Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a run scored Monday in the Diamondbacks' 5-1 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Ahmed's two-hit night put an end to a 4-for-44 skid over his previous 13 games. Though he's valued mostly for his excellent defense at shortstop, Ahmed has still been a major disappointment this season from an offensive standpoint. After delivering OPSes over .700 in each of the past four seasons, Ahmed is currently sitting on a .565 mark through 222 plate appearances in 2021.

Ahmed went 4-for-5 with two doubles and an RBI in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Ahmed is putting an abysmal start to the season behind him, as the shortstop has heated up since late May. He was batting just .187 as of May 23, but since then is 14-for-34 (.412) over nine games and up to .236 for the season.

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Ahmed has been under .200 for much of the season, but the shortstop crossed that threshold after a stretch that includes three multi-hit games among his last six. He's 8-for-22 (.364) with four extra-base hits during that span.

Ahmed went 2-for-3 with two doubles and a walk as Arizona fell 8-0 to San Francisco on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Ahmed did his part on the evening, reaching base in each of his first three plate appearances with doubles in the second and sixth and a walk in the fourth though Arizona was ultimately shutout. Ahmed has a reputation as a defense-first shortstop, but he may need to perform better than his current .198/.298/.294 slash line to keep his role on a Diamondbacks team looking toward the future.
