Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo (knee) had surgery on Monday to fix a torn meniscus in his right knee after being placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Manager Torey Lovullo said the surgery went well. Perdomo is "bummed" and hopes to be back next month. The D-backs brought up infielder Kevin Newman from Triple-A Reno, but Blaze Alexander is expected to see most of the playing time at the 6 in Perdomo's absence, with Jace Peterson also an option at the position. In six games at Reno, Newman hit .364/.407/.636 with a home run and seven RBI. The 24-year-old Perdomo injured his knee on April 3 while rounding the bases in extra innings and is expected to miss at least a month of action.

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo (knee) has been diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his right knee and will require surgery, likely keeping him out at least a month. Rookie Blaze Alexander figures to get much of the playing time, but the club is also expected to select the contract of Kevin Newman from Triple-A Reno. Veteran Jace Peterson is another option for the Snakes at the 6 until Perdomo is able to return in around a month. The 24-year-old Perdomo injured his knee on Wednesday and hasn't appeared since. Alexander, 24, has seen some time already this year against left-handed pitchers and has gone 5-for-18 (.278) with a homer, three RBI and a stolen base in his first six big-league games, but now he'll be playing regularly, making him worth a look in deep-mixed fantasy leagues for middle-infield depth.

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Geraldo Perdomo (knee) could be looking at missing additional time after suffering an injury during Wednesday's game. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that Perdomo is likely to undergo an MRI on his injured knee after experiencing additional discomfort on Friday. The hope was that this was a day-to-day issue, but it could result in a trip to the injured list. Jace Peterson is starting at shortstop on Friday. The expectation is that Peterson and Blaze Alexander will split up the playing time at the 6 until Perdomo returns. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update after the MRI.

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo (knee) is out of the team's starting lineup as they face the Braves in Atlanta on Friday. Perdomo left the team's game early on Wednesday against the New York Yankees and was diagnosed with right-knee discomfort. For now, fantasy managers should consider the 24-year-old to be day-to-day and check back on his availability on Saturday for the second game of the series. The Dominican infielder has six hits in his first 24 at-bats on the year with two RBI and three runs scored for the Snakes. Veteran Jace Peterson will start at the 6 on Friday and hit eighth in the lineup against Braves right-hander Spencer Strider. Against one of the best pitchers in the game, we'd recommend avoiding Peterson in DFS.UPDATE: Perdomo looked good but didn't feel good on Friday, manager Torey Lovullo said. Perdomo experienced enough discomfort that he'll likely undergo an MRI exam on Saturday.

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo (knee) left Wednesday's extra-inning loss to the New York Yankees in the 10th inning and was walking with a slight limp. He started hobbling halfway to second base and stood on the bag hunched over for a while before leaving the game. The Arizona Republic's Theo Mackie suggests it could have been Perdomo's knee, which he had a minor issue with during spring training. Before leaving, Perdomo went 0-for-4 with an RBI and two strikeouts in the 6-5 loss. If the 24-year-old is forced to miss any time because of the injury, expect Blaze Alexander to see most of the playing time at shortstop for Arizona. Until we know more on Perdomo's injury, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. The D-backs are off on Thursday before heading to Atlanta to face the Braves on Friday.UPDATE: Perdomo is officially listed as day-to-day with right-knee discomfort.

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Geraldo Perdomo has been named the team's starting shortstop ahead of the 2024 season, manager Torey Lovullo announced on Friday. Perdomo has appeared in 292 games over his last two seasons but was far more productive in 2023, slashing .246/.353/.359 with a 12.9 BB%, 17.4 K%, 4.3 oWAR, 6.1 dWAR, 99 wRC+, and 16 stolen bases. He was the Diamondbacks' primary shortstop last year, though Nick Ahmed played 65 games there, too. Now, the role belongs fully to Perdomo, giving him plenty of job security as Spring Training gets underway.

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Geraldo Perdomo is sitting from Thursday's lineup versus the Cincinnati Reds. Nick Ahmed takes over at shortstop to hit eighth against left-hander Brandon Williamson. The 23-year-old Perdomo received a surprise 2023 All-Star nod this summer, but his power against southpaws has been lacking. The switch-hitter is slugging .415 in 277 at-bats opposing right-handed pitching, but just .326 during 46 ABs vs. lefties this season. Perdomo lines up to encounter three righties over the remaining three games of this series, so expect to see him back in the mix this weekend.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll will bat leadoff on Wednesday against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers and right-hander Bobby Miller. Meanwhile, shortstop Geraldo Perdomo drops to the nine-hole. Carroll has mostly been hitting near the top of Arizona's batting order, so the switch shouldn't affect him all that much. The 22-year-old has been excellent across the board for fantasy managers in 2023, hitting .276/.357/.519 with an .876 OPS, 21 homers, 59 RBI, 36 stolen bases and 79 runs scored in 391 at-bats. Carroll is a must-start fantasy asset. The switch-hitting Perdomo gets the lineup demotion after going 9-for-46 (.196) with no homers, one RBI, 11 strikeouts, two steals and five runs scored in 14 games (11 starts) since July 24.

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo is absent from Tuesday's lineup for the game against Julio Urias and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 23-year-old has done well during his third year in the league, batting .267 with five homers and 13 RBI across 95 games. But he's struggled against southpaws (.690 OPS) and will take a seat with lefty Urias on the hill. Nick Ahmed will take over in the infield and bat eighth. The slick fielder continues to provide almost no fantasy value, as he's slashing .224/.267/.322 with two bombs and five stolen bases over 55 contests. Fantasy managers can leave him on the waiver wire everywhere.

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Geraldo Perdomo is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Cincinnati Reds. Left-hander Brandon Williamson is getting the start for the Reds so the switch-hitting Perdomo will start this contest on the bench, as has been the case for most of the season whenever the D-Backs face a southpaw. The 23-year-old has actually hit lefties well this year, albeit in a small sample size, with a .303/.361/.333 batting lines across 36 plate appearances. Veteran Nick Ahmed will cover shortstop and bat eighth in Perdomo's place.

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo is sitting to start Tuesday's game against Jesus Luzardo and the Miami Marlins. The third-year player is currently in a platoon, so won't start with a left-hander on the mound. Instead, it will be Nick Ahmed at short, batting seventh. The 33-year-old is mostly known for his glove, as he's slashing .227/.239/.318 with one home run and three steals, and has faired worse off of southpaws with a .195 average. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for shortstop help.

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Geraldo Perdomo is hitting out of the leadoff spot Monday as he takes on Kansas City Royals right-hander Brad Keller. It's the first time he's started out of the leadoff spot in his career as the 23-year-old has largely hit ninth to this point across the first 176 games of his big-league tenure. Perdomo's promotion makes sense as he's hitting a robust .356 alongside a 1.009 OPS across 53 trips to the plate for the season. Unfortunately, he also appears to be set for regression moving forward as his .436 wOBA is miles ahead of his .293 expected mark while he's certainly benefited from a monstrous .469 BABIP on the young campaign.
