Ahmed is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

With Ahmed out of the lineup, Jean Segura will move to shortstop and Phil Gosselin will cover second base. Ahmed, who's 7-for-16 over the last seven days, will likely return to the lineup Friday when Arizona faces Johnny Cueto and the Giants.

Ahemd is in the lineup Monday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

With Ahmed starting at shortstop, Jean Segura will move over to second base and Brandon Drury will have the night off. Ahmed's performance has been underwhelming as of late, as he's hitting just .214 over the last 14 days.

Ahmed is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed will effectively sit for the third time in four games, giving way to Jean Segura at shortstop with Brandon Drury at second. A .576 OPS simply isn't cutting it for Ahmed, so look for him to continue to lose playing time until he shows signs of turning things around (if he even gets that chance).

Ahmed is out of the lineup again Friday against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed got the day off Thursday and will be out of the lineup again Friday, as Jean Segura will leadoff at shortstop and Phil Gosselin is stationed at second. Throughout the 2016 season, Ahmed is batting .211/.258/.313 with four home runs and 19 RBI.

Ahmed went 3-for-4 with a solo homer in Saturday's 4-1 victory over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old did his damage out of the bottom of the order, tallying his second multi-hit game of the month, with the first one also having been a three-hit effort back on June 10. Ahmed is still struggling at the plate overall but is picking it up a bit this month, now slashing .261/.271/.413 over 46 at-bats. His homer also represented the first time he'd gone deep since way back on April 13.

Ahmed is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

The light-hitting Ahmed will get a regular day off after starting three straight, allowing Chris Owings to take over at shortstop, effectively opening up a spot for Michael Bourn in center field. Ahmed is hitless in his last 12 plate appearances, so the timing was right to make a switch in an effort to inject some offense into a lineup that will be facing ace Jake Arrieta on Sunday afternoon.

Ahmed is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

After starting the last four games, Ahmed will get the day off as the Diamondbacks go with Chris Owings at shortstop, while Michael Bourn takes over in center field. Owings will bat seventh against the Astros' Lance McCullers.

Ahmed is in the lineup Wednesday after taking a pitch to the jaw on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed left Tuesday's game, as did fellow middle infielder Jean Segura, who took a pitch to the head. While Segura will sit out at least Wednesday, Ahmed will get right back in there, starting at short and batting leadoff.

Ahmed left Tuesday's game after getting hit by a pitch in the jaw.

EDGE Analysis

The team will release more information after he undergoes tests. Jean Segura also left after getting hit in the head by Arquimedes Caminero, who had no idea where the ball was going during his mop-up work Tuesday, so the Diamondbacks could be stretched pretty thin if Ahmed and Segura have to miss a game or two.

Ahmed is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

As good as Ahmed is defensively, he's been so bad offensively that it's negated his impact with the glove. The 26-year-old is now batting .188/.247/.297 on the season following an 0-for-3 showing Wednesday. Chris Owings will replace him at shortstop for Friday's game.
