Torey Lovullo updates status of Jordan Lawlar after hit-by-pitch incident

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo reported a positive update on outfielder Jordan Lawlar following his exit from Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs after being struck by a pitch. The incident occurred during the eighth inning when a fastball from Cubs reliever Daniel Palencia hit Lawlar's helmet. Lovullo confirmed that Lawlar passed all concussion protocols and is expected to play in the next game. This is especially significant as Lawlar recently returned from a hamstring injury. The Diamondbacks secured victory against the Cubs later that night, gaining ground in the National League wild-card race.
