2026 Fantasy Outlook
Locklear destroyed Pacific Coast League pitching while at Triple-A Tacoma last season, slashing .316/.401/.542 with 19 home runs and 18 stolen bases over 98 contests. He had to wait until late July before being promoted, however, and was then immediately shipped to the Diamondbacks in the Eugenio Suarez trade. Locklear's first impression in Arizona was not a good one. He put up a .529 OPS with a 37.1 percent strikeout rate in 31 games and then tore his left shoulder labrum and left elbow UCL on a collision at first base, which required season-ending surgery. Locklear's timeline to return is fuzzy, but he's not expected to be ready Opening Day. The 25-year-old still has long-term potential at first base, but his uncertain injury status and poor production so far in the majors have his 2026 prospects looking dire. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Diamondbacks in March of 2026.
Embarking on rehab assignment
The Diamondbacks assigned Locklear (elbow) to a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League on Saturday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
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.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Locklear got his first taste of the big leagues last season but looked overmatched in his brief time with the big club, striking out at more than a 40 percent rate in 49 plate appearances. Contact has not been a major issue for Locklear in the minors with a 22.6 percent strikeout rate, so that number should stabilize over time. Locklear doesn't seem to need any more seasoning after slashing .272/.382/.468 with 16 homers in 111 contests between Double- and Triple-A in 2024, but the Mariners don't appear ready to hand him a full-time job yet. Even if he has to bide his time back in the minors for a while longer, Locklear remains an intriguing power bat who should get his opportunity in Seattle eventually.
