Tyler Locklear - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

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.

Promotion made official The Mariners recalled Locklear from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Impact Locklear has been mashing this season with Tacoma, sporting a .316/.401/.543 batting line with 19 home runs and 17 stolen bases over 97 games. With Josh Naylor manning first base, Locklear's best chance at playing time would be if the Mariners open up the designated-hitter spot by shifting Jorge Polanco to second base on a permanent basis. The right-handed-hitting Locklear could also occupy the short side of a platoon with the left-handed-hitting Naylor, who has produced a 94 wRC+ versus southpaws on the season.

Call-up on tap The Mariners are expected to recall Locklear from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Locklear wasn't able to crack the big-league roster out of spring training, but he's slashed .316/.401/.543 with 19 home runs and 17 stolen bases over 97 games at Triple-A this season. The 24-year-old isn't likely to see regular playing time after the Mariners acquired Josh Naylor, though the right-handed-hitting Locklear could draw starts over the lefty-hitting Naylor at first base when Seattle faces southpaws.

Joining Mariners The Mariners are expected to recall Locklear from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Locklear wasn't able to crack the big-league roster out of spring training, but he's slashed .316/.401/.543 with 19 homers, 81 RBI, 70 runs scored and 17 stolen bases over 97 games in Triple-A. The 24-year-old isn't likely to start often in Seattle now that Josh Naylor is a Mariner, though the two players may form a platoon at first base, which would see the right-handed-hitting Locklear start primarily against southpaws.
