Records two RBI in win Locklear went 0-for-3, was hit by a pitch and had ]two RBI in Thursday's 6-4 win over Milwaukee.
Impact Locklear came to the plate twice with the bases loaded and managed to get a run in. He was hit by a pitch in the second inning and then plated a run on fielder's choice in the third. The right-handed hitting Locklear got the start at first base against against a lefty (Jose Quintana) in the first game for Arizona without Pavin Smith, who flew back to Phoenix to undergo imaging on a quadriceps injury. He's could see regular opportunities while Smith is unavailable, although a .528 OPS over 22 games since joining the Diamondbacks leaves Locklear vulnerable.

Poised to regain regular role Locklear is expected to take over as the Diamondbacks' primary first baseman with Pavin Smith (quadriceps) likely to be placed on the injured list following Thursday's game against...
Impact Since being acquired from the Mariners at the trade deadline, Locklear has gotten off to a listless start to his time with the Diamondbacks, slashing just .186/.269/.271 with two home runs and a 37.2 percent strikeout rate over 21 games. The right-handed-hitting Locklear had moved into the short side of a platoon at first base after Smith moved past an oblique injury and was activated from the IL on Aug. 18, but the latter player will end up returning to the IL less than two weeks later due to a new injury. The Diamondbacks don't have an obvious option to use in a platoon with Locklear while Smith is out, so Locklear should have the opportunity to play fairly regularly against right-handers.

Out again in favor of Smith Locklear is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.
Impact Locklear has now been on the bench for two straight games versus right-handers since Pavin Smith returned from the injured list. While the 24-year-old should operate as more than a short-side platoon bat, it's clear that Smith will put a significant dent in Locklear's playing time.

Out of Monday's lineup Locklear is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.
Impact Pavin Smith is starting at first base in his first game back from the injured list. Locklear had started each of the previous 16 contests and should still function as the team's primary first baseman down the stretch, but Smith could eat into his playing time somewhat.

Homers in loss Locklear went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Rangers.
Impact Locklear gave the Diamondbacks an early lead with his second home run since being traded to Arizona. He's operated as the primary first baseman after Josh Naylor was traded and Pavin Smith (oblique) landed on the 10-day injured list. Smith begins a rehab assignment Tuesday and could return for a homestand beginning next Monday. A lefty-righty platoon between Smith and Locklear is a possibility, but the organization may opt to give the younger Locklear the at-bats as Arizona plays out the string. Locklear has a .653 OPS with a 34.9 strikeout percentage over 43 plate appearances.

Swats homer in win Locklear went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-2 win over the Padres.
Impact Locklear has started four straight games at first base for Arizona since he was acquired from Seattle in the Eugenio Suarez deal last week. The Diamondbacks' sell-off at the deadline suggests a pivot toward evaluating for 2026, and getting a prospect like Locklear some significant playing time is a factor in that. In addition to his homer, he's added a stolen base and a 2:5 BB:K in his time with Arizona so far. He may face a challenge for playing time once Pavin Smith (oblique) returns from the injured list.

Impact Pavin Smith (oblique) should return from the 10-day injured list sometime in August, but he could remain mostly at designated hitter while Locklear receives an opportunity to become the Diamondbacks' long-term answer at first base. Locklear struggled during his cup of coffee in the majors last season but has slashed .316/.401/.542 with 19 home runs and 17 stolen bases in 434 plate appearances at Triple-A Tacoma this season.

Shipped to Arizona in Suarez deal The Mariners traded Locklear to the Diamondbacks on Wednesday alongside Hunter Cranton and Juan Burgos in exchange for Eugenio Suarez, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Mariners recalled Locklear from Triple-A on Wednesday, but instead of backing up Josh Naylor, the 24-year-old will now aim to carve out a role for himself in Arizona. Locklear has impressed in the minors this year, slashing .316/.401/.542 with 19 home runs, 82 RBI, 70 runs scored and 17 stolen bases through 434 plate appearances in Triple-A. He should fill in as the D-backs' first baseman for the immediate future, though his path to playing time will become less clear once Pavin Smith (oblique) is activated from the injured list.
