Perdomo went 1-for-2 with two walks, a stolen base, two RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 6-4 win at Miami.
After launching his third homer of the season Wednesday -- already matching his 2024 total -- Perdomo followed it up with another productive performance in Thursday's series finale. The shortstop has been one of the biggest surprises in baseball early in 2025, as he's tied for fifth in MLB with 18 RBI and has a .317/.427/.492 slash line through 84 plate appearances.

Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Cracks homer in win
Rotowire
Perdomo went 1-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 10-4 win over Marlins.
After Corbin Carroll doubled home the first run of Arizona's four-run second inning, Perdomo capped it with a three-run blast deep to right field. It was the shortstop's third homer through 17 games, matching last season's total over 98 games, and he's halfway to the career-high six he hit in 2023 (144 games). Perdomo leads Arizona with 16 RBI.

Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Moving up to leadoff spot
Rotowire
Perdomo is hitting atop Arizona's batting order for Saturday's game against the Nationals.
Arizona used either Ketel Marte (hamstring) or Corbin Carroll to bat leadoff in each of the team's first eight games, but with Marte landing on the injured list Saturday morning, Perdomo will get a chance to hit atop the order. The 25-year-old shortstop has certainly looked the part of a leadoff hitter so far this season, slashing .379/.375/.552 with a home run, 11 RBI, five runs and two stolen bases through 33 plate appearances. Carroll will bat second Saturday after hitting leadoff in half of the team's initial eight contests.

Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Hot start continues with grand slam
Rotowire
Perdomo went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Thursday's 9-7 loss to the Yankees.
The Diamondbacks were in a 9-3 hole in the seventh inning, but Perdomo provided some life with a blast into the short porch in right field at Yankee Stadium. It was the 25-year-old switch hitter's first homer of the year as he batted out of the No. 2 spot while Ketel Marte got Thursday night off, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to have such a favorable lineup position most days. Perdomo is still off to a strong start in 2025, batting .320 with 11 RBI, three runs scored and one stolen base over 25 at-bats (seven games).
Perdomo batted second and went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 10-6 win over the Cubs.
The Diamondbacks appeared headed for a third loss in the four-game series against the Cubs, but they erupted for eight runs in the eighth inning to erase a 6-2 deficit. Perdomo started the fun with a double up the alley in right-center to plate two runs. The shortstop has hit safely in all four games to start the season and has five RBI. He normally hits down the order but was moved up to second with Corbin Carroll not in Sunday's starting lineup.

Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Steals base in loss
Rotowire
Perdomo went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Padres.
Perdomo stole second base with one out in the third inning but the Diamondbacks were unable to advance him. It was the ninth steal of the season and the first in 17 games for Perdomo. Arizona faces a must-win scenario Sunday to give it a chance at the postseason, so manager Torey Lovullo will want his best, likely including Perdomo, in the lineup.

Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Two hits in loss
Rotowire
Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 6-3 loss to San Francisco.
Perdomo moved up the order to bat second, as Ketel Marte was held out of the starting lineup in a preventative measure. The double was the career-high 21st for Perdomo, who also has career bests in batting average (.276) and slugging percentage (.382). This is not the same hitter that batted .195 in 2022, his first full season in the majors.

Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Swats second homer
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.
Perdomo entered Wednesday with just one homer through 63 games, but he displayed some unexpected power to provide an insurance run with a solo blast in the eighth inning. The long ball was the infielder's first extra-base hit of any sort over his past 10 games, though he's been reaching base consistently of late with six hits and three walks across his past 20 plate appearances. Perdomo's overall .281 batting average on the campaign is on pace for a career-best mark.

Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Logs three hits, two RBI in win
Rotowire
Perdomo went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 17-0 win over the Nationals.
Perdomo joined the Diamondbacks' 22-hit attack with his second straight multi-hit game. He drove in Arizona's third run with a single then doubled home the team's 13th tally.

Perdomo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.
After going hitless in the final two games of the Diamondbacks' series against the Cubs this past weekend, Perdomo will get a breather as Arizona's road trip moves to Kansas City. Kevin Newman will step in for Perdomo at shortstop and will bat eighth.

Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Activated from IL
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks reinstated Perdomo (knee) from the injured list Tuesday.
Perdomo suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee in early April, but after roughly two months of recovery and a seven-game rehab assignment, he's ready to return to Arizona's lineup. The 24-year-old infielder went 3-for-22 with four RBI during his assignment, playing three games in the Arizona Complex League and four games with Triple-A Reno. Despite his struggles, he figures to start regularly at shortstop for the D-backs. Pavin Smith was optioned to Reno in a corresponding move.
The Diamondbacks are expected to activate Perdomo (knee) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
Perdomo has been sidelined since early April following surgery on his right meniscus, but he's ready to rejoin the big club after seven rehab games, the last four of which came at Triple-A Reno. Gambadoro relays that the Diamondbacks aren't prepared to remove the struggling Eugenio Suarez from the roster to make room for Perdomo. Kevin Newman or Blaze Alexander could be at risk of losing their spots on the active roster, though Newman would have to be exposed to waivers if he's sent out of Arizona in a corresponding transaction.

Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Moving rehab to Triple-A
Rotowire
Perdomo (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on Wednesday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Perdomo was cleared for at-bats in the Arizona Complex League over the weekend, and the club has since determined that he's ready to face stronger competition. He'll likely play at least a few games at Triple-A before being activated from the 10-day injured list.
Perdomo (knee) has started to take live at-bats, hit in the cages and field ground balls, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.
Perdomo, who's putting in five-to-seven hours per day while rehabbing at Salt River Fields, expressed optimism that he'll return by the end of the month. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo is not ready to put a timeline on the shortstop's return, but acknowledged Perdomo looks good executing the work he's currently doing. Next up, per the manager, is getting spikes on Perdomo's feet and having him run, cut, make turns and the agility to start and stop.
Manager Torey Lovullo said Saturday that Perdomo (knee) has been fielding live groundballs and has also resumed throwing, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Perdomo still has yet to resume hitting, as the Diamondbacks are going to take a cautious approach with his rehab just three weeks removed from knee surgery. The 24-year-old infielder remains without a definite return timeline, but Lovullo noted he is encouraged by the progress Perdomo has made so far.
