Diamondbacks' Jace Peterson: Makes rare start
Jace Peterson started at shortstop and went 0-for-3 in Thursday's 5-0 loss to the Giants.Peterson, who extended a hitless run to 18 at-bats, made just his fourth start of the season. The lack of opportunities may explain his .045 batting average. At the time of shortstop Geraldo Perdomo's knee injury earlier this month, the lefty-hitting Peterson was in position to fill a strong side of a platoon, but that never materialized. Both Kevin Newman and Blaze Alexander continue to get work against right-handers.

Diamondbacks' Jace Peterson: Starts at shortstop
Jace Peterson started at shortstop and went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to Atlanta.With primary shortstop Geraldo Perdomo (knee) dealing with right knee discomfort -- and expected to undergo an MRI on Saturday -- the lefty-hitting Peterson filled in at shortstop against Atlanta right-hander Spencer Strider. Peterson was eventually pinch hit for by Blaze Alexander in the eighth inning against lefty Aaron Bummer. It's unclear how long Perdomo will be unavailable, and shortstop should be covered by a combination of Peterson (against righties) and Alexander (lefties). Atlanta is throwing left-hander Max Fried on Saturday.

Diamondbacks' Jace Peterson: Could be needed at shortstop
Jace Peterson could be needed to fill-in at shortstop if Geraldo Perdomo's knee injury prevents him from playing Friday. Peterson went 0-for-2 after entering Wednesday's extra-innings loss to the Yankees as a pinch hitter and second baseman.Perdomo was injured while rounding first base and removed from the game in the 10th inning. He'll get some time to heal with a day off Thursday before a weekend series in Atlanta. If the injury lingers, the lefty-hitting Peterson and righty Blaze Alexander are poised to start, likely depending on the handedness of the opposing starter. Right-hander Spencer Strider is scheduled to throw for Atlanta on Friday.
