Ahmed was 0-for-1 with a walk on Opening Day before being pinch hit for in the eighth inning in a 5-4 loss to the Giants. He was also hit by a pitch. Reaching base twice from the eighth spot in the batting order against San Francisco ace Madison Bumgarner will keep Ahmed in the DBacks good graces. Ahmed is expected back at shortstop Tuesday for the Diamondbacks when they face Ryan Vogelsong.
