Groover Sent Down, Tawa Steps Up | Phoenix News

Arizona Diamondbacks surprise fans by optioning rookie infielder LuJames Groover to Triple-A Reno ahead of their series finale, as his MLB stint has been hampered by poor hitting and limited playing time. Groover, once a promising contact hitter and solid defender, is now hitting much better in Reno with a strong slash line. His spot opens the door for utilityman Tim Tawa, who brings defensive versatility and is crushing it in Triple-A despite struggling offensively in the majors. Manager Torey Lovullo’s “riding the hot hand” philosophy seems to favor Tawa’s recent Triple-A surge and his ability to play multiple positions. The move gives Groover a fresh start in Reno while adding valuable depth to the Diamondbacks’ roster — a strategic shuffle that balances development and immediate utility.
