Jun 29 2025Perdomo went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo doubled to lead off the bottom of the first inning and scored, and he then came home on Ketel Marte's three-run home run in the fourth. Perdomo is enjoying a productive run as the leadoff or second batter in the order while Corbin Carroll (wrist) is on the mend. He's hit safely in eight of nine games, going 12-for-40 (.300) with two doubles, two homers, eight RBI, a stolen base and eight runs scored. The shortstop is second on the team in RBI (57) and fourth in runs (45).
Jun 27 2025Perdomo went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and two walks in Friday's 9-8 loss to the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo is settling in as the Diamondbacks' primary leadoff hitter against right-handed pitchers, at least while Corbin Carroll (wrist) is out. In five games atop the lineup, Perdomo has gone 5-for-20 (.250) with two extra-base hits, four walks and a stolen base. The shortstop has been fairly steady this season with a .259/.356/.416 slash line, nine homers, 56 RBI, 43 runs scored, 12 stolen bases, 17 doubles and one triple over 80 contests.
Jun 24 2025Perdomo batted leadoff and went 2-for-4 with two walks, a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 10-0 win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo batted leadoff for a second straight game, as the Diamondbacks are without Corbin Carroll (hand), who is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list. That means Perdomo will likely replace Carroll as the leadoff hitter against right-handers, while Ketel Marte maintains his role atop the order against lefties. Perdomo has experienced a slight downturn during June -- he's batting .190 (15-for-79) with a .624 OPS -- but he's contributed seven extra-base hits, 11 RBI and 12 runs scored over 20 contests.
Jun 21 2025Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo's fifth-inning long ball provided the Diamondbacks' margin of victory. The shortstop had gone just 2-for-22 (.901) with two walks and four strikeouts over his previous five games. Perdomo hit .309 in May, but he's at just .183 (13-for-71) in June. He's posted a .260/.355/.414 slash line, eight homers, 51 RBI, 39 runs scored and 11 stolen bases over 75 contests this season.
Jun 15 2025Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a walk, a triple, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo delivered a bases-loaded triple as part of a five-run rally in the bottom of the ninth inning and then beat a throw at the plate to register the winning run. The three RBI bumped his season total to a career-high 49 (second on team) over 69 games. There's been nothing fluky about Perdomo's run production in 2025; his .279 BABIP is tied for 111th in MLB, and his barrel (4.9 percent) and hard-hit (33.5 percent) rates have jumped up significantly beyond his career norms.
Jun 11 2025Perdomo went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo pushed across another two runs with teammates in scoring position and has 45 RBI this season, while batting .302 with RISP through 66 games. He's two RBI shy of the career best he posted over 144 games in 2023. Perdomo's production has waned this month -- he's slashing .152/.250/.303 over nine June contests -- but overall he's been a good fantasy value at shortstop and sports a career-high .786.
Jun 8 2025Perdomo went 1-for-7 with a solo home run in losses to the Reds on Friday and Saturday. The Friday game was suspended due to rain and completed Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo homered during the Friday portion of the first game, which was suspended after six innings with score tied 3-3. Since being moved up in the order a week ago, Perdomo has gone 3-for-25 over six games.
May 31 2025Perdomo batted third and went 1-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 9-7 loss to the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo had made several appearances in the upper third of the batting order this season but only when Ketel Marte was injured or resting. With Marte back from a two-game absence due to an illness, Arizona manager Torey Lovullo made the call to leave Perdomo up in the order, per Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. Perdomo's line when batting in the upper third of the order is .291/.393/.458 with seven doubles, five home runs and 24 RBI through 31 games.
May 19 2025Perdomo went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Sunday's 1-0 win over Colorado. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo extended a hit streak to six games with a second-inning single, after which he stole his 11th base over 46 games. That's two more than the shortstop had in 98 games last year, and he's threatening the career-high 16 swipes he posted in 2023 across 144 games. Perdomo is enjoying his most productive season since becoming a full-time starter in 2022.
May 16 2025Perdomo went 1-for-2 with a double, a walk, three RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 8-0 win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo supplied his first two RBI with productive outs -- a groundout in the second inning and a sacrifice fly in the fourth -- before adding an RBI double in the eighth. The shortstop is putting together a strong May, batting .354 (17-for-48) over 14 games this month while adding 10 RBI, three steals and an 8:9 BB:K. Overall, Perdomo slashing .294/.397/.458 with five home runs, 10 steals, 34 RBI, 21 runs scored and 10 doubles across 44 contests despite often hitting in the bottom third of the order since Ketel Marte returned from a hamstring injury May 2.
May 9 2025Perdomo went 2-for-3 with a double in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nothing has been able to slow down Perdomo, whether he's hitting at the top of the order in place of an injured Ketel Marte or back down in his familiar ninth spot. Since Marte's return, Perdomo is batting .375 (9-for-24) with a .964 OPS from the bottom of the order. While filling in for Marte, he had a 1.101 OPS from the leadoff spot and an .836 OPS when hitting second. Perdomo has generated more barrels and harder contact in 2025 while getting the ball in the air more often than he had in previous seasons.
May 4 2025Perdomo went 4-for-5 with two steals, two doubles, three RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 11-9 extra-inning victory at Philadelphia. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Arizona shortstop shined brightly in this performance, notching his first career four-hit game. This game also marked the fifth time Perdomo has swiped two bags in a contest in his five-year career. The 25-year-old continues his stellar start, as he's now slashing .292/.400/.475 with five homers, nine steals, 29 RBI and 18 runs scored across 152 plate appearances.
May 2 2025Perdomo will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Friday's game against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo batted either first or second in all of his starts since April 5 after Ketel Marte (hamstring) went on the injured list, but with Marte back and batting leadoff Friday, Perdomo has returned to the bottom of the order. The switch hitter is batting .275/.387/.459 with five homers and seven stolen bases this season.
Apr 30 2025Perdomo went 1-for-1 with three RBI and a stolen base in a 4-3 win over the Mets on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo began the game on the bench, but he ended up making a big impact on the outcome anyway. The switch-hitting shortstop entered as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and gave Arizona its first lead with a two-run single. Perdomo then tacked on another run with a sacrifice fly in the ninth. He's already at 24 RBI through 30 contests on the campaign, putting him more than halfway to his career-high mark of 47 RBI established over 144 regular-season games in 2023.
Apr 17 2025Perdomo went 1-for-2 with two walks, a stolen base, two RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 6-4 win at Miami. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo launched his third homer of the season Wednesday -- already matching his 2024 total -- and followed up with another productive performance in Thursday's series finale. The shortstop has been one of the biggest surprises in baseball early in 2025, as he's tied for fifth in MLB with 18 RBI and has a .317/.427/.492 slash line through 84 plate appearances.
Apr 16 2025Perdomo went 1-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 10-4 win over Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After Corbin Carroll doubled home the first run of Arizona's four-run second inning, Perdomo capped it with a three-run blast deep to right field. It was the shortstop's third homer through 17 games, matching last season's total over 98 games, and he's halfway to the career-high six he hit in 2023 (144 games). Perdomo leads Arizona with 16 RBI.
Apr 10 2025Perdomo batted second and went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 9-0 win over Baltimore. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo capped the Diamondbacks' four-homer night with a solo shot in the bottom of the eighth inning, his second home run of the season. A recent move to the top of the order, where he's replacing Ketel Marte (hamstring), should boost Perdomo's production, but he was just 1-for-12 in the first four games following his promotion before breaking out Wednesday. The shortstop is batting .333/.389/.511 with four extra-base hits and a team-leading 13 RBI through 55 plate appearances (13 games).
Apr 5 2025Perdomo is hitting atop Arizona's batting order for Saturday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arizona used either Ketel Marte (hamstring) or Corbin Carroll to bat leadoff in each of the team's first eight games, but with Marte landing on the injured list Saturday morning, Perdomo will get a chance to hit atop the order. The 25-year-old shortstop has certainly looked the part of a leadoff hitter so far this season, slashing .379/.375/.552 with a home run, 11 RBI, five runs and two stolen bases through 33 plate appearances. Carroll will bat second Saturday after hitting leadoff in half of the team's initial eight contests.
Apr 3 2025Perdomo went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Thursday's 9-7 loss to the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Diamondbacks were in a 9-3 hole in the seventh inning, but Perdomo gave them plenty of life with a grand slam that traveled 345 feet into the short porch in right field at Yankee Stadium. The 25-year-old switch-hitter hit his first homer of the year as the No. 2 batter in Arizona's order while Ketel Marte got Thursday night off, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to have such a favorable lineup spot when Marte is starting. Perdomo is still off to a strong start in 2025, batting .320 with 11 RBI, three runs scored and one stolen base over 25 at-bats (seven games).
Mar 30 2025Perdomo batted second and went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 10-6 win over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Diamondbacks appeared headed for a third loss in the four-game series against the Cubs, but they erupted for eight runs in the eighth inning to erase a 6-2 deficit. Perdomo started the fun with a double up the alley in right-center to plate two runs. The shortstop has hit safely in all four games to start the season and has five RBI. He normally hits down the order but was moved up to second with Corbin Carroll not in Sunday's starting lineup.
Mar 10 2025Perdomo went 1-for-1 with two walks and two stolen bases in Sunday's split-squad game against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo has delivered for the Diamondbacks this spring after signing a four-year contract extension. He's gone 8-for-24 (.333) with four walks, building off improving on-base skills the last two seasons following a rude introduction to major league pitching during his rookie 2022 season. Sunday's two thefts were his first of the Cactus League. While his overall fantasy profile doesn't grab one's attention, Perdomo does provide some value in steals; he swiped 16 bags in 2023 (144 games) and nine in an injury-shortened 2024 (98 games).
Feb 17 2025Perdomo agreed to a four-year, $45 million contract extension with the Diamondbacks on Monday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The club is getting a great deal on Perdomo's services in 2025 after agreeing to a $2.55 million contract to avoid arbitration. That number will jump to $5 million in 2026, $8 million in 2027, $11 million in 2028 and $13 million in 2029, per Jon Heyman of the New York Post. This appears to be a team-friendly deal at first look, considering the 25-year-old shortstop is coming off the best season of his young big-league career, batting .273 with three home runs, 37 RBI, nine stolen bases on 10 attempts and 61 runs scored over 98 games.
Jan 9 2025Perdomo and the Diamondbacks avoided arbitration Thursday by agreeing to a one-year, $2.55 million deal, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo will be heading into his fourth season as the Diamondbacks' primary shortstop, though he may only be keeping the seat warm until top prospect Jordan Lawlar is ready for a full-time role at the MLB level. The 25-year-old Perdomo is a quality defender who hit at league-average level last season (.273/.344/.374 slash line, 101 wRC+), but he lacks power (.095 career ISO) and isn't a premium base stealer (34 stolen bases in 401 career games). He'll likely hit near the bottom of the batting order while he remains a regular in the Arizona lineup.
Sep 29 2024Perdomo went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo stole second base with one out in the third inning but the Diamondbacks were unable to advance him. It was the ninth steal of the season and the first in 17 games for Perdomo. Arizona faces a must-win scenario Sunday to give it a chance at the postseason, so manager Torey Lovullo will want his best, likely including Perdomo, in the lineup.
Sep 24 2024Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 6-3 loss to San Francisco. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo moved up the order to bat second, as Ketel Marte was held out of the starting lineup in a preventative measure. The double was the career-high 21st for Perdomo, who also has career bests in batting average (.276) and slugging percentage (.382). This is not the same hitter that batted .195 in 2022, his first full season in the majors.
Sep 6 2024Perdomo batted leadoff and went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Thursday's 3-2 loss to San Francisco. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo led off the game with a single and eventually scored. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo has moved Perdomo to the leadoff spot against lefties -- he batted second against a right-hander Wednesday -- but he'll likely slide back down the order when Ketel Marte (ankle) returns, which could come as soon as this weekend. Perdomo is 7-for-18 with four RBI and five runs scored over the last five games.
Sep 1 2024Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 14-3 win over the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo supplied a two-run double during the Diamondbacks' eight-run second inning. He had gone seven games without a multi-hit effort prior to Sunday, batting .136 (3-for-22) in that span. The shortstop is enjoying a breakout campaign, slashing .278/.345/.393 over 73 contests after missing over two months with a torn meniscus in his right knee early in the season. Perdomo has added three home runs, 29 RBI, 47 runs scored and seven stolen bases across 288 plate appearances.
Aug 26 2024Perdomo went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo put an end to a successful road trip (.324/.390/.525) by popping his third home run of the season in the ninth inning to give Arizona extra cushion. He's belted all three of his homers during August, which has been the shortstop's best month. Perdomo is batting .325/.400/.525 with 10 extra-base hits, 10 RBI, four steals and seven runs scored over 22 August contests.
Aug 21 2024Perdomo went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional run and a double in Wednesday's 10-8 win against Miami. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo entered Wednesday with just one homer through 63 games, but he displayed some unexpected power to provide an insurance run with a solo blast in the eighth inning. The long ball was the infielder's first extra-base hit of any sort over his past 10 games, though he's been reaching base consistently of late with six hits and three walks across his past 20 plate appearances. Perdomo's overall .281 batting average on the campaign is on pace for a career-best mark.
Aug 19 2024Perdomo batted leadoff and went 2-for-5 with a walk in Sunday's 8-7 extra-innings loss to Tampa Bay. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo was moved into the leadoff spot for the third time in the last seven games. Sunday's start was against a right-hander while the previous two were against lefties. Corbin Carroll, who has been the primary leadoff batter against right-handers, slotted at second in the order. The batting order adjustments appear to be related to the ongoing ankle issues that Ketel Marte is experiencing. He aggravated the injury Sunday during a pinch hitting appearance after returning Saturday as a DH.
Aug 10 2024Perdomo went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-1 win over the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo has gone 18-for-40 (.450) over his last 12 contests, a span that includes a trio of three-hit efforts. He was hitting just .246 on July 28, but he's up to .291 now with a .732 OPS, one home run, 13 doubles, one triple, three stolen bases, 21 RBI and 34 runs scored across 205 plate appearances this year. His hot bat has helped him maintain a starting role at shortstop.
Aug 7 2024Perdomo is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Guardians, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo made a fifth consecutive start in the first game of the day, going 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in the Diamondbacks' 7-3 win. He'll retreat to the bench for the nightcap while Kevin Newman receives a turn at shortstop.
Aug 4 2024Perdomo went 3-for-3 with two doubles and a run scored in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The shortstop also reached base in his fourth plate appearance as he got plunked by a Dennis Santana fastball in the fifth inning. Perdomo has racked up 10 knocks during his current five-game hitting streak, and since the beginning of July he's put together a .295/.340/.409 slash line with two steals, 12 RBI and 20 runs over 25 contests despite mainly batting ninth in the order -- a benefit of having Corbin Carroll and Ketel Marte hitting behind him once the lineup turns over.
Aug 1 2024Perdomo entered Wednesday's game as a pinch hitter and went 1-for-2 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in a 5-4 win over Washington. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo pinch hit for Kevin Newman in the sixth inning against a right-hander and singled in a run. He then stole a base and scored on a single by Corbin Carroll. The steal was Perdomo's second of the season and first in 21 games. He remained in the game, playing the final three innings at shortstop.
Jul 31 2024Perdomo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo will take a seat in the day game after a night game, paving the way for Kevin Newman to draw a start at shortstop. In Tuesday's 17-0 win, Perdomo tied a season high with three hits while scoring twice and driving in two runs in five at-bats.
Jul 22 2024Perdomo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After going hitless in the final two games of the Diamondbacks' series against the Cubs this past weekend, Perdomo will get a breather as Arizona's road trip moves to Kansas City. Kevin Newman will step in for Perdomo at shortstop and will bat eighth.
Jul 13 2024Perdomo went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 5-4 win over Toronto. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo scored one of Arizona's two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to tie the game, and his sacrifice fly an inning later walked off the Blue Jays. The shortstop has hit safely in nine of 11 contests, going 13-for-40 (.325) with two walks, six RBI, one steal and nine runs. He's currently batting a career-high .287.
Jul 11 2024Perdomo went 3-for-3 with two doubles, an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-5 win over Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo, who was given Tuesday off, returned to the lineup Wednesday and extended a hit streak to five games. He's hit safely in eight of the last nine contests, going 12-for-34 (.353) with three doubles, a triple, five RBI and eight runs scored during that stretch.
Jul 9 2024Perdomo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo will get his first day off since June 29, giving way to Kevin Newman at shortstop Tuesday. Perdomo has generated a hit in seven of his last eight games, batting 9-for-31 (.290) with six runs scored during that stretch.
Jul 4 2024Perdomo went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo singled in each of his first two trips to the plate and swiped second following the latter, giving him his first stolen base of the campaign. It marked the shortstop's sixth multi-hit effort of the season, and he's now hit safely in three straight games, raising his average to .275 in the process.
Jun 29 2024Perdomo isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The switch-hitting Perdomo has posted just a .476 OPS against southpaws since being activated off the injured list June 11, so he'll get a day off against left-hander Hogan Harris. Kevin Newman will enter the lineup as Arizona's shortstop and bat eighth.
Jun 20 2024Perdomo isn't in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo had started five straight games and seven of eight since returning from the injured list June 11, but he'll begin the series finale in Washington on the bench. Kevin Newman will handle shortstop for the Diamondbacks on Thursday.
Jun 13 2024Perdomo isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo has gone 3-for-7 with an RBI and a run scored in two games since returning from the injured list. He'll get a breather against Griffin Canning and the Angels while Kevin Newman starts at shortstop, batting ninth.
Jun 12 2024Perdomo (knee) went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 9-4 victory over the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo was activated off the injured list Tuesday and took back his spot at shortstop. His return means less work for Kevin Newman and Blaze Alexander, both of whom remained on the roster following Perdomo's activation.
Jun 11 2024The Diamondbacks reinstated Perdomo (knee) from the injured list Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee in early April, but after roughly two months of recovery and a seven-game rehab assignment, he's ready to return to Arizona's lineup. The 24-year-old infielder went 3-for-22 with four RBI during his assignment, playing three games in the Arizona Complex League and four games with Triple-A Reno. Despite his struggles, he figures to start regularly at shortstop for the D-backs. Pavin Smith was optioned to Reno in a corresponding move.
Jun 10 2024The Diamondbacks are expected to activate Perdomo (knee) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo has been sidelined since early April following surgery on his right meniscus, but he's ready to rejoin the big club after seven rehab games, the last four of which came at Triple-A Reno. Gambadoro relays that the Diamondbacks aren't prepared to remove the struggling Eugenio Suarez from the roster to make room for Perdomo. Kevin Newman or Blaze Alexander could be at risk of losing their spots on the active roster, though Newman would have to be exposed to waivers if he's sent out of Arizona in a corresponding transaction.
Jun 8 2024Perdomo (knee) started at shortstop and went 0-for-4 for Triple-A Reno on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo played a third consecutive day for Reno and his first nine-inning game in the field. Including time spent in the Arizona Complex League, he's played six games and is 3-for-19. The Diamondbacks are considering roster options for Perdomo's pending return, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports. He'll slide back into his starting shortstop position, which puts the focus on Kevin Newman and Blaze Alexander.
Jun 7 2024Perdomo started at designated hitter and went 1-for-4 with an RBI for Triple-A Reno on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo, who played seven innings at shortstop Wednesday, was in the lineup for a second straight day but got replaced by a pinch hitter after eight innings. Perdomo will continue his rehab assignment through the weekend for Reno and could rejoin the Diamondbacks next week. Arizona begins a homestand Tuesday against the Angels.
Jun 6 2024Perdomo (knee) started at shortstop and went 1-for-3 with an RBI in a rehab game with Triple-A Reno on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo's rehab moved from the rookie-level Arizona Complex League to Reno on Wednesday, and the shortstop played seven innings in the field. Per Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com, the Diamondbacks aren't targeting a specific number of games or at-bats for Perdomo; instead, his return date depends on how he feels. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo confirmed Perdomo won't be activated from the 10-day injured list during the upcoming four-game series against the Padres that begin Thursday, but a return next week could be in the cards.
Jun 3 2024Perdomo (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on Wednesday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo was cleared for at-bats in the Arizona Complex League over the weekend, and the club has since determined that he's ready to face stronger competition. He'll likely play at least a few games at Triple-A before being activated from the 10-day injured list.
Jun 2 2024Perdomo (knee) started at shortstop and went 1-for-3 with a run scored in a rehab game for the Diamondbacks' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo, who played five innings in the field, made his second ACL appearance after getting four at-bats Friday as the designated hitter. The organization's plan calls for Perdomo to finish out the weekend in the ACL before moving on to a higher-level affiliate. A return from the 10-day injured list later in the week is a possibility.
May 30 2024Perdomo (knee) will play in the Arizona Complex League this weekend before heading out on a rehab assignment early next week, Arizona Sports reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo suffered a right meniscus tear April 3 and had surgery. The report does not indicate which minor-league affiliate he'll be joining or give an estimated number of reps he'll need. Perdomo will return as the Diamondbacks' starting shortstop, which has been handled by Blaze Alexander and Kevin Newman while Perdomo has been unavailable.
May 28 2024Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Tuesday that Perdomo (knee) is expected to play in live games "very, very shortly," Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old has already taken live at-bats but has yet to run thus bases, so he still has a bit of work to do in his rehab program before seeing game action. Lovullo said in mid-May that Perdomo was expected to return from the injured list in a couple weeks, but it instead appears the shortstop's absence will extend into June.
May 19 2024Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Saturday that Perdomo (knee) should return from the injured list in a couple of weeks, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo took grounders and batting practice at Chase Field on Saturday in what looked like a typical pre-game routine. That prompted Lovullo to echo the two-week time frame estimated by the injured shortstop last Wednesday. Perdomo, who is working his way back from a right meniscus tear, has not yet run at full speed nor performed quick adjustments or turns.
May 15 2024Perdomo (knee) has started to take live at-bats, hit in the cages and field ground balls, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo, who's putting in five-to-seven hours per day while rehabbing at Salt River Fields, expressed optimism that he'll return by the end of the month. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo is not ready to put a timeline on the shortstop's return, but acknowledged Perdomo looks good executing the work he's currently doing. Next up, per the manager, is getting spikes on Perdomo's feet and having him run, cut, make turns and the agility to start and stop.
May 6 2024Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Sunday that he believes Perdomo (knee) will start hitting this week, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo has already started some baseball activity, including fielding grounders and throwing. A rehab assignment for the shortstop should follow his return to the batting cages, but a timeline for his return to MLB has not yet been established.
May 4 2024Manager Torey Lovullo said Saturday that Perdomo (knee) has been fielding live ground balls and has also resumed throwing, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo still has yet to resume hitting, as the Diamondbacks are going to take a cautious approach with his rehab just three weeks removed from knee surgery. The 24-year-old infielder remains without a definite return timeline, but Lovullo noted he is encouraged by the progress Perdomo has made so far.
Apr 9 2024Perdomo (knee) underwent surgery to repair a torn right meniscus Monday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said the procedure went well. The organization believes Perdomo will need about a month to recover and rehab.
Apr 7 2024The Diamondbacks placed Perdomo (knee) on the 10-day injured list Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: As expected, Perdomo was deactivated after Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reported earlier Sunday that the shortstop was diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his right knee. Perdomo will need surgery and is expected to miss at least one month, with a firmer target date set to come into focus once he's cleared to resume baseball activities. Arizona selected Kevin Newman's contract from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move to add depth to the middle infield in the interim, but rookie Blaze Alexander may be the top candidate to replace Perdomo as the Diamondbacks' everyday shortstop.
Apr 6 2024Perdomo (knee) isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo was removed from Wednesday's game against the Yankees due to a knee injury and reported still feeling discomfort during agility drills Friday. He's slated to receive an MRI on Saturday, and the results will reveal more about his status going forward. In the meantime, Blaze Alexander will pick up another start at shortstop and bat ninth.
Apr 5 2024Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Friday that Perdomo (knee) is likely to get an MRI on Saturday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo did some agility drills Friday with the medical staff, and Lovullo noted that the infielder "looked good but didn't feel good." Perdomo left Wednesday's game against the Yankees after sustaining a knee injury while rounding first base in the 10th inning.
Apr 3 2024Manager Torey Lovullo said after Wednesday's loss that Perdomo is day-to-day with right knee discomfort, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo injured his knee rounding first base after reaching on an error during the bottom of the 10th inning. The team doesn't seem to be very concerned about his injury, and having a scheduled day off Thursday may allow the 24-year-old infielder to play again Friday against Atlanta without missing any games.
Mar 19 2024Perdomo (knee) is in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo injured his knee on a slide during a Cactus League game last week, but a long-term absence was never likely for the 24-year-old. Perdomo is just 4-for-25 through 10 spring games, but he remains the favorite to start at shortstop for the D-backs on Opening Day.
Mar 16 2024Perdomo took grounders Saturday after imaging on his left knee came back negative, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo hurt his knee earlier this week on a slide during Cactus League play, but he's managed to avoid a serious injury. It's not clear when he might be cleared to play in a game, but Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said he's not concerned about his shortstop's availability for Opening Day.
Mar 14 2024Perdomo tweaked his lower half on a slide during Monday's Cactus League game against the Athletics and will be held out until the weekend, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Jace Peterson started at shortstop in the two games since. The Diamondbacks feel Perdomo needs a few days to bounce back, but the injury doesn't appear to be anything serious. Perdomo has gone 4-for-25 over 10 Cactus League games.
Feb 16 2024Manager Torey Luvollo said Friday that Perdomo will begin the season as Arizona's primary shortstop, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.comreports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Top prospect Jordan Lawlar made his MLB debut last season and will soon receive an extended look in the big leagues, but Perdomo's .712 OPS during the regular season last year and .754 OPS during the playoffs will help him keep the starting gig at shortstop for now. Perdomo totaled six home runs, 47 RBI, 71 runs and 16 steals in 144 contests, and he has a limited fantasy ceiling.
Sep 20 2023Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 on the strong side 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.
Sep 17 2023Perdomo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Sep 13 2023Perdomo is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Sep 11 2023Perdomo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Sep 10 2023Perdomo 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Sep 9 2023Perdomo isn't in Arizona's lineup Saturday against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Sep 8 2023Perdomo started at third base and went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo made his second start of the season at third base, as shortstop prospect Jordan Lawlar was promoted for his MLB debut. The switch-hitting Perdomo had been the primary starter at shortstop against right-handers. If the Diamondbacks continue to align as they did Thursday, it's likely Perdomo will qualify as a corner infielder next season. as he's already played 13 games total at third base so far in 2023.
Sep 5 2023Perdomo is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Sep 1 2023Perdomo is absent from the lineup Friday versus the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 29 2023Perdomo is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 25 2023Perdomo 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 24 2023Perdomo is absent from the lineup Thursday against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 21 2023Perdomo is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 16 2023Perdomo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 bat seventh.
Aug 13 2023Perdomo went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 12 2023Perdomo isn't in Arizona's lineup Saturday against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 11 2023Perdomo isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup Friday against the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 9 2023Perdomo is down to the ninth spot in the lineup Wednesday versus the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 8 2023Perdomo isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 7 2023Perdomo 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The road trip was rough for both team and Perdomo. After an extra-inning win over San Francisco to begin the excursion, Arizona lost its 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.
Aug 6 2023Perdomo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 2 2023Perdomo went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jul 25 2023Perdomo is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jul 22 2023Perdomo will sit Saturday against Cincinnati, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jul 19 2023Perdomo is absent from the lineup Wednesday at Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jul 16 2023Perdomo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jul 10 2023Perdomo went 0-for-2 with a walk, stolen base and run scored in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Pirates ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jul 9 2023Perdomo went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over Pittsburgh. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo swiped his 10th base in 73 games, surpassing the nine steals he had during his rookie 2022 season in 148 games.
Jul 7 2023Perdomo is not in the lineup Friday against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jul 2 2023Perdomo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 28 2023Perdomo is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 22 2023Perdomo went 1-for-5 with an RBI and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. He had three minor-league seasons in which he achieved double-digit steals.
Jun 20 2023Arizona 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." ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo batted leadoff for the third straight game in Monday's win over the Brewers and the fourth time in the past six games. It's unclear if Lovullo plans to have Perdomo rest atop the order against both lefties and righties, as the switch-hitting infielder has often sat out against southpaws. The one time Perdomo 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, the Diamondbacks have some desire to maintain a role for Nick Ahmed, who normally starts at shortstop against lefties.
Jun 19 2023Perdomo started at second base, batted leadoff and went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 12-3 loss to Cleveland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. Perdomo, a 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 before Perdomo. A note of caution, however, is that 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.
Jun 18 2023Perdomo batted leadoff and went 0-for-4 in Saturday's 6-3 win over Cleveland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pavin Smith had recently been the preferred leadoff hitter against right-handers, but manager Torey Lovullo vaulted Perdomo into the role from the lower third of the order. 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 a short sampling have been better than Smith's.
Jun 15 2023Perdomo 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 11 2023Perdomo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 10 2023Perdomo will sit Saturday against the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 7 2023Perdomo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With an .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.
Jun 3 2023Perdomo batted leadoff and went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a caught stealing in Friday's 3-2 win over Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 lineup 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.
May 29 2023Perdomo went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-2 win over Boston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 in 2022. The shortstop is a much better hitter overall his second time through MLB. Perdomo's slashing .304/.403/.522 through 41 games compared to the .214/.333/.274 line he had at this point during his rookie year.
May 26 2023Perdomo isn't starting Friday against Boston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
May 24 2023Perdomo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Philadelphia. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
May 20 2023Perdomo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 13-3 loss to the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 not the easy out he was last year. The Diamondbacks attribute his improvement to offseason work learning stay more grounded in his swing, according to Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic. Perdomo and Gabriel Moreno (.313/.341/.391) have shored up the bottom of the order for Arizona.
May 15 2023Perdomo went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, two runs scored and a walk in Monday's win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
May 11 2023Perdomo went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
May 7 2023Perdomo went 0-for-3 with two walks and two stolen bases in Sunday's 9-8 loss to the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
May 6 2023Perdomo will sit Saturday against southpaw MacKenzie Gore and the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
May 3 2023Perdomo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 30 2023Perdomo went 3-for-5 with one home run, four RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 campaign, a welcome sight for his fantasy managers following his .195/.285/.262 slash line last season.
Apr 30 2023Perdomo went 3-for-5 with one home run, four RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 28 2023Perdomo isn't starting Friday against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 5 2023Perdomo 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 basepaths, 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 what's to come in Arizona this summer. Perdomo is currently sharing the shortstop position with Nick Ahmed.
Apr 3 2023Perdomo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 1 2023Perdomo started at shortstop and went 0-for-1 with a walk in Friday's 2-1 win over the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Mar 17 2023Perdomo (chest) is back in the Diamondbacks' Cactus League lineup Friday against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Mar 16 2023Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Perdomo (chest) could return to Arizona's lineup "in the next day or so," Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Mar 15 2023Perdomo was forced to leave Wednesday's contest against the Brewers after colliding with Diego Castillo, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Feb 26 2023Perdomo went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's spring game against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Oct 1 2022Perdomo isn't starting Saturday against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo is in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak in which he's slashed .409/.417/.545 with a home run, four RBI, three runs, a stolen base, one walk and five strikeouts. He'll get a day off while Sergio Alcantara starts at shortstop and bats ninth.
Sep 27 2022Perdomo went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Sep 25 2022Perdomo is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Sep 20 2022Perdomo is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Sep 14 2022Perdomo went 1-for-3 in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo collected one 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.
Sep 2 2022Perdomo is out of the lineup for Friday's game versus the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 28 2022Perdomo went 2-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 10-5 victory over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 24 2022Perdomo isn't starting Wednesday against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 15 2022Perdomo is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 8 2022Perdomo went 1-for-3 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Monday's 3-0 win over the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 7 2022Perdomo is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 6 2022Perdomo 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 young shortstop whose batting average hovers is at .201 through 96 games. He also has a DRS of minus-6, ranking him as one of the Diamondbacks' worst defenders this year.
Aug 4 2022Perdomo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to Cleveland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo's ninth-inning blast was too little too late but made the final score 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.
Aug 2 2022Perdomo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jul 30 2022Perdomo went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 5-2 loss to Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jul 27 2022Perdomo will sit out Wednesday's series finale versus the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jul 10 2022Perdomo went 2-for-3 with a walk, two runs and two RBI in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jul 9 2022Perdomo went 2-for-3 with a walk and three runs scored in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo scored every time he reached base. The rookie shortstop, who is batting .202, maintains an acceptable .305 on-base percentage thanks to a 12.2 BB% (31 walks over 259 plate appearances). Perdomo is emerging from an 0-for-27 stretch, going 7-for-31 (.226) with a double, an RBI and six runs scored over his last nine games.
Jul 2 2022Perdomo went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 9-3 win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 28 2022Perdomo will sit Tuesday against the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo sits after going hitless in his last nine games. Jake Hager will take over at shortstop.
Jun 15 2022Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI on Wednesday against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 14 2022Perdomo 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 8 2022Perdomo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 7 2022Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a grand slam, an additional RBI and an additional run during Tuesday's 14-8 loss at Cincinnati. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 5 2022Perdomo went 1-for-3 with a walk in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Pittsburgh. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo, who is getting the bulk of time at shortstop with Nick Ahmed (illness) on the injured list, will continue to hold down the position for an undetermined amount of time. 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.
Jun 1 2022Perdomo isn't starting Wednesday's game against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
May 29 2022Perdomo went 1-for-3 with a triple and an RBI in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo hit the second of two Arizona triples in the second inning, driving in Jake McCarthy, who had tripled two batters before him. The RBI snapped an eight-game stretch 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.
May 17 2022Perdomo started at shortstop and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo stepped in for Nick Ahmed, who was added to the injured list Monday for an undisclosed reason. The rookie infielder should see most of the work at shortstop while Ahmed is unavailable.
May 11 2022Perdomo 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo was one of three consecutive bottom-of-the-order hitters to deliver two-out RBIs in Arizona's four-run third inning, which chased Miami starter Jesus Luzardo and provided separation for the Diamondbacks. A later single produced one of three runs in the eighth inning, giving Perdomo three RBI in 24 games. Hitting at the bottom of the order doesn't generate a lot of RBI opportunities for the infield prospect, who has has lost at-bats since Josh Rojas returned from injury. However, Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo jockeys the lineup so that Perdomo stays fresh. Tuesday was Perdomo's third start in the five games since Rojas was activated.
May 7 2022Perdomo remains on the Diamondbacks' roster following the activation of Josh Rojas from the injured list, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
May 3 2022Perdomo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
May 2 2022Perdomo'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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 suggests Perdomo will head back to Triple-A upon the veteran's return.
Apr 26 2022Perdomo started at third base and went 0-for-2 in Monday's 4-0 loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo, who has been getting practice reps at third base, made his first start there as a professional, 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. He handled all of his chances in the field, including the initiation of a double play that got starter Merrill Kelly out of a first-inning jam. If the Diamondbacks plan to keep the prospect on the MLB roster, it behooves them to give Perdomo a home where he can get consistent at-bats.
Apr 25 2022Perdomo 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 has bben slow out of the gate, batting just .169 (10-for-59) with worrisome Statcast metrics, but there are no plans to give Perdomo more than an occasional fill-in 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. If the bat remains hot, manager Torey Lovullo will need to find opportunities for him, most likely at third base.
Apr 24 2022Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 23 2022Perdomo will receive practice reps at third base, Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 he's never played professionally and one of weakness early on for Arizona.
Apr 22 2022Perdomo is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 20 2022Perdomo isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 16 2022Perdomo isn't starting Saturday's game against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 13 2022Perdomo will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 4 2022Perdomo'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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Mar 31 2022Perdomo went 2-for-2 with a solo home run in Wednesday's spring training game against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo entered the game in the seventh inning and finished out at shortstop, a position of interest after the Diamondbacks announced Nick Ahmed (shoulder) will 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.
Mar 29 2022Perdomo started at shortstop and went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's spring training game against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Sep 30 2021Perdomo started at shortstop and went 2-for-3 in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to San Francisco. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 build off the success he achieved in August at Double-A Amarillo while beginning 2022 at Triple-A Reno.
Sep 27 2021Perdomo started at shortstop and went 1-for-2 with a walk in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 went 5-for-12 with two walks prior to Sunday's callup.
Sep 26 2021Perdomo was recalled by the Diamondbacks on Sunday and will head straight into the starting lineup, batting eighth and playing shortstop against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 10 2021Perdomo was optioned to the Diamondbacks' alternate training site Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 7 2021Perdomo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game at Colorado. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Perdomo is 1-for-9 with one run, two walks and two strikeouts through his first three big-league games, and he will take a seat Wednesday. Josh Rojas is starting at shortstop while Eduardo Escobar and Asdrubal Cabrera start at second and third base, respectively.
Apr 4 2021Perdomo will start at shortstop and bat eighth Sunday against the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 starts 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.
Apr 3 2021Perdomo is being called up to the majors Saturday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Mar 16 2021The Diamondbacks optioned Perdomo to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 25 2020Perdomo will be a part of the Diamondbacks' taxi squad this season, Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: One of the DIamondbacks' top prospects and one of the most underrated prospects in all the minors, Perdomo has a chance to be Arizona's shortstop of the future. However, they have a very talented big-league roster as is, and Perdomo has never played above High-A, so he is unlikely to get significant playing time in the majors this season.
