Ahmed (wrist) is slated to take batting practice in the coming days, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed has been sidelined since early may with a left wrist sprain but is almost ready to test things out with some BP. It's not clear whether the Giants will ask Ahmed to go out on a rehab assignment before being activated, but it seems likely. Marco Luciano has been filling in at shortstop.
