Nick Ahmed absent from Arizona lineup against Marlins

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Nick Ahmed is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Sandy Alcantara and the Miami Marlins.

What It Means:

Ahmed is out of the lineup for the second time in three games as he is currently in a 2-for-24 rut at the plate. Geraldo Perdomo is covering shortstop on Wednesday while Seth Beers enters the lineup to handle the designated hitter role and bat seventh.

numberFire’s models project Beer for 8.6 FanDuel points on Wednesday, and he has a $2,200 salary.
