Ahmed went 1-for-2 with two walks, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed returned to the lineup after a one-day breather and delivered one of three two-out RBIs during Arizona's four-run third inning. It was just his second hit over the last 24 at-bats. The shortstop was scalding when he first came off the injury list, notching three home runs and two doubles while hitting .348 over his first 23 at-bats, but he has gone the other way since.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed will get a breather after he went 1-for-11 with a run, an RBI and a strikeout over the last three games. Geraldo Perdomo will start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Ahmed went 0-for-3 in Friday's 4-1 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed initially tore it up after being activated off the injury list, going 8-for-23 (.348) with three home runs, but he's now hitless over 13 consecutive at-bats and hitting .235. He remains the team's primary shortstop, but there will be a rotation of sorts among four players in the infield. Josh Rojas and Geraldo Perdomo can play three positions, while Ahmed and second baseman Ketel Marte will get occasional days off to maintain health.

Ahmed is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Diamondbacks and Marlins are wrapping up their series with a day game after a night game, so Ahmed will be extended a breather on getaway day.

Ahmed went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and three strikeouts in Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed has hit safely in five of seven games since returning from a shoulder injury. He's homered in three of the last four contests, though each one has been a solo shot. The shortstop has added four RBI, four runs scored and a pair of doubles in 23 plate appearances. Ahmed figures to see a majority of the playing time at shortstop, at least until Josh Rojas (oblique) returns.

Ahmed went 2-for-3 with a solo homer Saturday against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Ketel Marte broke a scoreless tie with a solo shot to lead off the top of the eighth inning, and Ahmed repeated the feat two batters later to chase Miles Mikolas from the game. The homer was Ahmed's second of the season in just six games. He's swung a hot bat since returning from a shoulder injury, slashing .368/.368/.789.

Ahmed will sit Friday against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed sits for the third time in eight games since his return from a shoulder injury last Friday. He's gone 5-for-16 with a homer and a pair of doubles but will sit here in favor of Geraldo Perdomo.

Ahmed went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed took Julio Urias yard in the fifth inning to record his first homer of the season. He was sidelined by a shoulder injury for the first two weeks of the campaign, and he's been in the lineup in four of six games since. Ahmed has been a light hitter throughout his career, though he does have two extra-base hits in only 12 plate appearances to begin his 2022 season.
