Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Placed on 15-day DL

Ahmed was placed on the 15-day DL on Saturday due to a right hip impingement.

Analysis:

The Diamondbacks swapped out shortstops on the DL on Saturday, as Chris Owings was activated in a corresponding move. Ahmed's 43 wRC+ is the lowest mark in baseball among hitters with at least 300 plate appearances, and the next closest player is Alcides Escobar with a wRC+ of 60, so Ahmed is on his own level of offensive futility. Owings should get the bulk of the starts at shortstop for the Diamondbacks while Ahmed is out.
