Ahmed is sitting Thursday after going 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a run, and stealing his first base of the season Wednesday against the Marlins. Ahmed is batting .389 over his last 18 at-bats, but still hasn't gotten to the positive side of the Mendoza line. If he could get on base a bit more often he could be produce double digits in steals, but since he has struggled he hasn't been able to take advantage of his speed. The day off is just routine as manager Chip Hale continues to look for opportunities to get playing time for everyone in a crowded infield.
