EDGE Analysis

Ahmed was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday, and he'll bat seventh during his season debut Saturday. The 31-year-old slashed .266/.327/.402 with five home runs, 29 RBI and four stolen bases in 57 games during the 2020 campaign and should serve as the everyday shortstop for Arizona going forward.

Ahmed (knee) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed dealt with right knee inflammation late in spring training that forced him to miss the start of the regular season, but he'll be eligible to make his season debut early as Saturday. Ahmed should take over as the Diamondbacks' everyday shortstop once again now that he's healthy.

Ahmed (knee) is expected to be activated off the injured list this weekend, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Diamondbacks welcomed back Kole Calhoun on Friday and could get another regular back if Ahmed is deemed ready. Josh Rojas has been filling in at shortstop, but after an 0-for-4 on Friday, he's batting just .074.

Ahmed (knee) will hit in the cage soon, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed is dealing with knee inflammation and already received a platelet-rich plasma injection during spring training, so it sounds like a pain management issue. Prior to landing on the injured list, he said he hoped the injury would not linger all season, but that seems like a possibility. In the meantime, top prospect Geraldo Perdomo is handling the work at shortstop.

Ahmed landed on the 10-day injured list with right knee inflammation Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed broke camp on the big-league roster despite battling a sore knee for most of March. He failed to appear in either of the team's first two games, however, and he'll now be out for at least another week. It's not clear when exactly he's expected to return. Geraldo Perdomo was recalled in a corresponding move, though it will be Josh Rojas who starts at shortstop for the third straight game Saturday against the Padres.

Ahmed (knee) is likely headed to the injured list, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Arizona is promoting its shortstop of the future, Geraldo Perdomo, from the minors in what is expected to be a short-term stay while Ahmed gets right physically. On Friday, Ahmed said he hoped his knee soreness wouldn't linger all season, which was an ominous quote. He has already had a platelet-rich plasma injection, so it sounds like Arizona is trying everything it can to help Ahmed get right.

Ahmed, who is out of Friday's lineup against the Padres, said he hopes his knee issue won't linger all season, Jody Jackson of FOX Sports Arizona reports.

EDGE Analysis

He is not yet ready to make his season debut, as it sounds like Ahmed is hoping to get as healthy as possible before taking the field in an effort to get over the knee soreness that bothered him all spring. Ahmed received a platelet-rich plasma injection in late March, which is always an ominous sign. It seems likely that he will get into a game fairly soon, but it also seems possible that this knee issue could affect his performance this season.

Ahmed (knee) will remain on the bench Friday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed battled knee soreness throughout March but made the Opening Day roster, suggesting his season debut should be coming soon. Previous reports indicated that debut could come Friday, but if it does, it won't be happening at the start of the game. Josh Rojas remains the starter at shortstop in his absence.

Ahmed (knee) could make his season debut Friday, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed, who was hobbled by knee soreness for much of March, was unavailable for Opening Day in San Diego, but manager Torey Lovullo left open the possibility that Ahmed could play Friday. "We'll keep pushing it back 24 hours and keep having the same conversation," Lovullo said. Josh Rojas filled in at shortstop Thursday.
