The Arizona Diamondbacks have a long list of injured players they are hoping to get back to help them with the stretch run. As reported earlier today, one of those names had to be scratched off the list, as left-handed reliever A.J. Puk will not return this season. But there was an encouraging update regarding Jordan Lawlar, who is recovering from a hamstring injury. Torey Lovullo Gives Details on Jordan Lawlar's Return ScheduleLawlar has played in two rehab games with Double-A Amarillo already, and will play in two more on Friday August 7 and Saturday August 8. The plan is to then send him to join the Triple-A Reno Aces who will play in Tacoma the following week, starting Tuesday August 11. Lovullo was asked if Lawlar could be eligible to join the team on their upcoming road trip to Atlanta August 14. "Yeah, I want to think so," the manager said. "We're getting very close with him, and he's been battling injuries on and off now for a couple of years. If we've got to wait a couple extra days, let's make sure that he's healthy and feels right."He's feeling really good. The fact that he's playing back-to-back games day off and then back-to-back games again tells me a good story. But let's let him test that [hamstring] out a little bit. I don't know what it looks like beyond tomorrow, but we'll see possibly on the road trip sometime."Based on Lovullo's comments then it's clear that Lawlar is still at least seven days away from returning, barring any setbacks of course.
