's also struck out 13 times this month. Overall, Tawa is batting .236 with a .673 OPS, six home runs, six steals, 26 RBI and 21 runs scored through 64 contests.

Picks up steal in win Tawa went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Tawa has played well in August, going 9-for-27 (.333) over seven games this month. He's added five RBI and a 1:7 BB:K while seeing the bulk of the playing time at first base, though Tyler Locklear and Ildemaro Vargas are also in the mix for time at the position. Tawa is batting .234 with a .686 OPS, six home runs, three steals, 26 RBI, 21 runs scored and eight doubles across 179 plate appearances this season, so his recent hot streak isn't likely to last the rest of the year.

Clubs homer Wednesday Tawa went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a second RBI and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 10-4 win over the Padres.

Impact Tawa has gone 7-for-20 with two homers and five RBI over five games in August. It's a nice turnaround for the utility man, who ended July in an 0-for-15 skid. On the year, he's batting .232 with a .687 OPS, six homers, 26 RBI, 20 runs scored, eight doubles and two stolen bases over 170 plate appearances. Tawa has seen most of his time at first base lately, but he provided cover for a resting Nolan Arenado at third in Wednesday's contest.

The utility man had gone 1-for-23 (.043) over his previous seven games before Monday's standout performance. On the year, Tawa is hitting .224/.280/.385 with five homers, 24 RBI, 17 runs and two stolen bases across 56 contests.

Breaks up perfect game Tawa went 1-for-4 in Sunday's 5-0 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Tawa had one of the two hits Arizona could muster on the day. His sixth-inning single snapped a perfect game bid by Cleveland starter Gavin Williams, who had set down the first 15 batters, including nine by strikeout. The hit came after Tawa fouled off a bunt attempt earlier in the at-bat, which goes against an unwritten rule in baseball, angered the Guardians and eventually led to a benches-clearing situation.

AUGUST 2 • Associated Press

Receiving evening off Tawa is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Tawa will hit the bench for the series opener after he had been included in the lineup in each of Arizona's previous seven games. During that stretch, Tawa made starts at first base, third base and in center field while going 8-for-28 (.286 average) with two doubles, one walk, four RBI and three runs. Tawa should have a fairly clear path to an everyday role while the Diamondbacks contend with the absences of Lourdes Gurriel (adductor), Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) and Tommy Troy (shoulder).

Another two-hit effort Tawa went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Nationals.

Impact Tawa has delivered two-hit performances in Arizona's first two games in Washington and will take a five-game hitting streak into the series finale. He'll start in center field and bat ninth Sunday in what will mark his seventh consecutive start. Tawa should have a fairly firm grasp on an everyday role while he's producing well at the plate and while the Diamondbacks have three key regulars (Lourdes Gurriel, Jordan Lawlar and Tommy Troy) on the injured list.

Back at first base Tawa started at first base and went 0-for-4 in Saturday's 5-3 win over St. Louis.

Impact Tawa was back a first base after defending center field Friday. He's started five of the last six games at first base -- a result of the team designating Pavin Smith for assignment -- but his versatility could be needed over the next several weeks. Two outfielders, Tommy Troy (shoulder) and Lourdes Gurriel (thigh), have landed on the injured list within the last few days.

JULY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Stays hot following break Tawa started in center field and went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact Tawa, who entered the break on a three-game hit streak, extended it to four games with a third-inning solo homer that tied the game at 2-2. He's gone 9-for-17 with three home runs, three doubles and eight RBI during the hit streak. With news that Tommy Troy (shoulder) will miss multiple weeks, Tawa is poised to help fill the void in center field along with Ryan Waldschmidt. Tawa has also been getting time at first base, a position where the Diamondbacks rank last in MLB with a .594 OPS.
