Tim Tawa News: Adds insurance

Tawa went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Mets.

Tawa gave the Diamondbacks a two-run cushion in the top of the ninth inning with his fifth home run. After swatting 32 home runs in two minor-league stops in 2024, Tawa has a combined eight through 25 games for Triple-A Reno and Arizona this season. It should be noted that Ketel Marte (hamstring) is with the D-backs on their road trip and could be activated for the weekend series in Philadelphia. Marte's return means fewer opportunities for Tawa and Garrett Hampson.
