Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Logs two hits, run in loss
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.

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.
