Nick Ahmed Stats

The Arizona Diamondbacks placed shortstop Nick Ahmed on the injured list with an undisclosed injury on Monday. A move to the injured list without an injury designation typically means the move was COVID-related. However, Ahmed has also been dealing with right shoulder issues this year, so the move to the injured list could be related to that. The team called up fellow infielder Jake Hager from Triple-A to take Ahmed's roster spot. Ahmed has played in 17 games so far this year and he's slashed .231/.259/.442 with three home runs, seven RBI and seven runs scored.

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed (shoulder) took eight at-bats at the team's extended Spring Training complex at Salt River Flats on Thursday. It was the first time he swung a bat since being shut down in late March with recurring shoulder problems. The 31-year-old says he's feeling much better. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said "would push for him to go on a rehab assignment nevertheless. That'll be my vote," Lovullo said. "I'm not the only voter in this situation, but I want to make sure he gets himself as ready as possible." Ahmed is expected to be the team's starting shortstop after slashing .221/.280/.339 with five home runs and 38 RBI over 129 games in 2021. Geraldo Perdomo will continue filling in at shortstop while Ahmed is sidelined but is off to a slow start, collecting one hit with seven strikeouts over 16 at-bats.

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed (shoulder) said he's received a pair of cortisone shots in his shoulder and will not be able to hit or throw for the next 10 days. With Opening Day eight days away, Ahmed will not be ready for the start of the regular season. With the 32-year-old sidelined with right shoulder discomfort, Geraldo Perdomo and Sergio Alcantara should split the duties at the 6 in Arizona until Ahmed is return to return. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues shouldn't be surprised if Ahmed misses most of the opening month of the season. At a premier position packed with loads of power upside, Ahmed doesn't give you much fantasy upside with 10 combined homers in the last two years and a career average of .236 in eight big-league seasons.
