Nick Ahmed Out Five Days With Forearm Injury
2 years agoArizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed (forearm) will be out for at least the next five days with tightness/inflammation in his left forearm. There's no reason to believe he'll miss an extended period of time, but he was given a cortisone injection to reduce the inflammation. Ahmed has missed time each of the last three years since he jammed his right shoulder diving for a ball in 2020. He played in only 17 games in 2022 before having surgery on his shoulder. Geraldo Perdomo saw most of the starts at the 6 in Ahmed's absence last year, and the two are expected to battle for playing time this spring. Arizona also has Diego Castillo and Blaze Alexander that can play the position if Ahmed misses significant time again in 2023.
