Swats homer in win
Locklear went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-2 win over the Padres.
Analysis
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.

Expected to get first look at 1B
The Diamondbacks plan to deploy Locklear as their primary starting first baseman after acquiring him in a trade with the Mariners on Wednesday, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
Analysis
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
Arizona acquired Locklear and right-handers Hunter Cranton and Juan Burgos from Seattle on Wednesday in exchange for third baseman Eugenio Suarez, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
The Mariners recalled Locklear from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday, but instead of backing up Josh Naylor at first base, the 24-year-old will now aim to carve out a role for himself in Arizona. Locklear has impressed in the minors this season, slashing .316/.401/.542 with 19 home runs, 82 RBI, 70 runs scored and 17 stolen bases through 434 plate appearances at Triple-A. He should step in as Arizona's primary 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.
Analysis
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.
