The Diamondbacks have selected first baseman Luken Baker’s contract to fill the roster spot of Carlos Santana, who has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right adductor. To accommodate Baker on the 40-man roster, outfielder Jordan Lawlar has been transferred to the 60-day IL due to a wrist fracture. Baker, who has excelled in Triple-A with a .259/.371/.555 line, offers a right-handed option at first base amid several injuries. His limited big league experience raises questions about future roster decisions as other injured players return.
