Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Fills in for injured Ahmed
Rotowire
Perdomo went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's spring game against the Rockies.
Perdomo was expected to start at shortstop while the Diamondbacks bring back Nick Ahmed slowly from last year's shoulder surgery. However, Ahmed is now experiencing inflammation in his forearm, which will shut down the shortstop for the next five days. There's no guarantee the absence is limited to that time frame, and Perdomo should pick up the majority of starts while Ahmed is unavailable. The two are expected to battle for the starting job, with Ahmed projected as the starter for now.

Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Homers in loss
Rotowire
Perdomo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to Cleveland.
Perdomo's ninth-inning blast was too little too late but made the final score more respectable. It was his fourth homer of the season and second in the last six games. All in all, it was a good day for the organization's youth movement: in addition to Perdomo's long ball, Alek Thomas homered and Daulton Varsho collected a pair of hits and stole a base. Those three will be center pieces of next year's roster and could be joined by Corbin Carroll at some point in 2023.
