Ahmed is out of the Diamondbacks' lineup Wednesday against the Giants. Ahmed, who went 1-for-5 with two strikeouts, a walk and a HBP in the team's first two games, will sit as Cliff Pennington takes over at short and bats eighth against Chris Heston. While Ahmed is the primary option at short, manager Chip Hale has done a fair amount of juggling with his lineup in the early going and that figures to continue moving forward.
