He hasn't been a standout in any one aspect, like last season's 16 home runs, but he has been a modest contributor across the board from the shortstop position. Ahmed is slashing .269/.322/.428 with nine home runs, 44 RBI, six stolen bases and 51 runs scored.

EDGE Analysis
Ahmed sustained the injury after getting hit by a pitch in the third inning Thursday.
