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

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo (knee) will start his minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on Wednesday. This was the original plan after Perdomo started taking at-bats in the Arizona Complex League over the weekend. Perdomo will now face stiffer competition at Reno and could be cleared to return from the 10-day injured list later this week if he doesn't suffer any setbacks with his knee. The Snakes have used a combination of rookie Blaze Alexander and more recently veteran Kevin Newman at shortstop since losing Perdomo to a knee injury early in April. The 24-year-old Perdomo will return to starting duties at the 6 in the desert when he's fully healthy after being named to his first career All-Star team in 2023 with a .246/.353/.359 slash line, six homers, 47 RBI and 16 steals in 144 games.

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo (knee) is set to begin a minor-league rehab assignment early next week. Before that, Perdomo will play in the Arizona Complex League this weekend. The 24-year-old switch-hitter tore the right meniscus in his knee on April 3 against the New York Yankees after previously tweaking his knee in spring training. He's been out ever since after requiring surgery but could be nearing a return after being named an All-Star in 2023 while finishing second on the team in on-base percentage (.353). After Blaze Alexander got the first shot at the 6 with Perdomo hurt, veteran Kevin Newman has since taken over and has been a solid replacement. When Perdomo returns, the D-backs have made it clear that he will remain the starter at shortstop.

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that the team is planning to get shortstop Geraldo Perdomo (knee) into live games "very, very shortly" as he continues his rehab process. Perdomo has taken live at-bats but hasn't run the bases yet. Once the 24-year-old shortstop is cleared to go on a minor-league rehab assignment, he might not be far away from being reinstated from the injured list to rejoin Arizona's big-league roster. Still, fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to return until the calendar flips to June. When he's back in the desert, Perdomo should take over regular duties at the 6 for the D-backs. He was hitting .250 (6-for-24) with no homers and two RBI at the time of his injury in early April. Kevin Newman and Blaze Alexander have seen playing time at shortstop since Perdomo went down. Perdomo will first start playing in live games in the Arizona Complex League before likely going on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno.
