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.

Anderson went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 12-8 win over the Angels.

Anderson's solo homer was part of a five-run, ninth-inning barrage that sealed the win for the White Sox. He had 10 homers in 49 games last season and should put up the second 20-homer season of his career if he remains healthy.

Wendle went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 6-4 win over the Marlins.

With Tampa down 4-2 in the ninth inning, Wendle crushed an offering from presumptive Miami closer Anthony Bass into the second deck in right field to flip the script. The 30-year-old utility player has never hit more than seven homers in a season and managed only four in 50 games last year, but Wendle made his first blast count 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.

Adames is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins.

Adames started at shortstop Opening Day and will take a seat after going 1-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts. Joey Wendle will take over at shortstop for Tampa Bay with Yandy Diaz working at the hot corner.
