Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Steals base in loss
Rotowire
Perdomo went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Padres.
Perdomo stole second base with one out in the third inning but the Diamondbacks were unable to advance him. It was the ninth steal of the season and the first in 17 games for Perdomo. Arizona faces a must-win scenario Sunday to give it a chance at the postseason, so manager Torey Lovullo will want his best, likely including Perdomo, in the lineup.

Rotowire
Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 6-3 loss to San Francisco.
Perdomo moved up the order to bat second, as Ketel Marte was held out of the starting lineup in a preventative measure. The double was the career-high 21st for Perdomo, who also has career bests in batting average (.276) and slugging percentage (.382). This is not the same hitter that batted .195 in 2022, his first full season in the majors.

Rotowire
Perdomo batted leadoff and went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Thursday's 3-2 loss to San Francisco.
Perdomo led off the game with a single and eventually scored. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo has moved Perdomo to the leadoff spot against lefties -- he batted second against a right-hander Wednesday -- but he'll likely slide back down the order when Ketel Marte (ankle) returns, which could come as soon as this weekend. Perdomo is 7-for-18 with four RBI and five runs scored over the last five games.

Rotowire
Perdomo went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional run and a double in Wednesday's 10-8 win against Miami.

The long ball was the infielder's first extra-base hit of any sort over his past 10 games, though he's been reaching base consistently of late with six hits and three walks across his past 20 plate appearances.

Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Logs two walks, steal in win
Rotowire
Perdomo batted second and went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Tuesday's 3-1 win over Miami.
Perdomo logged his fifth steal of the season in the eighth inning but was stranded at second base. Tuesday's contest marked the fourth time in the last nine games in which Perdomo slotted into the upper third of the lineup. He typically bats eighth or ninth, but a strong month of August (.302/.389/.413) could get Perdomo more opportunities higher in the order.
Perdomo batted leadoff and went 2-for-5 with a walk in Sunday's 8-7 extra-innings loss to Tampa Bay.
Perdomo was moved into the leadoff spot for the third time in the last seven games. Sunday's start was against a right-hander while the previous two were against lefties. Corbin Carroll, who has been the primary leadoff batter against right-handers, slotted at second in the order. The batting order adjustments appear to be related to the ongoing ankle issues that Ketel Marte is experiencing. He aggravated the injury Sunday during a pinch hitting appearance after returning Saturday as a DH.
