Lawlar’s AFL season ends with a fractured left scapula
One of the Arizona Fall League’s most promising prospects has cut his season short.
On a hit-by-pitch on Friday, No. 3 D-backs prospect Jordan Lawler shattered his left scapula and will be out for a minimum and maximum of six to eight weeks, according to Arizona director of player development Josh Barfield. The Arizona Republic broke the story on Monday night.
Before his injury, Lawlar was hitting.278/.469/.528 with two home runs, four steals, and 11 walks in 11 games with Salt River.
It’s the second shoulder problem for the 20-year-old shortstop since being drafted sixth overall out of a Texas high school in 2021. He had surgery to repair a posterior labrum rupture in the same left shoulder just one month after getting picked.
Lawlar recovered in time to begin his first entire season with Single-A Visalia and eventually advanced to Double-A Amarillo in 2022. In 100 games with four different D-backs affiliates, he hit.303/.401/.509 with 16 home runs and 39 steals. It meant his promotion to the Fall League to make up for some of the time missed due to a benign growth in his right rib, which required a rehab stint in the Arizona Complex League.
Lawlar is ranked as MLB.com’s No. 12 overall prospect, a shortstop and right-handed bat. He can develop five abilities that are above ordinary to plus. Once healthy, he’ll continue to play a significant role in the youthful and growing Arizona organization, including No. 3 overall prospect Corbin Carroll, No. 2 overall choice Druw Jones, and Minor League strikeout leader Brandon Pfaadt in 2022. He’s anticipated to be ready for Spring Training.
