Tim Tawa - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Likely on Opening Day roster Tawa is expected to be part of the Opening Day roster, after the Diamondbacks reassigned Jacob Amaya to minor-league camp Sunday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Impact Tawa was one of four players competing for three bench spots, and Amaya's reassignment opens a spot for him, Jorge Barrosa and Ildemaro Vargas. Tawa is batting .318 (14-for-44) with eight walks, three doubles, two home runs, seven RBI and 10 runs scored through 16 Cactus League games. He's expected to be a utility player, capable of playing both infield and outfield.

Hot spring start Tawa went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's spring game against the Dodgers.

Impact Tawa has hit safely in all three Cactus League contests thus far, going 4-for-8 with two walks. He's served at second base (twice) and designated hitter (once). Tawa is line for a roster spot as a utility infielder that also has outfield experience.

Riding pine Saturday Tawa isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

Impact The D-backs will keep Tawa on the bench Saturday after he went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's series opener. His absence will allow Ildemaro Vargas to start at first base and bat eighth.

Settling into everyday role at 1B Tawa will start at first base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Twins.

Impact Tawa will pick up his fifth consecutive start and his fourth in a row at first base, where he appears to have emerged as Arizona's preferred option in the wake of season-ending injuries to Pavin Smith (quadriceps) and Tyler Locklear (elbow). Since being called up from Triple-A Reno on Monday, Tawa has gone 5-for-13 with two doubles, two walks, five runs and one RBI.

Slots in at first base Tawa started at first base and went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 5-3 win over San Francisco.

Impact Tawa helped Arizona build an early lead with a run-producing single in the second inning, and then scored the team's final run in the sixth. He's made two straight starts -- Tawa started in center field against left-hander Tuesday. With MLB.com reporting that Tyler Locklear (elbow) is expected to miss the rest of the season, Tawa (against righties) and Ildemaro Vargas (lefties) will likely share first base going forward. Tawa also gives manager Torey Lovullo a right-handed bat to use against southpaws.

Returning to big leagues Tawa (undisclosed) was reinstated from the minor-league injured list and recalled from Triple-A Reno on Monday.

Impact Tawa was placed on the 7-day injured list in mid-August due to an unknown injury, but he's since returned to health and will now join the big-league roster to presumably contribute as a utility man. He'll take the spot of Tyler Locklear, who was placed on the 10-day IL due to left elbow inflammation.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Shelved at Triple-A Triple-A Reno placed Tawa on its 7-day injured list Aug. 2 due to an unspecified injury.

Impact After being demoted to Reno on July 5, Tawa went just 3-for-31 (.097 average) with 11 strikeouts in nine games before landing on the IL. The utility player is without a timeline to return to action for Reno, and his poor production prior to getting hurt suggests he won't be a high-priority call-up for Arizona when the roster expands in September.

Optioned to Reno The Diamondbacks optioned Tawa to Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

Impact Tawa has struggled during his time in the majors, slashing .200/.262/.355 with six homers, 14 RBI, 21 runs scored and seven steals through 173 plate appearances. He'll be sent back to Triple-A in order to get back on track, clearing space on the roster for Corbin Carroll's (wrist) return from the injured list.

Starts at first base Tawa started at first base and went 0-for-3 in a 7-2 loss to the Giants.

Impact Tawa filled in for Josh Naylor, as the left-handed hitting first baseman was held out against San Francisco lefty Robbie Ray. Naylor, who recently experienced neck stiffness, returned to the starting lineup Wednesday as the designated hitter, and the decision to sit him Thursday does not appear to be injury related. Tawa has gone hitless over his last 24 at-bats while striking 10 times (41.7 strikeout percentage).

Fills in at third base Tawa entered Tuesday's game to play third base after Ildemaro Vargas (foot) was removed. Tawa went 0-for-3 with a run scored in a 4-1 win over the White Sox.

Impact Tawa entered for an injured team for a second consecutive game, after he had replaced Josh Naylor (shoulder) on Monday. Vargas was replacing an injured Eugenio Suarez (hand), and now the Diamondbacks are scrambling to cope with the injuries. Suarez, who is not expected to play Wednesday, had his hand in a wrap Tuesday and will eventually undergo an MRI when the swelling subsides, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports. In the interim, Tawa could be in line for a few starts at third base, but it should be noted that infielder Blaze Alexander was scratched from Triple-A Reno's lineup following the news of Vargas' injury.
