Perdomo started at third base and went 0-for-2 in Monday's 4-0 loss to the Dodgers.

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.

Adames went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Giants.

Adames came through in the bottom of the eighth inning with a solo blast that tied the game at 2-2, but the Brewers would cough up the lead in the ninth. Monday's long ball marks Adames' first home run since April 10 against the Cubs, and it could be a sign that he's ready to bust out of an early slump. The shortstop is slashing .194/.296/.323 through his first 17 games of 2022.

Williams was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

Williams was sent to the minors last week, but he'll rejoin the Giants to provide depth after Mike Yastrzemski (illness) was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Monday. Williams has appeared in five major-league games this year and has gone 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a strikeout.

DeJong isn't starting Monday's game against the Mets, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

DeJong has gone 0-for-9 with a walk and six strikeouts in his last three appearances, and he'll be out of the lineup for the third time in the last four games. Edmundo Sosa will start at shortstop and bat seventh.

Wendle went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles and an RBI in Sunday's win over Atlanta.

His seventh-inning two-bagger brought home Garrett Cooper for what at the time seemed like an insurance run, but it wound up being the difference in a 5-4 victory. Wendle has been on a tear to begin his tenure with the Marlins, slashing .341/.396/.455 through 13 games with five doubles, two steals, five RBI and six runs. He has multiple hits in three of his past five games.

Perdomo 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.

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.

Ahmed started at shortstop and went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a double in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Mets.

As part of a plan to ease Ahmed back into the lineup after missing the start of the season with a shoulder injury, he returned to the lineup Sunday after a planned off-day Saturday. After going hitless in his debut Friday, the 32-year-old infielder collected his first hits of the season Sunday. It's unclear how long the Diamondbacks plan to ease the shortstop back into a more consistent presence in the lineup.

Camargo will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Brewers, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Alec Bohm appears to have seized hold of the everyday role at third base, but Camargo has still been able to pick up playing time in the infield thanks to Didi Gregorius' (hand) ongoing absence. He'll man shortstop for the fourth game in a row, though Camargo could see his opportunities dwindle while moving back into a utility role in the coming days if Gregorius is able to avoid a trip to the injured list.

Abrams is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Abrams will once again head to the bench against a left-handed starting pitcher. Ha-Seong Kim will start at shortstop with Clayton Kershaw on the mound for Los Angeles.

Castillo will bat leadoff and start in right field Sunday against the Cubs.

The 24-year-old will start in right field the second straight game and could see increased time there moving forward after the Pirates designated Anthony Alford for assignment. It's also the first time batting leadoff for Castillo, who has a .250/.250/.361 slash line with one home run, three RBI and four runs through his first 10 big-league games.
