Tyler Locklear went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in the Diamondbacks 10-6 win over the Cardinals on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Locklear was inserted into the starting lineup late after Ketel Marte was a late scratch. It paid off as he continued his recent hot streak since being called up. He put Arizona ahead for good with a two-run blast in the fourth inning.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Tyler Locklear will start at first base on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Locklear was called up from Triple-A earlier this week.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are expected to promote Tyler Locklear to the major league roster ahead of Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

With Tommy Troy (shoulder) landing on the injured list, Locklear will take his spot on the active roster. Locklear has slashed .313/.394/.502 with eight home runs across 211 at-bats at Triple-A Reno this season. He should see plenty of playing time with Arizona, splitting time between first base and designated hitter.

The Diamondbacks activated Locklear (shoulder/elbow) from the 10-day injured list Friday and optioned him to Triple-A Reno.

EDGE Analysis

Locklear has completed the rehab from his elbow and shoulder operations and homered in his first rehab game at Reno. However, with the emergence of Ildemaro Vargas at first base and Carlos Santana (thigh) also due back soon, Locklear will remain at Reno for now.

The Diamondbacks assigned Locklear (elbow) to a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League on Saturday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Locklear underwent surgery in October to repair the labrum in his left shoulder and a torn ligament in his left elbow. He opened the season on the 10-day injured list, and he has progressed enough in his recovery to start a rehab assignment. Once Locklear gets some reps in the ACL, the Diamondbacks should have a better sense of when the 25-year-old will be ready to return to the majors. He appeared in 31 games for the Diamondbacks in 2025 and slashed .175/.267/.262 with three steals, three home runs and six RBI over 116 plate appearances.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Locklear (elbow) is taking live at-bats and "trending in a positive direction," Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lovullo said the club may take another image of Locklear's elbow to ensure there are no setbacks as he takes the next steps. A rehab assignment will certainly take place, at which point, the team will get a better idea of his return timeline.

The Diamondbacks placed Locklear (elbow) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Locklear was held out for the entirety of spring training while recovering from Oct. 16 surgeries to repair the labrum in his left shoulder and a torn ligament in his left elbow. He's not expected to be ready to return from IL until around mid-May to early June.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Sunday that Locklear (shoulder/elbow) is trending toward a return around mid-May to early June, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Locklear will be a spectator for spring training while he continues to recover from Oct. 16 surgeries to address a torn labrum in his left shoulder and a torn ligament in his left elbow. Before suffering the two arm injuries in a Sept. 7 collision at first base with Boston's Connor Wong, Locklear slashed .175/.267/.262 with a 37.1 percent strikeout rate over 116 plate appearances with Arizona after coming over from Seattle in a trade-deadline deal. Locklear has a minor-league option remaining, so he could end up sticking around with Arizona's Triple-A affiliate in Reno once he completes his rehab process and gets activated from the injured list.

Locklear will undergo surgeries to repair his left labrum and a torn ligament in his left elbow Oct. 16, Alex D'Agostino of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Locklear's season ended in early September due to inflammation in his elbow, and now that he's received his diagnosis following a round of imaging, he will officially have to undergo multiple operations. It's unclear how long it will take for the 24-year-old first baseman to recover, but he is expected to return at some point during the 2025 campaign. A more accurate timeline may emerge after he goes under the knife.

Locklear (elbow) will miss the remainder of the season, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Left elbow inflammation sent Locklear to the injured list Monday, and it seems the Diamondbacks have already decided to keep him shut down for the rest of the season. The 24-year-old first baseman is slated for further imaging to determine the extent of his injury, and there's a chance he may go under the knife to address the issue. He'll finish 2025 with a .175/.267/.262 slash line through 116 MLB plate appearances alongside three home runs, six RBI, 11 runs scored and three stolen bases. With Locklear sidelined, Ildemaro Vargas is the favorite to take over as Arizona's first baseman for the rest of the year.
