Ahmed went 3-for-4 with three runs scored, one RBI, a walk and two stolen bases in Monday's 12-8 victory over Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed entered Monday's game batting just .137 before producing his first multi-hit effort of the season. His two stolen bases were also his first of the season. The 30-year-old is sporting a pedestrian .553 OPS with just two extra-base hits across 61 plate appearances.

Ahmed went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed slugged his second long ball of the season in the ninth inning, but the game was well out of hand by then. His hard contact rate is down and groundball rate is up, but the shortstop continues to dig out of an early-season slump. Ahmed's 5-for-20 over the last six games after batting .065 over the first 10 contests.

Ahmed went 1-for-3 in Friday's 3-0 loss to San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed is slowly digging himself out of a slow start. He's hit safely in four straight contests after starting the season 2-for-31 (.065).

Ahmed went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 14-7 win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed went deep in the fifth inning off Astros reliever Nivaldo Rodriguez. It's the first homer of the year for Ahmed, who is hitting just .105 with two RBI and two runs scored through 12 contests. He regularly bats ninth in the lineup and hasn't done enough to warrant fantasy attention in 2020.

Ahmed went 1-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday's loss against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed is having a disappointing season, as he has recorded just three hits -- all singles -- in his first 34 at-bats, good for a paltry .088 average. He shouldn't be targeted in any formats until he finds a way to turn things around.

Ahmed returned to the lineup Saturday and went 0-for-3 in an 11-2 loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed was given a night off to reboot Friday after going 2-for-24 over the first seven games. He's had an impact bat as a shortstop the last two seasons, but that bat's been nowhere to be found amid the team's early offensive slump. Ahmed is slashing .071/.161/.071 with one run and zero RBI.

Ahmed is out of the lineup Friday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed started each of Arizona's first seven games at shortstop but struggled significantly at the plate, grabbing just two hits. Ketel Marte slides to shortstop in his absence, with Ildemaro Vargas starting at second base.

Ahmed went 0-for-3 with a walk in Sunday's 4-3 win over San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed's ninth-inning walk was the first time he reached base safely this season. Arizona's nine-hole hitter is 0-for-9 through the first three games, a slow start for the shortstop who belted 35 home runs and drove in 152 runs over the last two seasons.

Ahmed went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's spring game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed, who hit a career-high 19 home runs in 2019, cranked out his first spring home run. The Diamondbacks made the soon-to-be 30-year-old shortstop a wealthier man during the offseason, inking Ahmed to a four-year extension. It's a payday earned by his improvements at the plate. All the advanced metrics (wRC+, contact rates, plate discipline, hard-hit percentage, barrels, etc.) indicate the improved bat is for real.

Ahmed agreed to a four-year extension with Arizona on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed will make at least $32.5 million over the course of the deal, with the potential for more in incentives, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports. The shortstop had been scheduled to reach free agency after the 2020 season, so the deal buys out three extra years and keeps him under club control through his age-33 season. He's never had an above-average batting line, but his .254/.316/.437 line last season was good for a 92 wRC+, an acceptable figure for a player with a strong defensive reputation at shortstop.
