GERALDO PERDOMO NEWS

Sitting against lefty Perdomo is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Marlins.

Impact The right-handed-hitting Nick Ahmed will handle shortstop duties and bat seventh with left-hander Trevor Rogers getting the start for Miami. Perdomo, a switch-hitter, should continue to cover short against righties.

Resting against lefty Perdomo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Perdomo has been the Diamondbacks' preferred option at shortstop in the early stages of the season, but he'll still likely sit regularly against left-handed pitchers like Milwaukee's Wade Miley. The righty-hitting Nick Ahmed will spell the lefty-hitting Perdomo in the series opener.

Starts at 2B Perdomo started at second base and went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 11-6 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Perdomo made his first start at second base, giving Ketel Marte his first day off while slotting in at second in the order, the highest he's hit this season. This was Perdomo's third multi-hit game in six starts. The second-year shortstop is 7-for-16 (.438) with four extra-base hits, eight RBI and four walks through seven overall appearances.

Drives in three runs Saturday Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and three total RBI in a 12-8 win against the Dodgers on Saturday.

Impact Los Angeles jumped out to an early four-run lead before Perdomo brought Arizona within a run with his two-run shot to right field in the second inning. The shortstop later doubled in a score in the seventh to provide the Diamondbacks with a four-run cushion. The second-inning long ball was Perdomo's first of the season, and he leads Arizona with seven RBI in just six games. Perdomo is slashing an impressive .455/.625/1.000 through 17 plate appearances.

Not starting Friday Perdomo isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup Friday against the Dodgers, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Perdomo has reached base safely eight times over 13 plate appearances this season, but will get a day off Friday against Clayton Kershaw. Nick Ahmed will take over for him at shortstop, batting seventh.

Walks twice, scores in loss Perdomo went 0-for-1 with two walks and a run scored in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact After leading off the sixth inning with a walk, Perdomo scooted home on Josh Rojas' double, giving him four runs scored over the last two games. He's also taken a team-high four walks through five games. The switch-hitting shortstop has been in the lineup against righties, while Nick Ahmed starts against southpaws. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo never stated shortstop as being a strict platoon, and the distribution of playing time could be chalked up to bringing Ahmed along slowly after last year's shoulder surgery.

Delivers key run in win Perdomo went 1-for-1 with a walk, was hit by a pitch, stole a base, knocked in three runs and scored three runs in Tuesday's 8-6 win over San Diego.

Impact Arizona's offense came to life over the final four innings, including a four-run eighth in which Perdomo figured prominently. His drag bunt produced the game-tying run -- his team-leading fourth RBI -- and he reached base when first baseman Matt Carpenter mishandled the ball. Perdomo then stole second base and eventually scored on a Jose Herrera single. The Diamondbacks were aggressive on the base paths, taking extra bases and stealing five bags (attempting six), and produced eight runs on nine hits (two for extra bases) and seven walks. After an offensively sluggish five games, Tuesday's explosion may be a preview of how Arizona operates going forward. That's a brand of ball that favors Perdomo, who currently shares shortstop with Nick Ahmed.

Sitting against lefty Monday Perdomo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres.

Impact Perdomo has made two starts to Nick Ahmed's three through the Diamondbacks' first five games, but the former is still shaping up as the team's preferred option at shortstop. All three of the switch-hitting Perdomo's absences have come against left-handed pitchers, so the 23-year-old should see his playing time pick up once Arizona starts facing off against the righty-heavy rotations that the majority of teams deploy.

APRIL 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Make season debut Friday Perdomo started at shortstop and went 0-for-1 with a walk in Friday's 2-1 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Perdomo made his season debut after Nick Ahmed got the Opening Day start at short. The former was eventually removed in the eighth inning for pinch hitter Evan Longoria, who doubled and scored. Perdomo and Ahmed will share shortstop but not necessarily as a strict right-lefty platoon.

Back in action Friday Perdomo (chest) is back in the Diamondbacks' Cactus League lineup Friday against the Rockies.

Impact Pedomo suffered a chest contusion as a result of a collision with Diego Castillo (neck) on Wednesday, but he seems fine. He's playing shortstop and batting ninth against Jose Urena.

MARCH 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could make quick return Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Perdomo (chest) could return to Arizona's lineup "in the next day or so," Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Impact Perdomo suffered a chest contusion after colliding with Diego Castillo (neck) during Wednesday's game against Milwaukee. Both players were removed from the game, but each of their injuries seem to be minor. Perdomo is slashing .261/.414/.435 with three RBI through 30 plate appearances this spring.

Suffers chest contusion Perdomo sustained a chest contusion during Wednesday's spring game, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Perdomo and Diego Castillo (neck) collided on the first play of the game and were removed after spending several minutes on the ground. It was later confirmed that Perdomo sustained a chest contusion, while Castillo is dealing with neck spasms.

MARCH 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Removed from game early Perdomo was forced to leave Wednesday's contest against the Brewers after colliding with Diego Castillo, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Impact The collision happened after Perdomo and Castillo both attempted to field a ground ball up the middle from Christian Yelich. Luckily, they each walked off the field under their own power, but the Diamondbacks will still take a look at them and provide an injury update shortly.

Fills in for injured Ahmed Perdomo went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's spring game against the Rockies.

Impact Perdomo was expected to start at shortstop while the Diamondbacks bring back Nick Ahmed slowly from last year's shoulder surgery. However, Ahmed is now experiencing inflammation in his forearm, which will shut down the shortstop for the next five days. There's no guarantee the absence is limited to that time frame, and Perdomo should pick up the majority of starts while Ahmed is unavailable. The two are expected to battle for the starting job with Ahmed projected as the starter for now.
