Perdomo was optioned to the Diamondbacks' alternate training site Saturday.

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.

Ahmed (knee) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.

Ahmed dealt with right knee inflammation late in spring training that forced him to miss the start of the regular season, but he'll be eligible to make his season debut early as Saturday. Ahmed should take over as the Diamondbacks' everyday shortstop once again now that he's healthy.

Owings was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left thumb sprain Saturday.

Owings has been dealing with a tight hamstring recently, but he's now also managing a thumb injury that will force him to miss at least 10 days. It's not yet clear when Owings will be able to return to action, but Alan Trejo's contract was selected by the Rockies in a corresponding move. Trejo will serve as a bench option with Owings and Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) sidelined.

Owings is still dealing with hamstring tightness Saturday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Owings lined a triple as a pinch hitter in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Giants, but manager Bud Black revealed Saturday that the 29-year-old is still receiving treatment for a tight hamstring. The team continues to monitor Owings' progress closely, and he should be considered day-to-day.

Ahmed (knee) is expected to be activated off the injured list this weekend, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

The Diamondbacks welcomed back Kole Calhoun on Friday and could get another regular back if Ahmed is deemed ready. Josh Rojas has been filling in at shortstop, but after an 0-for-4 on Friday, he's batting just .074.

Crawford went 1-for-4 with a two-RBI double in Friday's 3-1 win over the Rockies.

The Giants couldn't get much going against Rockies starter Austin Gomber until the seventh inning. With the bases loaded, Crawford sent a double to right-center field, scoring Darin Ruf and Buster Posey to give Giants starter Johnny Cueto all the run support he needed. The 34-year-old Crawford hasn't hit very well to start the year with a .136/.174/.318 slash line, a homer, three RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base across 23 plate appearances. Nonetheless, the veteran shortstop should have a long leash before he would lose playing time to Donovan Solano or Mauricio Dubon.

Owings (hamstring) hit a triple and scored a run in his only at-bat as a pinch hitter in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Giants.

The 29-year-old entered the game in the ninth inning for pitcher Jordan Sheffield and hit a triple before coming around to score on Garrett Hampson's sacrifice fly for the Rockies' lone run of the game. The hamstring isn't expected to keep Owings out of the starting lineup for long. He'll be welcomed back, as he has a .533/.588/1.133 slash line across 17 plate appearances. He's produced six runs scored, three RBI, two stolen bases, three triples and three doubles.

Adrianza (personal) was reinstated from the restricted list prior to Friday's game against the Phillies.

He missed a week while going through COVID-19 protocols and attending to a personal matter. Adrianza is not in the lineup Friday and should resume a bench role going forward.

Camargo was optioned to the alternate site Friday.

Ehire Adrianza was reinstated from the restricted list, so Camargo's services as a bench infielder were no longer needed. He will provide depth throughout the campaign.

Edman went 1-for-4 with a triple in a win over the Brewers on Thursday.

The 25-year-old extended his hitting streak to five games with the three-bagger, his first of the season after lacing eight over his first two big-league campaigns. Edman has been a hit in the leadoff spot thus far, posting a .344 on-base percentage and stealing a pair of bases over his first 32 plate appearances.
