Contributes in return
Lawlar started in center field and went 2-for-4 with two RBI, two steals and a run scored in Friday's 5-2 win over the Reds. He was also hit by a pitch.
Analysis
Fresh off the injured list, Lawlar used his glove, feet and bat to snap Arizona's three-game losing streak: he crashed into the wall, robbing Matt McLain of extra bases in the fourth inning, stole a base and scored the game-tying run in the sixth, and then delivered two insurance runs with a single in the ninth. Since Lawlar landed on the injured list in early April, the Diamondbacks added a pair of prospects to the outfield mix -- Ryan Waldschmidt and Tommy Troy -- and will soon get Lourdes Gurriel (hamstring) back from injury. Playing time will be an issue. "I know [there's curiosity] about what the playing time is going to look like," manager Torey Lovullo told Mike Petraglia of MLB.com following the game. "It's going to be very fluid. There's going to be three guys, four guys for two positions, going to be a little bit of a rotation. They're all going to play."

Activated, batting seventh Friday
The Diamondbacks reinstated Lawlar (wrist) from the 60-day injured list, and he is starting in center field and batting seventh Friday against the Reds.
Analysis
The 23-year-old landed on the injured list in early April due to a fractured wrist, but he's back with Arizona after posting a .736 OPS over an eight-game rehab assignment. Lawlar had a hot start to the year prior to the injury, going 6-for-20 with a homer, a double and a stolen base, and will look to pick up where he left off two months later.

Returning Friday
The Diamondbacks will reinstate Lawlar (wrist) from the 60-day injured list ahead of Friday's game against the Reds, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
Analysis
Lawlar has been on the shelf since early April due to a fractured right wrist. He was cleared to begin a rehab assignment May 30 and has since gone 6-for-28 with four walks, two RBI and five runs scored over eight games. Once activated, he'll be a candidate to start in the outfield until Lourdes Gurriel (hamstring) returns from the IL.

Rehab moves to Triple-A
Lawlar (wrist) moved his rehab to Triple-A Reno on Thursday and played consecutive games for the Aces. He went a combined 3-for-7 with two doubles, a triple and an RBI.
Analysis
Lawlar played a full nine innings in center field Thursday and eight innings in left field a day later. He's had a combined 21 plate appearances between the ACL and Triple-A, but the Diamondbacks haven't made public a prescribed number of plate appearances for Lawlar, who has been out since early April. That he played the field on consecutive days is a positive sign that Lawlar could return within a week.
