Ahmed will sit Saturday against San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed has accomplished very little at the plate this season, hitting .212/.271/.302 with a single homer in 64 games. The 31-year-old sits for the second time in three games Saturday and could potentially see his role diminish going forward, with the 21-56 Diamondbacks incentivized to test out some younger options, though the fact that he's under contract through 2024 may give him the opportunity to work through his struggles on the field. Josh Rojas will be the shortstop Saturday.

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 11-5 loss to San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed, who has multiple hits in two of the last three games, is fighting out of a second prolonged slump in 2021. He hit .073 (3-for-41) over a 12-game stretch to start the season, then put up identical numbers over the same number of games from June 5-20. The shortstop is slashing a disappointing .212/.271/.302 over 230 plate appearances.

Ahmed is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Josh Rojas will fill in at shortstop for Ahmed, who appears to be receiving a routine breather for the day game after a night game. Ahmed had started in each of the Diamondbacks' previous six games, going 3-for-19 with a pair of runs.
