LOS ANGELES -- After losing out in his battle to win the starting shortstop job this spring, D-backs infielder Nick Ahmed has had to learn how to deal with not being an everyday player for the first time in his career.
"It's a little bit of an adjustment, but I try not to treat it too differently," Ahmed said. "Especially when you step out onto the field, it's the same game. I got to learn from watching Phil Gosselin and Aaron Hill, some guys who were really good players off the bench the last couple of years.
