Ahmed went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed was the lone player on either team to reach base three times in a game that was a pitching duel between Arizona's Luke Weaver and San Diego's Chris Paddack. He came around to score the Diamondbacks' lone run in the third. It was the 25th run of the season for Ahmed, who ranks third on the team in the category behind Eduardo Escobar and David Peralta.

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Six of Ahmed's last eight hits have gone for extra-bases. Sunday's double was his 13th, ranking him seventh in MLB. He's sacrificed the flyball approach that enabled him to hit 16 home runs in 2018 but has maintained a higher batting average (.255), slugging percentage (.416) and OPS (.717) with an approach focused on line drives and groundballs.

Ahmed is not in the lineup Sunday against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed sits for just the second time all season. Ketel Marte will handle shortstop in his absence.

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed took Colorado starter Kyle Freeland deep in the second inning for his first extra-base hit in the last six games. His OPS sits at a pedestrian .724 through 133 plate appearances.

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs in an 11-2 victory against the Pirates on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran shortstop was hitting just .167 in the five games prior to Wednesday, and he didn't have a single extra-base hit during that stretch. A strong start to the year, though, has kept Ahmed's numbers at more than respectable levels. He doesn't walk much and the lack of homers has capped his slugging percentage, but Ahmed is slashing .269/.300/.409 with nine extra-base hits, 11 RBI, 18 runs and two steals this season.

Ahmed is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Ketel Marte will shift over to shortstop while Ahmed heads to the bench for the first time all season. As was the case in the first month of 2018, Ahmed is off to a respectable start at the plate to begin the campaign, batting .271 with seven extra-base knocks in 75 plate appearances.

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed hit his sixth double and collected a fifth multi-hit game over 15 games, but couldn't deliver in the most crucial moment with the bases loaded in the seventh inning. His sharp comebacker was expertly handled by Padre reliever Trey Wingenter, who initiated a 1-2-3 double play. Ahmed continues to hit, slashing .310/.323/.466, but remains in the lower-third of a Diamondbacks batting order that has cooled off since a hot first week.

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The shortstop already has five doubles in 11 games to start the season, but Tuesday's blast off Mike Minor was Ahmed's first long ball. The 29-year-old is off to a fine .326/.340/.512 start at the plate, but his career .650 OPS indicates he'll cool off fairly quickly.

Ahmed went 3-for-4 with two doubles and three runs scored in Friday's 15-8 win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The slugging Diamondbacks continued to bash through the early stages of the season. Arizona ranks third in runs (56) and leads in slugging (.578). Ahmed, who's hit safely in seven of eight games, has contributed five extra-base hits, five RBI and a team-high eight runs to the mix while hitting in the lower third of the order.

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed's contributions at the dish were mitigated by an eighth-inning error that keyed Los Angeles' come-from-behind win. That's unlike Ahmed who won a Gold Glove in 2018. He's played all four games thus far, knocking a pair of doubles and driving in three.
