Geraldo Perdomo Injury News & Updates

Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Giants.

Perdomo's second-inning double must have felt good. It was the shortstop's first hit since Sept. 7, a span of 25 at-bats without one. He's the strongside of a platoon with rookie Jordan Lawlar, both of whom are struggling during September. Perdomo is batting .119 (5-for-42) and Lawlar is at .150 (3-for-20) for the month.

Perdomo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Perdomo is in the midst of a 0-for-22 slump and will take a seat after starting the previous three games. Rookie Jordan Lawlar will handle shortstop and bat ninth.

Perdomo is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Mets.

Jordan Lawlar will start at shortstop and Emmanuel Rivera (shoulder) is back in action at third base. Perdomo has batted just .115 with a .439 OPS in 35 plate appearances since the calendar flipped to September.

Perdomo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

Even though the Diamondbacks recently released short-side platoon mate Nick Ahmed, Perdomo still looks as though he'll frequently hit the bench when Arizona faces southpaws. With lefty Jose Quintana on the hill for the Mets, the switch-hitting Perdomo will give way to the righty-hitting Emmanuel Rivera at third base.

Perdomo entered Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Cubs for an injured Ketel Marte (knee), played second base, and walked in his lone plate appearance.

Marte was hit by a pitch in the first inning but stayed in the game until the seventh when the knee stiffened on him. Perdomo is expected to return to the starting lineup Sunday and could play either middle infield position. Both Marte and shortstop Jordan Lawlar (hand) were hit by pitches and are considered day-to-day heading into the series finale.

Perdomo isn't in Arizona's lineup Saturday against the Cubs.

Perdomo will take a seat Saturday with southpaw Justin Steele on the mound for Chicago. Emmanuel Rivera will fill in at the hot corner and bat eighth while Perdomo rests.

Perdomo started at third base and went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Cubs.

Perdomo shifted from his normal shortstop position to make his second start of the season at third base, as shortstop prospect Jordan Lawlar was promoted and made his MLB debut. The switch-hitting Perdomo's been the primary starter at shortstop against right-handers, but that changed Thursday with the arrival of Lawlar. If the Diamondbacks continue to align as they did Thursday, then it's likely Perdomo will qualify as a corner infielder next season. In addition to two starts at the hot corner, he's also played parts of 11 other games at third base, either when he started at another position or entered a game late.

Perdomo is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Rockies.

Nick Ahmed will start at shortstop and bat eighth as the Diamondbacks go righty-heavy against left-hander Kyle Freeland. Perdomo has posted a solid .779 OPS versus righties this season, but he carries a .609 OPS versus lefties.

Perdomo is absent from the lineup Friday versus the Orioles.

Nick Ahmed will start at shortstop and bat eighth as the Diamondbacks matchup up against left-hander Cole Irvin. The switch-hitting Perdomo carries a .633 OPS in 54 plate appearances this year versus southpaws. He's put up a .786 OPS in 353 plate appearances versus righties.

Perdomo is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Nick Ahmed will play shortstop and bat eighth versus left-hander Clayton Kershaw after Perdomo logged four straight starts at the position while going 4-for-13 (.308) with two RBI and two runs scored.

Perdomo went 1-for-3 with two walks, one RBI, two stolen bases and one run scored in Friday's 10-8 win over the Reds.

Perdomo has gone 4-for-15 (.267) over nine games since his last multi-hit effort. His pair of steals Friday accounted for his first pilfers since Aug. 2. The shortstop is at a .270/.372/.402 slash line with 15 thefts, six home runs, 41 RBI, 55 runs scored, 19 doubles and three triples over 111 contests in a strong-side platoon role.

Perdomo is absent from the lineup Thursday against the Reds.

Nick Ahmed will start at shortstop and bat eighth with left-hander Brandon Williamson toeing the slab for Cincinnati. The switch-hitting Perdomo carries a .659 OPS in 52 plate appearances this year against southpaws. He has a .790 OPS in 338 plate appearances against righties.

Perdomo is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

Perdomo generally sits in favor of Nick Ahmed when a southpaw is on the mound for the opponent, and that will be the case Monday with left-hander Jordan Montgomery set to start for Texas.

Perdomo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

Though he's a switch hitter, Perdomo often sits against left-handed pitchers, so it comes as little surprise that he'll head to the bench Wednesday while southpaw Austin Gomber takes the hill for Colorado. Nick Ahmed will step in for Perdomo at shortstop and will bat seventh.

Perdomo went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Padres.

Perdomo hasn't done well in August, as this was his first multi-hit effort of the month. He's gone 7-for-30 (.233) over his last 11 contests. The shortstop is still seeing a starting role against right-handers, but he's been at the bottom of the lineup in his last two games. Perdomo has a .270/.371/.405 slash line with six homers, 38 RBI, 50 runs scored and 13 stolen bases over 100 contests, but it's tough to see him rebounding well enough to bump Corbin Carroll out of the leadoff spot.

Perdomo isn't in Arizona's lineup Saturday against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

With lefty Rich Hill set to start on the mound for the Padres, Perdomo will stay put in the D-backs' dugout. Nick Ahmed will fill in at shortstop and bat eighth.

Perdomo isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup Friday against the Padres.

After going 1-for-3 with a double during his last game Wednesday against the Dodgers, Perdomo will take a seat for Friday's series opener against San Diego. Nick Ahmed will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Perdomo's place.

Perdomo is down to the ninth spot in the lineup Wednesday versus the Dodgers.

Perdomo has mostly been hitting leadoff for the Diamondbacks here in the second half of the 2023 regular season, but he is 4-for-32 with zero extra-base hits in his last nine games and his season OPS has fallen from .813 to .760 in that span. Corbin Carroll will serve as Arizona's tablesetter Wednesday against Los Angeles.

Perdomo isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers.

The switch-hitting Perdomo has typically been held out of the lineup against southpaws this season, and the trend will continue for Tuesday's matchup against Julio Urias. Nick Ahmed will get the nod at shortstop and bat eighth.

Perdomo entered Sunday's game to play second base after Ketel Marte was removed due to a hamstring injury. Perdomo went 0-for-2 in a 5-3 loss to the Twins.

Perdomo finished off the road trip, which was rough for both himself and the team. After an extra-inning win over San Francisco to begin the trip, Arizona lost the final six games. Perdomo went 4-for-27 (.148) with one walk. He's already the club's primary shortstop, so if Marte's injury lingers past Monday's off day, Jace Peterson could fill in at second base when Arizona kicks off a homestand Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Perdomo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Perdomo will ride the bench in the series finale after he went 9-for-42 (.214 average) while starting in each of the past 10 games. Nick Ahmed will spell Perdomo at shortstop.

Perdomo went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Giants.

Perdomo did his part in the first inning, but that was the extent of his hitting contributions for the game. The shortstop is hitting .286 (16-for-56) since the All-Star break, though just four of those hits have gone for extra bases. He's at a solid .274/.380/.406 slash line with 13 steals, five home runs, 37 RBI and 48 runs scored over 91 contests this season. Perdomo continues to bat leadoff against right-handers while often sitting out versus southpaws in favor of Nick Ahmed.

Perdomo is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Cardinals.

Perdomo will take a seat after he went 2-for-6 with a triple, an RBI, two walks and two runs scored while starting the last two contests. Nick Ahmed will replace him at shortstop and bat seventh against St. Louis.

Perdomo will sit Saturday against Cincinnati, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

The switch-hitting shortstop has broke out to the tune of a .278/.385/.408 slash line (good for a 119 wRC+) this season, but the Diamondbacks have been hesitant to use him against lefties like Saturday's starter Brandon Williamson. Perdomo has only started three times against a southpaw all season, and he'll again turns the reins over to Nick Ahmed at shortstop Saturday.

Perdomo is absent from the lineup Wednesday at Atlanta.

Nick Ahmed will start at shortstop and bat eighth versus right-hander Charlie Morton and the NL East leaders. This looks to be a routine day of rest for Perdomo, who had two hits and two RBI in the Diamondbacks' 16-13 defeat of Atlanta on Tuesday night.

Perdomo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

A surprise All-Star this season -- he was named as an injury replacement for Dansby Swanson (heel) -- Perdomo will sit in favor of Nick Ahmed at shortstop with lefty Yusei Kikuchi on the mound for Toronto. The switch-hitting Perdomo has logged just 36 plate appearances against left-handed pitching this season. He's been leading off lately against opposing right-handers.

Perdomo went 3-for-4 in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Toronto.

Perdomo's three-hit effort came after a brutal stretch for the shortstop. He entered the game with just two hits over the previous 31 at-bats. The run of futility reached 32 at-bats before an infield single in the third inning. Much of those struggles came as Arizona's primary leadoff batter against right-handers; however, Perdomo maintains a respectable .274/.367/.310 line atop the order in 2023.

Perdomo went 0-for-2 with a walk, stolen base and run scored in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Pirates

Perdomo and Christian Walker worked a double steal in the first inning, and he raced home after a throwing error from Pittsburgh catcher Austin Hedges. It was his second straight game with a steal and fourth in 19 contests since being elevated to leadoff. He's done a much better job of getting on base in 2023 -- .378 OBP, up from .285 during his rookie 2022 season -- but that improved OBP far outpaces his .282 xwOBA.

Perdomo went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over Pittsburgh.

Perdomo swiped his 10th base in 73 games, surpassing the nine steals he had during his rookie 2022 season in 148 games.

Perdomo is not in the lineup Friday against the Pirates.

Perdomo has been an emerging everyday presence for the Diamondbacks this season and was just named as a replacement for the NL All-Star team, but he's quietly slumping at a 1-for-20 clip over his last seven games. Nick Ahmed will start at shortstop and bat eighth Friday versus Pittsburgh.

Perdomo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

The switch-hitting Perdomo is on the bench for the second game in a row, giving way to Nick Ahmed at shortstop on both occasions. With Perdomo having sat out against Angels southpaws Tyler Anderson and Reid Detmers, the 23-year-old appears as though he hasn't yet escaped a strong-side platoon role.

Perdomo is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Rays.

Nick Ahmed will start at shortstop for the first time since last Thursday and Jake McCarthy will fill the leadoff role. Perdomo is sitting on a six-game hitting streak and boasts a strong .296/.396/.452 batting line across 240 total plate appearances this year.

Perdomo went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-4 win over Tampa Bay.

Perdomo batted leadoff for a 10th consecutive game and is riding a six-game hit steak. Since becoming the club's primary leadoff hitter, Perdomo is slashing .275/.362/.325 with six walks and two stolen bases.

Perdomo went 1-for-5 with an RBI and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Brewers.

Perdomo swiped second and third base in the eighth inning after a run-producing single but remained there when the next two batters struck out. The steals gave him nine over 60 games, the same number of thefts he had in 2022 over 148 contests.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Monday that Perdomo will remain the leadoff batter "for a little while," Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. "I want to stay with it and we'll see how it goes. We're just looking for somebody to see pitches and hand it off to the next group of guys."

Perdomo batted leadoff for the third straight game Monday and fourth time in the past six games. It's unclear if Lovullo plans to have Perdomo atop the order against both lefties and righties. The one time he batted leadoff against a lefty was when he started at second base for a resting Ketel Marte, who has been the primary leadoff batter against southpaws. Additionally, there's the desire to maintain a fresh Nick Ahmed, who normally starts at shortstop against lefties.

Perdomo started at second base, batted leadoff and went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 12-3 loss to Cleveland.

For the second straight game, Perdomo was atop the batting order against a right-hander, while Pavin Smith was dropped down to the six hole. The second-year shortstop has posted better numbers across the board and apparently will continue on as the leadoff batter against righties after Josh Rojas and Smith handled the role earlier. A note of caution, however, is Perdomo's .346 BABIP suggests a correction is coming. MLB's Statcast pegs him among the bottom one percent in expected average and slugging, as well as hard hit rate and average exit velocity.

Perdomo batted leadoff and went 0-for-4 in Saturday's 6-3 win over Cleveland.

Pavin Smith had recently been the preferred leadoff hitter against right-handers, but manager Torey Lovullo vaulted Perdomo from the lower third of the order to leadoff. It was the fourth time the young shortstop hit atop the order and the first time he failed to reach base. Perdomo is 7-for-16 with two walks as the Diamondbacks leadoff hitter. It's uncertain if Lovullo will continue to use Perdomo at leadoff, but his numbers in s short sampling have been better than Smith's.

Perdomo started at second base and went 3-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to Philadelphia.

The four times reaching base was a season high for Perdomo, who eventually came around to score on Christian Walker's three-run home run in the eighth inning. Perdomo filled in for Ketel Marte (back) at second base -- his sixth start there -- and also took his spot atop the batting order against lefty Ranger Suarez. Marte did appear in the game as a pinch hitter and could rejoin the starting lineup in Thursday's series finale.

Perdomo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

The switch-hitting Perdomo appeared to be moving out of a strict platoon role and into more of an everyday role a few weeks ago, but he'll now find himself on the bench for the second straight game while Detroit brings another southpaw (Joey Wentz) to the hill. Nick Ahmed will once again start at shortstop while Perdomo sits.

Perdomo will sit Saturday against the Tigers.

Perdomo is a switch hitter but has been used in a platoon role with Nick Ahmed at shortstop this season. Perdomo has started against all but two righties this season (occasionally filling in at second base with Ahmed starting at short) but has gotten the call just once against a lefty. With southpaw Matthew Boyd starting for the Tigers, Ahmed gets the start.

Perdomo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

With a. 855 OPS over 167 plate appearances on the season, the switch-hitting Perdomo has worked his way out of a strict platoon with Nick Ahmed, but the Diamondbacks will still hold Perdomo out of the lineup against left-handed pitching occasionally. Perdomo, who went 1-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-5 win, will give way to Ahmed at shortstop Wednesday while southpaw Patrick Corbin takes the hill for Washington.

Perdomo batted leadoff and went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and was caught stealing in Friday's 3-2 win over Atlanta.

Perdomo snapped an 0-for-13 skid when led off the home half of the first inning with an infield single and came around to score. This was the second time Perdomo slotted in at leadoff, but it doesn't look like it's a new home in the order for him, according to Michelle Gardner of the Arizona Republic. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said it was more about giving Pavin Smith and Josh Rojas a night off while keeping a left-handed bat atop the order.

Perdomo went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-2 win over Boston.

Perdomo led off the second inning by turning on a Tanner Houck four-seamer for his fifth home run. Perdomo's average against four-seam fastballs thus far is .362 compared to the .168 average he had as a rookie last season. The shortstop is slashing .304/.403/.522 through 41 games, much better than the .214/.333/.274 line he had at this point during his rookie year.

Perdomo isn't starting Friday against Boston.

Left-hander Chris Sale will start on the mound for Boston, so Perdomo will retreat to the dugout for Friday's contest. Nick Ahmed will fill in at shortstop for Perdomo and bat seventh.

Perdomo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Philadelphia.

The switch-hitting Perdomo has begun to wriggle his way out of his platoon at shortstop with the righty-hitting Nick Ahmed, as the former has started in each of the past six games, including Tuesday, when the Phillies brought southpaw Matt Strahm to the hill. Though Perdomo will give way to Ahmed with lefty Ranger Suarez on the bump for Philadelphia on Wednesday, Ahmed's chances to play regularly against southpaws could soon come to an end while he's maintaining a .204/.220/.245 slash line (22 wRC+) over 50 plate appearances in those matchups for the season. Perdomo, meanwhile, owns a 128 wRC+ and 158 wrC+ versus lefties and righties, respectively, and brings more speed to the table than Ahmed.

Perdomo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 13-3 loss to the Pirates.

At the time of the third-inning homer, Perdomo tied the game at one run apiece before Pittsburgh plated 10 runs over the next two frames. It was the fourth homer in 144 plate appearances for Perdomo, who hit five over 500 PAs in 2022. He's one of a few reasons for the Diamondbacks' strong start. Perdomo is hitting .326/.418/.547 and is not the easy out he was last year. He and Gabriel Moreno (.313/.341/.391) have shored up the bottom of the order for Arizona.

Perdomo went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, two runs scored and a walk in Monday's win over the Athletics.

Perdomo got the scoring started with a two-run blast in the second inning. He later added an insurance run in the fourth inning. The 23-year-old was stuck in a 1-for-19 slump since his last multi-hit game May 3. Perdomo improved his slash line to an impressive .341/.426/.545 with 11 extra-base hits and 20 RBI through 32 games.

Perdomo went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Marlins.

The shortstop has four steals on the season, but three of them have come in his last two games as he adds another element to his blistering start. Through 91 plate appearances, Perdomo is slashing .373/.460/.573 with two homers, 15 runs and 18 RBI, and while his .448 BABIP won't last, the 23-year-old appears to have locked down the starting job for Arizona -- a role that could belong to Perdomo for a while, as top prospect Jordan Lawlar seems to have hit a wall at Double-A.

Perdomo went 0-for-3 with two walks and two stolen bases in Sunday's 9-8 loss to the Nationals.

Perdomo has shown solid plate discipline with four walks over his last three games, but he's gone 0-for-5 in that span. His steals Sunday were his first since April 4. The shortstop is slashing .380/.470/.592 with two home runs, three thefts, 17 RBI and 15 runs scored through 87 plate appearances while playing in a strong-side platoon role. Nick Ahmed starts at shortstop versus southpaws.

Perdomo will sit Saturday against southpaw MacKenzie Gore and the Nationals.

13 of Arizona's first 33 games have come against lefties, and Perdomo has sat against every single one. As usual, Nick Ahmed will take over at shortstop in his absence.

Perdomo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

The Diamondbacks regularly withhold the switch-hitting Perdomo from the lineup versus southpaws, so his absence Wednesday comes as little surprise with lefty Andrew Heaney on the hill for Texas. Nick Ahmed will fill in for Perdomo at shortstop.

Perdomo went 3-for-5 with one home run, four RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's win over the Rockies.

Perdomo's 413-foot shot in the second inning broke the game open, giving Arizona a 7-0 lead. The shortstop is now on a four-game hit streak, and sports a 1.090 OPS through 21 games played this year. The 23-year-old has played well to start the year, a welcome sight for fantasy managers following his .195/.285/.262 slash line from last season.

Perdomo isn't starting Friday against the Rockies.

As the Rockies prepare to begin with lefty Kyle Freeland on the mound, Perdomo will take a seat Friday in favor of Nick Ahmed, who will start at shortstop and bat seventh.

Perdomo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Even though he's a switch hitter, Perdomo has typically sat out against left-handers throughout the season. That trend will continue Wednesday, as Perdomo cedes shortstop to Nick Ahmed with southpaw Ryan Yarbrough on the bump for Kansas City.

Perdomo batted leadoff and went 2-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Monday's 5-4 win over the Royals.

Perdomo, who typically hits out of the bottom third of the order, was in the leadoff position for the first time during his MLB career. The young shortstop has earned a chance to bat higher; Perdomo entered the game with a .381 average and .409 OBP over his last six games. He's currently second on the roster in OBP (.446) and walks (six).

Perdomo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

After turning in three straight starts in which he recorded exactly two hits while scoring a run in each of those contests, Perdomo fell back to earth in Saturday's 5-3 loss, going hitless in four at-bats. Nick Ahmed will get the nod at shortstop Sunday in his stead, but Perdomo still appears entrenched as the Diamondbacks' preferred option at the position when Arizona faces right-handed pitching.

Perdomo is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Marlins.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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 plating time could be chalked up to bringing Ahmed along slowly after last year's shoulder surgery.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Perdomo (chest) is back in the Diamondbacks' Cactus League lineup Friday.

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

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

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.

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

Perdomo and Diego Castillo (neck) collided on the first play of the game and eventually 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.

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

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.

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

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 at shortstop with Ahmed projected as the starter for now.

Perdomo isn't starting Saturday against the Giants.

Perdomo is in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak in which he's slashed .409/.440/.545 with a home run, four RBI, three runs, a stolen base, two walks and five strikeouts. He'll get a day off while Sergio Alcantara serves as the designated hitter and bats ninth.

Perdomo went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Astros.

After getting the day off Sunday, Perdomo returned to the lineup and crushed his fifth homer of the season, a 411-foot shot to right to tie the game at 1-1 before the Astros later broke the game open. The 22-year-old now has a five-game hitting streak during which he is 6-for-16 with three RBI and three runs scored. He is slashing .194/.284/.265 in 141 games this season.

Perdomo is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Perdomo started the past four games and will receive a day off after he went 5-for-17 with two RBI, two runs and a stolen base during that stretch. Sergio Alcantara will take over at shortstop and bat sixth.

Perdomo went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and two RBI in Saturday's 5-2 win over San Francisco.

Perdomo capped off the Diamondbacks' five-run fourth inning with a two-run single, then put himself in scoring position with his ninth steal of the season. The rookie has hit in four straight contests (5-for-14) but was hitting just .164 since the All-Star break prior to the four-game run.

Perdomo is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

Perdomo went hitless over his last six games, so manager Torey Lovullo decided to hold him out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's twin bill. Sergio Alcantara will start at shortstop in Perdomo's place.

Perdomo went 1-for-3 in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Dodgers.

Perdomo collected on of the three singles Arizona batters managed to produce in a second consecutive shutout. The young shortstop endured a brutal August, batting .137, but Perdomo has been better in September. The 22-year-old rookie is 8-for-27 (.296) in 12 games this month.

Perdomo is out of the lineup for Friday's game versus the Brewers.

Perdomo started the past seven games and will head to the bench after going 5-for-21 with four walks, six RBI, six runs and a stolen base during that span. Wilmer Difo, who was promoted from Triple-A Reno on Thursday, will take over at shortstop Friday.

Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Brewers.

Perdomo put a .137 average for the month of August behind him with Thursday's production, just his fourth multi-hit effort over 35 games since the All-Star break. The season has been a grind for the rookie shortstop, who took over the starting gig from Nick Ahmed (shoulder). He's hit below .200 in four of five months, although his defense has improved since a shaky beginning.

Perdomo went 2-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 10-5 victory over the White Sox.

Perdomo knocked in Christian Walker and Jake McCarthy on a second-inning single, then sent McCarthy home on another single in the eighth. Perdomo came around to score from third thanks to a heads-up play on a groundout. The shortstop has had a rough season, batting .191 on the year and .143 this month. He has gone 3 for his last 11, but went hitless in his prior 17 at-bats.

Perdomo isn't starting Wednesday against the Royals.

Perdomo started the last seven games and hit just .048 with two RBI, a stolen base, two walks and five strikeouts during that time. Sergio Alcantara is starting at shortstop and batting ninth.

Perdomo is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

Perdomo doubled and scored in Sunday's game, but that was the only hit he tallied over his last five games, so manager Torey Lovullo decided to hold him out Monday. Sergio Alcantara will start at shortstop in Perdomo's place.

Perdomo went 1-for-3 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Monday's 3-0 win over the Pirates.

Perdomo swiped second base and scored the go-ahead run after reaching base on an error in the sixth inning. He has two steals over the last three games, giving him five on the year. His slash line still sits at a pedestrian .201/.295/.280 with 41 runs scored through 98 appearances.

Perdomo is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Perdomo is 2-for-13 with a home run, four RBI, two runs and a stolen base through five games in August and will head to the bench Sunday. Sergio Alcantara will take over at shortstop in the series finale versus Colorado.

Perdomo went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base, two RBI and one run scored in Friday's 6-5 win over the Rockies.

Perdomo fought off a 3-2 cutter from Alex Colome and dumped it into right field, plating the game-tying and go-ahead runs in the bottom of the eighth. An inning later, he made a lunging play in the field to secure the win for Arizona. It was a hopeful sequence for the the young shortstop who batting average hovers around .200 and has a DRS of minus-6.

Perdomo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to Cleveland.

Perdomo's ninth-inning blast made the loss more respectable. It was his fourth homer of the season and second in the last six games. All in all, it was a good day for the organization's youth movement: in addition to Perdomo's long ball, Alek Thomas homered and Daulton Varsho collected a pair of hits and stole a base. Those three will be center pieces of next year's roster and could be joined by Corbin Carroll at some point in 2023.

Perdomo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.

Tuesday's game will be just the fifth Perdomo has not started since the start of June, but he could probably use a day off after going 3-for-22 (.136) over his last eight games. Sergio Alcantara will fill the shortstop spot in Perdomo's place.

Perdomo went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 5-2 loss to Atlanta.

Perdomo fifth-inning blast was his third of the season and first since June 15, snapping a span of 32 contests without a homer. The rookie shortstop has just 12 extra-base hits and is slugging .277 (.074 ISO) over 90 games.

Perdomo will sit out Wednesday's series finale versus the Giants.

Perdomo will take a seat after he went 1-for-6 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored over the first two games of the series. Sergio Alcantara will start at shortstop and bat eighth against San Francisco.

Perdomo went 2-for-3 with a walk, two runs and two RBI in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Rockies.

Perdomo has made a splash out of the bottom third of the lineup in both of the past two games, going 4-for-6 with two walks, five runs and two RBI between those contests. He'll look to stay hot while batting out of the No. 8 spot in the order in Sunday's series finale.

Perdomo went 2-for-3 with a walk and three runs scored in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Rockies.

Perdomo reached base safely three times and scored on all three occasions. The rookie shortstop has been fighting it the last three weeks. After an 0-for-27 stretch, Perdomo is 7-for-31 (.226) with a double, an RBI and six runs scored over the last nine starts.

Perdomo went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 9-3 win over the Rockies.

Perdomo has hits in two straight contests after experiencing a nasty nine-game slump during which the rookie was hitless over 27 at-bats. He also endured a 1-for-22 start to the season. Arizona coaches are not surprised by Perdomo's struggles against MLB pitching and have been working on the finer points of hitting when time permits, Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic reports. However, with Perdomo the everyday shortstop while Nick Ahmed (shoulder) is done for the season, he won't get a lot of downtime.

Perdomo will sit Tuesday against the Padres.

Perdomo sits after going hitless in his last nine games. Jake Hager will take over at shortstop.

Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI on Wednesday against the Reds.

Perdomo slugged a two-run homer in the second inning to record his second long ball of the season. He drove in another run on a single in the eighth inning to manage his third multi-RBI performance of the campaign. Despite his strong effort, Perdomo is hitting just .224 with 14 RBI and 20 runs scored across 192 plate appearances on the season.

Perdomo is expected to remain the starting shortstop for the immediate future after the Diamondbacks announced Nick Ahmed will undergo surgery on his shoulder, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

There's hope Ahmed could play again in 2022, so at the very least, the "immediate future" for Perdomo is most of the rest of the season. He's been the regular shortstop since Ahmed last played in a game May 15.

Perdomo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Perdomo will take a seat one day after smacking his first career home run while driving in a career-high five runs in the Diamondbacks' 14-8 loss. Jake Hager steps in at shortstop for Perdomo, who had started at the position in each of the last five contests.

Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a grand slam, an additional RBI and an additional run during Tuesday's 14-8 loss at Cincinnati.

Perdomo entered the contest with only five RBI in 48 games this season, but he doubled that total between the eighth and ninth innings Tuesday with a grand slam and an RBI single, respectively. It was also the first home run of his major-league career. The 22-year-old continues to operate as Arizona's primary shortstop with Nick Ahmed (illness/shoulder) on the injured list, though Perdomo's .223/.337/.302 slash line doesn't offer much fantasy upside.

Perdomo went 1-for-3 with a walk in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Pittsburgh.

Perdomo continues to see the bulk of time at shortstop with Nick Ahmed (illness) on the injured list. He will continue to hold down the position after the Diamondbacks announced Ahmed, who had been rehabbing from COVID-19, will be shut down due to shoulder soreness. Perdomo is slashing .210/.300/.274 over 19 games since Ahmed was added to the injured list May 16.

Perdomo isn't starting Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Perdomo is riding an 11-game on-base streak in which he's slashed .250/.302/.350 with a triple, two doubles, two runs and an RBI. Jake Hager will take over at shortstop and bat eighth Wednesday.

Perdomo went 1-for-3 with a triple and an RBI in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Perdomo hit the second of two triples in the second inning, driving in Jake McCarthy, who had tripled two batters before him. The RBI snapped an eight-game run without knocking in a run. He continues to see action at shortstop daily with Nick Ahmed (undisclosed) sidelined. The rookie shortstop is slashing .212./.336/.274 with five extra-base hits, five RBI, 15 runs and one stolen base over 40 games.

Perdomo started at shortstop and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Dodgers.

Perdomo stepped in for Nick Ahmed, who was added to the injured list Monday for an undisclosed reason. The rookie infielder should see the bulk of work at shortstop while Ahmed is unavailable.

Perdomo started at third base and went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Marlins.

Perdomo was one of three consecutive bottom-of-the-order hitters to deliver two-out RBIs in Arizona's four-run third inning the chased Miami starter Jesus Luzardo and provided separation. The infield prospect has lost at-bats since Josh Rojas returned from injury, but Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo jockeys the lineup so that Perdomo is staying fresh. Tuesday was the rookie's third start in the five games since Rojas was activated.

Perdomo remains on the Diamondbacks' roster following the activation of Josh Rojas from the injured list, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Rojas made his season debut Friday, getting the nod at third base, but manager Torey Lovullo indicated he would see time at shortstop and second base to give Nick Ahmed and Ketel Marte breaks during the week. That rotation, along with off days for Rojas, opens up regular at-bats for Perdomo, who is slashing .290/.353/.419 over the last 10 games following a slow start. A shortstop by trade, Perdomo also made appearances at second and third base thus far in 2022.

Perdomo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

Perdomo's ability to switch-hit and play multiple infield spots allowed him to pick up starts in four of the previous five games, but he did little to capitalize on the extra playing time, going 2-for-12 with three walks. Even though he's on the bench Tuesday, Perdomo could see semi-regular work until the Diamondbacks get Josh Rojas (oblique) back from the injured list, which may happen as early as this weekend.

Perdomo started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Monday's 5-4 win over the Marlins.

Perdomo filled in for the Diamondbacks' struggling star hitter, Ketel Marte, who is riding a three-game hitting streak but has just three hits over his previous 34 at-bats. With Josh Rojas (oblique) nearing a return, Perdomo's plate appearances will be squeezed, and the prospect could assigned to Triple-A Reno as early as next week.

Perdomo's role is likely to change when Josh Rojas (oblique) returns to the roster, which could happen at some point during Arizona's homestand beginning Friday, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

When Rojas returns, manager Torey Lovullo said he'll see most of his innings at third base, the position which Perdomo, a shortstop by trade, is sharing with Sergio Alcantara. If the Diamondbacks wanted to keep Perdomo in the majors, third base would be a path to consistent at-bats for the developing prospect. Lovullo's comments about Rojas' playing time suggest the Perdomo will head back to Triple-A upon the veteran's return.

Perdomo started at third base and went 0-for-2 with two walks in Thursday's 8-3 loss to the Cardinals.

This was Perdomo's second start at the hot corner, as the Diamondbacks prepare to give the prospect consistent plate appearances now that shortstop Nick Ahmed his back. It's not yet known of the organization will move him back to Triple-A once Josh Rojas (oblique) is ready. In the past, the Diamondbacks acknowledged Rojas' utility as an asset, and they could have him fill that role instead of being the primary third baseman.

Perdomo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

Perdomo will hit the bench after a string of four consecutive starts. He'll lose work at shortstop moving forward following Nick Ahmed's return from the injured list, but Perdomo's ability to fill in at second base and third base could allow him to pick up a handful of starts per week. The 22-year-old is getting on base at an excellent .362 clip this season, but he otherwise hasn't offered much production in batting average (.189) or the counting-stats categories.

Perdomo started at third base and went 0-for-2 in Monday's 4-0 loss to the Dodgers.

Perdomo made his first start professionally at third base, as the Diamondbacks look for ways to stabilize the revolving door at the hot corner. While Arizona waits on Josh Rojas (oblique), who was expected to open the season as the starter and is ramping up at the team's training facility, Perdomo moves into an unfamiliar spot. If the Diamondbacks plan to keep the prospect on the MLB roster, it behooves them to give Perdomo a home where he can find consistent at-bats.

Perdomo started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Mets.

Perdomo started in place of Ketel Marte, who was given a planned day off, and rocketed an extra-base hit for the third consecutive game. Marte is slow out of the gate batting just .169 (10-for-59), but there are no plans to give Perdomo more than just an occasional start at second. However, that the rookie is 5-for-10 over the last three games suggests he's moving past the 1-for-22 he posted over the first 11 contests.

Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Mets.

Perdomo started at shortstop, as the Diamondbacks plan to ease Nick Ahmed back from a shoulder injury. Long term, the team is giving the prospect practice reps at third base, where at-bats are available. Following a 1-for-22 start, Perdomo has multiple hits in two straight games, including his first double and triple of the season.

Perdomo will receive practice reps at third base, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Perdomo's playing time at shortstop took a hit when the Diamondbacks activated Nick Ahmed off the injured list Friday. Ahmed started Friday's game, but the plan is to ease him back to an everyday role. That means Perdomo will share shortstop for now while getting comfortable at third base, a position of weakness thus far for Arizona.

Perdomo is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.

The 22-year-old has been operating as Arizona's primary shortstop to begin the season, but Nick Ahmed (shoulder) was activated from the injured list Friday and should reclaim the starting role. Perdomo started 11 of the first 13 games but failed to take advantage of the opportunity with a .120/.371/.160 slash line in 35 plate appearances.

Perdomo isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Perdomo started the last three games and went 0-for-6 with two walks and two strikeouts. Sergio Alcantara will start at shortstop while Yonny Hernandez takes over at the hot corner.

Perdomo isn't starting Saturday's game against the Mets.

Perdomo started in each of the first seven games of the season, but he hit just .063 with a run, a stolen base, six walks and seven strikeouts. Sergio Alcantara will shift to shortstop while Yonny Hernandez starts at third base Saturday.

Perdomo will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Perdomo has picked up six straight starts to begin the season, but his standing atop the depth chart may last only as long as Nick Ahmed's (shoulder) stint on the injured list. With an .083 average, one run and no other counting stats, Perdomo isn't offering much from a fantasy perspective, but he's submitting competitive plate appearances and has drawn five walks against three strikeouts.

Perdomo's grip on the starting shortstop position improved after Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reported that Josh Rojas (oblique) will need weeks to recover.

Perdomo appeared to be solidifying a spot as the replacement for the injured Nick Ahmed (shoulder) at shortstop with the versatile Rojas seemingly the biggest threat. Rojas had been penciled in a third base but was also getting starts at shortstop since Ahmed's injury was revealed. Now, with the entire left side of the infield expected to miss the start of the season, it appears Perdomo will open on the Diamondbacks' roster.

Perdomo started at shortstop and went 2-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Thursday's spring training game against the Padres.

Perdomo made his second start at short since news broke about Nick Ahmed's shoulder injury. It's an injury with no definitive timetable, and Ahmed could eventually require surgery. Perdomo is 4-for-6 with two walks, a home run and three runs scored in three appearances this week. There's a very good chance he's the Opening Day shortstop for the Diamondbacks.

Perdomo went 2-for-2 with a solo home run in Wednesday's spring training game against the Rockies.

Perdomo entered the game in the seventh inning and finished out at shortstop, a position of interest after the Diamondbacks announced Nick Ahmed (shoulder) would not be ready for Opening Day. Sergio Alcantara started the game, one of three 40-man roster players to receive a start since Ahmed's shoulder started to bother him over last weekend. Josh Rojas is also in the mix, but he's already penciled in to start at third base. Perdomo is 5-for-21 with one home run, one double and six RBI through nine Cactus League games.

Perdomo started at shortstop and went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's spring training game against the Cubs.

Perdomo got the start at short with Nick Ahmed (shoulder) unavailable for now. Thus far, Josh Rojas and Perdomo have filled in at short since Ahmed's injury was revealed. Perdomo should generate interest in drafts or auctions, given the productive second half he put up in 2021, including a promising 11-game stint in the majors.

Perdomo could get work at shortstop early in the year with Nick Ahmed dealing with a shoulder injury.

Ahmed had an MRI on his shoulder which yielded inconclusive results, so it wouldn't be that surprising if he opened the year on the injured list. Perdomo might already be the better all-around player, as both guys are good defensive shortstops while Ahmed has a lengthy track record as a below-average hitter. Perdomo came on strong at the end of last season in the upper minors and in the majors and he has a chance to steal double-digit bases over a full season.

Perdomo started at shortstop and went 2-for-3 in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to San Francisco.

Perdomo, who was called up Sunday, made his second start in three games while serving as a pinch hitter in the other. He's hit in all three contests, going 4-for-6 with a double and a walk. He and Josh Rojas are sharing shortstop until the end of the season with Nick Ahmed (shoulder) done for the year. Looking ahead to 2022, the 31-year-old Ahmed still has two years left on his deal and the versatile Rojas has earned an everyday spot somewhere. It looks like Perdomo will continue to build off the success he achieved in August at Double-A Amarillo while playing for Triple-A Reno.

Perdomo started at shortstop and went 1-for-2 with a walk in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Dodgers.

Perdomo returned to the majors after the Diamondbacks placed Nick Ahmed (shoulder) on the injured list. Perdomo's overall numbers in the minor leagues may appear unremarkable, but digging deeper reveals a more hopeful story. The shortstop was hitting .151 for Double-A Amarillo in July, when the organization sent him to the team's spring training facility to revamp his swing, according to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. He returned to play a month later and had the best stretch of his minor-league career, posting a .321/.406/.530 line over the next 35 games. "I think he's made considerable improvements from an offensive standpoint," manager Torey Lovullo said. "I don't want to set the bar too high, but he has made some swing adjustments, especially from the left-hand side, where he's generating a little bit more force, a little bit more bat speed, and we've seen that exit velocity climb over the past several weeks of his at-bats in the minor leagues." Perdomo was then promoted to Triple-A Reno, where we

Perdomo was recalled by the Diamondbacks on Sunday and will head straight into the starting lineup, batting eighth and playing shortstop against the Dodgers.

Perdomo made his big-league debut in early April but was sent down after appearing in just four games, going 1-for-10 at the plate. He's spent the bulk of the season with Double-A Amarillo, where he's hit an unremarkable .231/.351/.357 with six homers and eight steals in 82 games, though that performance begins to look much better once his age (21) is factored in. He'll get the chance to make a brief audition in the final week of the season, as Nick Ahmed (shoulder) hit the injured list in a corresponding move.

Perdomo was optioned to the Diamondbacks' alternate training site Saturday.

Perdomo got his first taste of major-league action early in the 2021 campaign and went 1-for-10 with a run, three walks and two strikeouts in four games. However, he'll head to the team's alternate camp after Nick Ahmed (knee) was activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Josh Rojas should serve as the backup shortstop for Arizona now that Ahmed is healthy.

Perdomo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game at Colorado.

Perdomo is 1-for-9 with one run, two walks and two strikeouts through his first three big-league games and will take a seat Wednesday. Josh Rojas is starting at shortstop while Eduardo Escobar and Asdrubal Cabrera start and second and third base, respectively.

Perdomo will start at shortstop and bat eighth Sunday against the Padres.

After making his debut off the bench Saturday, Perdomo will enter the starting lineup for the first time as a major leaguer to face right-hander Chris Paddack. The expectation is that Josh Rojas will get the majority of the start at shortstop while Nick Ahmed (knee) is sidelined, but Perdomo is a top prospect in the organization and his running ability makes him an interesting streamer in leagues that allow daily roster moves.

Perdomo made his MLB debut Saturday and struck out in his lone at-bat in a 7-0 loss to the Padres.

Perdomo entered the blowout loss in the eighth inning and got his first MLB at-bat. He's up with Arizona while Nick Ahmed (knee) is on the injured list, but Josh Rojas is expected to get the majority of starts at short, per Steve Gilbert of MLB.com.

Perdomo is being called up to the majors Saturday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Arizona's shortstop of the future, Perdomo is not expected to be up for good, but it sounds like Nick Ahmed (knee) is headed to the injured list, so Perdomo will fill in at the six in the short term. Of course, if he were to really impress, those plans could change. Perdomo lacks big raw power, but the 21-year-old switch hitter has an excellent approach at the plate and is an above-average runner.

The Diamondbacks optioned Perdomo to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

Arizona's top middle-infield prospect is expected to spend the majority of the 2021 campaign at Triple-A after having lost out on some critical development time in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor-league season. The 21-year-old shortstop showcased impressive plate discipline and good speed during his stint in the California League in 2019, posting a .407 on-base percentage and 1.27 BB/K while stealing six bags for High-A Visalia.
