"Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo Out with Torn Meniscus"

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo will undergo surgery for a torn meniscus, sidelining him for at least a month. Rookie Blaze Alexander is expected to take over at shortstop, with veteran Kevin Newman likely to join the roster. Perdomo's injury adds to the team's shortstop woes, as top prospect Jordan Lawlar is also out with an injury. Alexander, known for his strong defense and on-base skills, will fill in, with Newman as a backup option.
