Ahmed went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Ahmed returned to action after missing one game due to a foot injury, one the Diamondbacks had implied wasn't a serious setback. The shortstop is hitting a career-high .269 while also generating a career-best .326 on-base percentage. The tradeoff for better hitting has been a drop in home runs -- he's hit four homers in 66 games after knocking 16 in 2018.

Ahmed (foot) is starting at shortstop and batting seventh Tuesday against the Phillies, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ahmed was lifted from Sunday's series finale due to a bruised left foot, but after sitting out Monday, he'll be ready to roll for the second contest of the series. He's slashing .268/.323/.407 with four homers, 25 RBI and four stolen bases through 65 games this season.

Ahmed (foot) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
The Diamondbacks are viewing Ahmed as day-to-day for the time being after he sustained a bone contusion in his left foot during Sunday's win over the Blue Jays. If Ahmed's foot fails to show much improvement after a day or two of rest, a stint on the 10-day injured list would become more realistic. Ketel Marte will spell Ahmed at shortstop in the first game of Arizona's East Coast road swing.

Ahmed isn't in Monday's starting lineup against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Ahmed has been struggling at the dish over his last three contests (1-for-12), so he'll get the night off with Walker Buehler set to toe the rubber for the visiting Dodgers. Ketel Marte gets the nod at shortstop and will hit fifth with Ahmed out of the mix.
