LOS ANGELES -- D-backs shortstop Nick Ahmed will likely be unavailable -- at least until Arizona's series against the Padres this weekend, manager Chip Hale said before Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
Ahmed left Tuesday night's win in the seventh inning with a lower back injury sustained while making a brilliant diving stop and throw to retire Chris Heisey at second base. But Ahmed said he was feeling much better on Wednesday.
"The pain is still there, but it's manageable, and I'll hopefully keep getting better and get some more mobility the next couple of days," Ahmed said.
