Perdomo is being called up to the majors Saturday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

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.

Camargo was recalled ahead of Saturday's game against the Phillies.

Ehire Adrianza was placed on the injured list as he goes through COVID-19 protocols, so Camargo will serve as the team's utility infielder in the meantime.

Adrianza (COVID protocols) was placed on the injured list Saturday.

He was away from the team Friday for a personal reason and must now go through COVID-19 protocols before being activated. Johan Camargo was recalled in a corresponding move.

Seager went 3-for-5 with a walk, a double, three runs scored and an RBI in Friday's 11-6 win over the Rockies.

The shortstop is off to a blistering start to the campaign, reaching base eight times in his first 11 plate appearances, but opening the season in Coors Field can have that effect. Seager has every incentive to match or top last year's .943 OPS with free agency looming, and hitting near the top of a potent Dodgers lineup should provide him with plenty of opportunities to produce big counting stats in 2021.

Crawford went 0-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 6-3 win over the Mariners.

Crawford got on base for the first time this season with a walk in the seventh inning. He then advanced to second on a Mike Yastrzemski walk and stole third before scoring on Donovan Solano's two-run double. The 34-year-old Crawford had a solid bounce-back campaign in 2020 with eight homers, 28 RBI, 26 runs scored and a .256/.326/.465 slash line in 54 games. He remains the Giants' primary shortstop in 2021, but he's expected to continue hitting near the bottom of the order.

Ahmed, who is out of Friday's lineup against the Padres, said he hopes his knee issue won't linger all season, Jody Jackson of FOX Sports Arizona reports.

He is not yet ready to make his season debut, as it sounds like Ahmed is hoping to get as healthy as possible before taking the field in an effort to get over the knee soreness that bothered him all spring. Ahmed received a platelet-rich plasma injection in late March, which is always an ominous sign. It seems likely that he will get into a game fairly soon, but it also seems possible that this knee issue could affect his performance this season.

Ahmed (knee) will remain on the bench Friday against the Padres.

Ahmed battled knee soreness throughout March but made the Opening Day roster, suggesting his season debut should be coming soon. Previous reports indicated that debut could come Friday, but if it does, it won't be happening at the start of the game. Josh Rojas remains the starter at shortstop in his absence.

Seager went 2-for-3 with two walks and an RBI on Thursday against the Rockies.

Seager reached base four times on Opening Day, highlighted by an RBI single in the eighth inning. He didn't provide any extra-base hits, but it was still a strong start to the campaign for Seager after he posted a career-best 152 wRC+ in 2020.

Owings went 3-for-3 with a triple, a walk, two stolen bases and three runs scored Thursday against the Dodgers.

Owings got the opportunity to start at second base with a southpaw on the mound, pushing Garrett Hampson to the outfield while Sam Hilliard and Ryan McMahon sat on the bench. He put together an impressive performance thanks to his on-base ability and aggressive baserunning. When the Rockies are facing righties on the mound, Owings doesn't figure to have a regular spot in the order, though his playing time is worth monitoring -- particularly when the team is at Coors Field.

Ahmed (knee) could make his season debut Friday, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Ahmed, who was hobbled by knee soreness for much of March, was unavailable for Opening Day in San Diego, but manager Torey Lovullo left open the possibility that he could play Friday. "We'll keep pushing it back 24 hours and keep having the same conversation," Lovullo said. Josh Rojas filled in at shortstop Thursday.
