Diamondbacks Missing Star Shortstop Perdomo

0:00On April 28th, the Arizona Diamondbacks are missing their star shortstop, Gerardo Predomo, for Tuesday night's series opener against the Milwaukee. Brewers, he sprained his left ankle in the first game of their Mexico City series against the San Diego Padres and sat out after an off day on Wednesday. Manager Tori LeVulo thought he dodged the injured list, but Predomo remains day to day. That injury hit during a botched double play and a rough seventh inning, and he couldn't put full weight on it while walking off with the trainer. No word yet if he's available off the bench tonight, though another day or two might get him back, or it could mean an injured list trip. The line of shifts put rookie Jose Fernandez back a shortstop, where he had a throwing air last time, but stayed solid overall. First baseman Ildemaro Vargas leads off, followed by Kettle Marte at second, Corbin Carroll and Wright and Lorde Scuriel Jr. in left. Catcher Adrian Del Castillo returns as designated hitter.

1:01After dislocating his ring finger last game, looks minor since he's not catching. On the mound, Merrill Kelly makes his third start this season, chasing better results after giving up eight runs in 4.1 innings last, outing. His velocity is fine, but commands off, so he needs to paint the edges against the less scary Brewers lineup. Fans hope Predomo bounces back quick to steady that infield, keeping the D-backs rolling without bigger setbacks. That's the story for today. MLB News Today, driven by AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
