Ahmed is out of the lineup Sunday against the Giants.

Ahmed will be replaced at shortstop by regular center fielder Chris Owings, while manager Chip Hale gives Chris Herrmann the start in center. It's a bit of an unorthodox lineup shuffle, so look for Ahmed and his .175/.239/.278 slash line to be back in action for Monday's series opener against the Yankees. That being said, Ahmed could be in line for more regular days off in the near future, according to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. With Michael Bourn now on the active roster, Owings could be in line to see more starts at shortstop, with those starts likely coming at Ahmed's expense.
