Adames went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Mariners.

Adames took Emerson Hancock deep to left in the fourth which wound up knocking the 25-year-old pitcher from the game. It's now his second home run in his last three games, as he now has 82 home runs since 2021 which is the most by any shortstop in the majors. Adames has been seen the ball exceptionally well early on, slashing .300/.400/.533 with a 5:4 BB:K in 35 plate appearances.

Lindor went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Reds.

Lindor entered the game mired in a 1-for-31 slump but doubled that hit total Sunday, including driving a 2-1 fourth-inning pitch from Andrew Abbott over the left field wall for his first home run of the season. After posting his fourth 30-home-run season and first 30/30 campaign last year, it was only a matter of time before Lindor would break out of his early-season slumber.

Hamilton went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's win over the Angels.

Hamilton's solo shot in the third inning was the first of four on the day for the Red Sox. It was his season debut after starting the year with Triple-A Worcester. He posted a .750 OPS with two long balls there before the promotion. He should continue seeing some big-league playing time with Trevor Story (shoulder) out.

De La Cruz went 0-for-2 with a walk and stole two bases in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Mets.

De La Cruz saw an end to his eight-game hit streak to the start the season, but he managed to make an impact. He stole the two bases after a sixth-inning walk but was left stranded at third. The infielder ranks fifth in MLB with five steals.

DeJong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Kansas City.

DeJong started the first two games of the series but will head to the bench for Sunday's finale after going 1-for-6 with a double and three strikeouts. Braden Shewmake will receive the start at shortstop as the pair continue to split playing time.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's win over Washington.

Turner doubled in his first at-bat before coming around to score on a J.T. Realmuto home run two batters later. The star shortstop then added an infield single and swiped a bag in the eighth, giving him three steals on the season. Turner has now hit safely in seven of nine games to open the 2024 campaign but is still looking for his first home run.

The Diamondbacks placed Perdomo (knee) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

As expected, Perdomo was deactivated after Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reported earlier Sunday that the shortstop was diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his right knee. Perdomo will need surgery and is expected to miss at least one month, with a firmer target date set to come into focus once he's cleared to resume baseball activities. Arizona selected Kevin Newman's contract from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move to add depth to the middle infield in the interim, but rookie Blaze Alexander may be the top candidate to replace Perdomo as the Diamondbacks' everyday shortstop.

Abrams (finger) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

The 23-year-old shortstop was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to a bone bruise of his left pinky finger, and he'll sit for the second straight game Sunday. Abrams should be considered day-to-day as Ildemaro Vargas receives a start at shortstop.

Neto went 2-for-4 with a stolen base against the Red Sox in Saturday's 2-1 win.

Neto was productive from the bottom of the order in a game during which the Angels managed just six hits. The 23-year-old collected his second multi-hit game of the campaign, both of which have come over his past three contests. It's been a slow start for Neto, as he's slashing .241/.267/.310 with no homers and four RBI through 30 plate appearances. Saturday's theft was his first successful stolen base in three attempts.

Perdomo was diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his right knee Sunday and will require surgery, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

The 24-year-old hasn't seen the field since Wednesday due to the injury and is now expected to be sidelined for at least the next month. Perdomo should officially move to the injured list shortly. Blaze Alexander appears set to fill in at shortstop for Arizona, though veteran Kevin Newman is also expected to have his contract selected from Triple-A Reno.
