Tim Tawa

26-Year-Old Second Baseman2B
Arizona Diamondbacks
2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Diamondbacks protected Tawa from the Rule 5 draft this winter, after the 25-year-old swatted 32 home runs with an .868 OPS between two minor-league stops in 2024. It should be noted that those numbers were heavily influenced by hitter-friendly parks in Amarillo and Reno. Tawa's value to the organization lay in his position versatility - he played every defensive position on the diamond except catcher - and as a right-handed bat for a lineup that leans lefty. He'll compete with the switch-hitting Ildemaro Vargas for a utility position during spring training. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Diamondbacks in March of 2025.
Fills in at third base Tuesday
2BArizona Diamondbacks
June 25, 2025
Tawa came off the bench in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the White Sox and went 0-for-3 with a run scored.
Analysis
Ildemaro Vargas drew the start at third base in place of Eugenio Suarez (hand), but Tawa was needed off the bench for the second straight game to replace an injured teammate. After filling in for Josh Naylor (shoulder) at first base in Monday's 10-0 win, Tawa entered Tuesday as a replacement for Ildemaro Vargas, who fractured his right foot. Vargas is likely to go on the injured list, while Suarez is expected to miss multiple days as he continues to deal with significant hand swelling, per Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com. In the interim, Tawa could be in line for a few starts at third base, but Arizona is also expected to recall infielder Blaze Alexander from Triple-A Reno to provide another option at the position.
