Bats Third for Diamondbacks in Matchup Against Mets

Geraldo Perdomo is starting at shortstop and batting third for the Arizona Diamondbacks in their Thursday matchup against the New York Mets. Perdomo continues to be a reliable presence in the middle of the Arizona infield and batting order. His ability to reach base and provide steady defense is a major component of the Diamondbacks' strategy as they look to take the series from the Mets. He remains a key young leader for the club during this early stretch of the season.
