[AZ Central] Ahmed hoping to avoid injury - Nick Ahmed is wearing padded wrist guards during his at-bats this spring. He also has begun to wear a face guard that connects to his batting helmet. Ahmed says the extra precautions stem from the fact that injuries are doubly bad in that they’re harmful to both the player and the team. “We all do the other stuff – the hydration, the nutrition, the training,” Ahmed said. “You might as well do some stuff for injuries that are preventable to a certain degree. There are still going to be some freak things you can’t protect yourself from, but hopefully the little things you can avoid, we’re all going to try to do.
