Shortstop Geraldo Perdomo is not in the Arizona Diamondbacks’ starting lineup on Sunday, but he’s not expected to need a stint on the injured list, manager Torey Lovullo said.
Perdomo left Saturday’s game in the seventh inning due to a left ankle sprain, but Lovullo “feels strongly” the D-backs shortstop will avoid the IL “based on how his ankle felt (Sunday) morning,” The Arizona Republic’s Nick Piecoro reported.
Each team is permitted to bring up a 27th player for the Mexico City Series this weekend. With the Perdomo injury, the Diamondbacks opted to call on infielder Jesus Valdez from Double-A Amarillo before Sunday’s game against the San Diego Padres.

Teams typically receive the opportunity to call up a 27th man for doubleheaders, during which the player gets a day of MLB service time and returns to the minor leagues when the games are over. Players brought up for doubleheaders are not subject to the 10-day (position players) or 15-day (pitchers) minimum days they must remain in the minor leagues after getting optioned.
San Diego recalled infielder Sung-Mun Song, who has yet to make his MLB debut after signing with the Padres this past offseason from South Korea.
Valdez is not in the Diamondbacks’ starting lineup on Sunday, but he will be an option off the bench. With Perdomo out of the lineup, infielder Ildemaro Vargas will lead off and Jose Fernandez will play shortstop.
Perdomo had led off for the previous two games.
