Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Out of lineup Tuesday
Rotowire
Perdomo (knee) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.
Perdomo was removed from Monday's game against Colorado with left knee soreness and needs another day to recover. With Perdomo on the bench, Ildemaro Vargas is starting at shortstop and batting eighth Tuesday.
Perdomo left Monday's game against Colorado due to left knee soreness.
This appears to be a minor issue for Perdomo, who went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run before exiting. He'll presumably be re-evaluated Tuesday morning and can be considered day-to-day. Manager Torey Lovullo stated after the game that Perdomo is fine, but he could get the next day or two off as a precaution, per Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic. Ildemaro Vargas would be in line for more looks at shortstop if Perdomo misses additional time.
