Tawa came off the bench in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the White Sox and went 0-for-3 with a run scored.
AnalysisIldemaro 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.
