The D-backs plan to have top prospect Jordan Lawlar primarily play in the outfield in 2026, moving him away from the infield due to a crowded lineup featuring Nolan Arenado at third and Geraldo Perdomo at shortstop. Lawlar has struggled in the majors but excelled in Triple-A, prompting Arizona to open up opportunities in the outfield. The trade of Blaze Alexander also clears a path for Lawlar while fortifying the bullpen with Kade Strowd. With ongoing searches for additional pitching and positional depth, the D-backs are focusing on improving their roster.
