Ahmed (hand) has yet to do any hitting activity and remains limited to conditioning work, Alex Simon of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ahmed has worked on strengthening his grip again after undergoing surgery to repair his fractured right hand back in June, but he's still dealing with too much discomfort to take hacks at the plate. The shortstop isn't eligible to return from the 60-day DL until Aug. 28, so the lack of progress in the rehab process up to this point shouldn't be viewed as a major concern just yet. Ahmed could see semi-regular starts in the middle infield once he rejoins the big club.

Ahmed (hand) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Ahmed was shifted to the 60-day DL to clear room on the roster for Adam Rosales, who was acquired from the A's on Monday. He won't be eligible to return from the disabled list until August 28, while it remains unclear if he'll be ready by then.

Ahmed (hand) had three pins surgically removed from his hand Wednesday, Jody Jackson of Fox Sports Arizona reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ahmed is still experiencing some swelling in his hand, but this news at least means the rehabilitation progress can begin in earnest. The shortstop has been out since June 28 and isn't expected back until mid-August.

Ahmed (hand) had three pins placed in his hand Wednesday, and will miss 6-to-8 weeks.
EDGE Analysis
This moved Ahmed's expected return date into mid-August after the infielder suffered a small fracture in his right hand during Tuesday's game. Ahmed was struck by a pitch and he will have an extended absence away from the field while he recovers. The team called up shortstop Ketel Marte from Triple-A Reno to provide infield depth for the time being. There will likely be a clear timetable for his return by the end of the All-Star break.

Ahmed (hand) was officially put on the 10-day disabled list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Ahmed suffered a small fracture in his right hand when he was hit by a pitch during Tuesday's contest. It is unclear how much time the infielder will miss, but it's likely that he won't be ready to come back until after the All-Star break. In his place, the Diamondbacks called up Ketel Marte from Triple-A Reno.

Manager Torey Lovullo said Ahmed has a small fracture in his right hand, but will undergo further tests.
EDGE Analysis
Ahmed left Tuesday's game after he was hit by a pitch, and subsequent evaluations confirmed the difficult scenario. A trip to the disabled list appears to be on the horizon for the backup shortstop, meaning Daniel Descalso will assume that duty behind regular starter Chris Owings. Expect Ahmed to return sometime after the All-Star break, depending on what trainers deem to be the best course of recovery.

Ahmed exited Tuesday's game against the Cardinals early after being hit by a pitch in the wrist/forearm area, Jack Magruder of FanRagSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ahmed was 0-for-3 at the plate before being removed from the game in the bottom of the eighth inning after being pelted by a 99 MPH fastball from Trevor Rosenthal. Ahmed will likely undergo testing Wednesday, at which point we'll receive word on the severity of his injury.

Ahmed went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer, a walk and two runs against the Rockies on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
He got his piece of Arizona's 16-run Coors Field explosion by hitting his first homer since May 31. This was only Ahmed's ninth start among the team's 17 games in June, and he'd been awfully quiet over the prior eight. Most of his numbers are sitting at personal bests right now, but that doesn't mean they do much for fantasy owners except in deep formats.

Ahmed went 0-for-3 in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
With Yasmany Tomas (groin) on the disabled list, Chris Owings has seen increased reps in the corner outfield, which has opened up shortstop for Ahmed on a semi-regular basis. It was already the seventh start of the month for Ahmed, but after a hot May at the dish, the infielder seems to have cooled. He's collected six hits in 25 at-bats (.240) with only two runs and two RBI in June.

Ahmed went 3-for-4 with a triple and two RBI in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
After hitting a go-ahead homer in Wednesday's 14-inning win over the Pirates, Ahmed remained hot at the dish in the series opener Thursday, turning in his fourth multi-hit performance in five starts. No hit was more clutch than Ahmed's two-run single in the eighth inning, which gave the Diamondbacks the lead for the first time in the game. Ahmed was starting at shortstop with Chris Owings receiving the day off, but because Owings is capable of playing second base or the corner outfield, manager Torey Lovullo can still find a way to keep Ahmed's bat in the lineup so long as he continues to sizzle.
