Ahmed was given a day off Friday to try to get him back on track offensively, Scott Bordow of the Arizona Republic reports.
The shortstop is hitting just .190 so far this season. Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale said Ahmed is "pressing a little bit. He just has to dial it back." Jean Segura shifted over to short from second on Friday, while Brandon Drury started at second. If Ahmed continues to struggle at the dish, the Diamondbacks may turn to the Segura/Drury combo more often.
