Called up to San Diego Ahmed was called up by the Padres on Sunday.
Impact Ahmed is back in the majors and will provide infield depth in the absence of Mason McCoy, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with back inflammation. While Ahmed has been in the San Diego organization since Sept. 1, he never made an appearance with a minor-league affiliate and was instead working at the team's complex in Arizona. The former Diamondback has hit .232/.271/.300 in 69 games between the Dodgers and Giants this season.

Headed to free agency Ahmed elected free agency Thursday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Impact Ahmed was designated for assignment Monday and outrighted off the Dodgers' roster Thursday. Rather than accepting his assignment to Triple-A Oklahoma City, he elected free agency and will now be looking for a new opportunity around the league.
AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE
DFA'd by Dodgers Ahmed was designated for assignment by Los Angeles on Monday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Impact Ahmed has seen his playing time dwindle over the last few weeks, totaling only 24 at-bats so far in August. Following the return of Tommy Edman (wrist) and Max Muncy (oblique) from the injured list Monday, the club has elected to send the veteran shortstop to the waiver wire.
AUGUST 20 • ROTOWIRE
Fading into reserve role Ahmed is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Impact After signing a one-year contract with the Dodgers on July 24, Ahmed had started at shortstop in 11 of the club's ensuing 12 games, but he's faded into a reserve role following Miguel Rojas' return from the injured list Wednesday. Now on the bench for the third time in four contests, Ahmed could be a candidate to lose his spot on the roster once the Dodgers return the likes of Tommy Edman (wrist), Max Muncy (oblique), Chris Taylor (groin) and Mookie Betts (hand) from the injured list.

Clubs first homer as Dodger Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Thursday's 6-4 win over the Giants.
Impact Ahmed inked a major-league deal with the Dodgers on Wednesday and went 1-for-3 during his debut with Los Angeles. In his second game, Ahmed lifted a go-ahead home run in the eighth inning against his former team. Before being released by the Giants on July 11, Ahmed logged a .232 batting average with one homer, 15 RBI and 13 runs in 172 plate appearances.

Signs with Dodgers Ahmed signed a contract with the Dodgers on Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Impact Ahmed was released by the Giants on July 10 but will now find work in the Dodgers' infield as Miguel Rojas (forearm) heads to the IL. Ahmed slashed just .232/.278/.303 through 172 plate appearances during his time in San Francisco and will likely split reps at shortstop with Enrique Hernandez while Rojas is out.

Parts ways with San Francisco The Giants released Ahmed on Wednesday.
Impact Rather than remaining in the Giants organization and heading to Triple-A Sacramento after clearing waivers, Ahmed will test his luck on the open market. The 34-year-old still brings a reliable glove at shortstop, but he's never been anything more than a league-average hitter during his career and has taken a big step back in that regard over the past two seasons. Since the start of the 2023 season, Ahmed has hit just .221/.266/.303 (59 wRC+) in 382 plate appearances, so he's unlikely to be promised regular playing time at his next landing spot.
JULY 11 • ROTOWIRE
DFA'd by Giants The Giants designated Ahmed for assignment Tuesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact With Wilmer Flores (knee) and Thairo Estrada (wrist) both returning from the injured list Tuesday, Ahmed will be squeezed off the Giants' 40-man roster. The 34-year-old shortstop has slashed .232/.278/.303 in 172 plate appearances this season and would hold extremely little fantasy value if he were to be picked up by another team.
JULY 9 • ROTOWIRE
Regains regular role Ahmed will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Impact Ahmed will pick up his third consecutive start, with Sunday's assignment coming against a lefty (James Paxton) after the prior two had come versus right-handed pitching. Though he had previously been occupying a short-side platoon role at shortstop with Brett Wisely, Ahmed should have shortstop all to himself for the foreseeable future with Wisely having moved over to second base following Thairo Estrada's (wrist) placement on the injured list Friday.
JUNE 30 • ROTOWIRE
Losing work to Wisely Ahmed is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.
Impact Ahmed had served as the Giants' primary shortstop before landing on the injured list May 10 with a sprained left wrist, but he looks like he'll have to settle for a short-side platoon role now that he's healthy again. Since being activated Friday, the righty-hitting Ahmed has drawn two starts at shortstop -- both against lefties -- while the lefty-hitting Brett Wisely has occupied the position in two straight matchups with righties. Wisely has earned the larger portion of the timeshare at shortstop by slashing .313/.329/.478 over 23 games since being called up from Triple-A Sacramento.
