Arizona Diamondbacks infield prospect Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) is expected to miss multiple weeks with his latest hamstring injury, according to manager Torey Lovullo. The former first-rounder had been placed on the 7-day IL after being removed from a game on June 25. Lawlar was hitting well at Triple-A all year, slashing .319/.410/.583 with 10 home runs and 18 stolen bases, but now it appears he’ll be out until August. The D-backs’ top-ranked prospect dealt with hamstring injuries last season as well, and was limited to just 14 games between Double and Triple-A, so the team won’t look to rush him back, especially without an opening on the big league roster. The 22-year-old dropped 10 spots on MLB.com’s latest refresh list, but there is still 20/20 potential here whenever he’s finally able to get regular major league at-bats.–Jarod Rupp
