Tawa Rising, Groover Down | MLB News

The Diamondbacks are making a bold move, calling up power-hitting infielder Tim Tawa from Triple-A while sending down LuJames Groover — hoping Tawa’s hot bat can spark production at key positions, especially first base. Manager Torey Lovullo is riding the hot hand, slotting Tawa into a start at third to give veteran Nolan Arenado a well-earned day off before a grueling road trip. Groover’s headed back to Reno to fine-tune his swing and adjust to playing less frequently — with the goal of being even sharper for his next call-up. With Eduardo Rodriguez on the mound against the Brewers, Arizona is counting on Tawa’s versatility and bat to turn things around — and fans are already buzzing.
