Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Giants.
Perdomo's second-inning double must have felt good. It was the shortstop's first hit since Sept. 7, a span of 25 at-bats without one. He's on the strong side of a platoon with rookie Jordan Lawlar, both of whom are struggling during September. Perdomo is batting .119 (5-for-42) and Lawlar is at .150 (3-for-20) for the month.

Rotowire
Perdomo entered Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Cubs for an injured Ketel Marte (knee), played second base, and walked in his lone plate appearance.
Marte was hit by a pitch in the first inning but stayed in the game until the seventh, when the knee stiffened on him. Perdomo is expected to return to the starting lineup Sunday and could play either middle infield position. Both Marte and shortstop Jordan Lawlar (hand) were hit by pitches and are considered day-to-day heading into the series finale.

Rotowire

The switch-hitting Perdomo had been the primary starter at shortstop against right-handers.

Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Swats homer Sunday
Rotowire
Perdomo went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Padres.
Perdomo hasn't done well in August, as this was his first multi-hit effort of the month. He's gone 7-for-30 (.233) over his last 11 contests. The shortstop is still seeing a starting role against right-handers, but he's been at the bottom of the lineup in his last two games. Perdomo has a .270/.371/.405 slash line with six homers, 38 RBI, 50 runs scored and 13 stolen bases over 100 contests, but it's tough to see him rebounding well enough to bump Corbin Carroll out of the leadoff spot.
