Geraldo Perdomo's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo (knee) had surgery on Monday to fix a torn meniscus in his right knee after being placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Manager Torey Lovullo said the surgery went well. Perdomo is "bummed" and hopes to be back next month. The D-backs brought up infielder Kevin Newman from Triple-A Reno, but Blaze Alexander is expected to see most of the playing time at the 6 in Perdomo's absence, with Jace Peterson also an option at the position. In six games at Reno, Newman hit .364/.407/.636 with a home run and seven RBI. The 24-year-old Perdomo injured his knee on April 3 while rounding the bases in extra innings and is expected to miss at least a month of action.

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo (knee) has been diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his right knee and will require surgery, likely keeping him out at least a month. Rookie Blaze Alexander figures to get much of the playing time, but the club is also expected to select the contract of Kevin Newman from Triple-A Reno. Veteran Jace Peterson is another option for the Snakes at the 6 until Perdomo is able to return in around a month. The 24-year-old Perdomo injured his knee on Wednesday and hasn't appeared since. Alexander, 24, has seen some time already this year against left-handed pitchers and has gone 5-for-18 (.278) with a homer, three RBI and a stolen base in his first six big-league games, but now he'll be playing regularly, making him worth a look in deep-mixed fantasy leagues for middle-infield depth.

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Geraldo Perdomo (knee) could be looking at missing additional time after suffering an injury during Wednesday's game. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that Perdomo is likely to undergo an MRI on his injured knee after experiencing additional discomfort on Friday. The hope was that this was a day-to-day issue, but it could result in a trip to the injured list. Jace Peterson is starting at shortstop on Friday. The expectation is that Peterson and Blaze Alexander will split up the playing time at the 6 until Perdomo returns. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update after the MRI.

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo (knee) is out of the team's starting lineup as they face the Braves in Atlanta on Friday. Perdomo left the team's game early on Wednesday against the New York Yankees and was diagnosed with right-knee discomfort. For now, fantasy managers should consider the 24-year-old to be day-to-day and check back on his availability on Saturday for the second game of the series. The Dominican infielder has six hits in his first 24 at-bats on the year with two RBI and three runs scored for the Snakes. Veteran Jace Peterson will start at the 6 on Friday and hit eighth in the lineup against Braves right-hander Spencer Strider. Against one of the best pitchers in the game, we'd recommend avoiding Peterson in DFS.UPDATE: Perdomo looked good but didn't feel good on Friday, manager Torey Lovullo said. Perdomo experienced enough discomfort that he'll likely undergo an MRI exam on Saturday.

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo (knee) left Wednesday's extra-inning loss to the New York Yankees in the 10th inning and was walking with a slight limp. He started hobbling halfway to second base and stood on the bag hunched over for a while before leaving the game. The Arizona Republic's Theo Mackie suggests it could have been Perdomo's knee, which he had a minor issue with during spring training. Before leaving, Perdomo went 0-for-4 with an RBI and two strikeouts in the 6-5 loss. If the 24-year-old is forced to miss any time because of the injury, expect Blaze Alexander to see most of the playing time at shortstop for Arizona. Until we know more on Perdomo's injury, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. The D-backs are off on Thursday before heading to Atlanta to face the Braves on Friday.UPDATE: Perdomo is officially listed as day-to-day with right-knee discomfort.
