Back spasms made Pollock a late scratch before Friday's game, but apparently he's good to go Saturday. He enters an enticing matchup versus lefty Rich Hill, whom he's tagged for three home runs in 18 career at-bats.

EDGE Analysis
Pollock appears to be receiving a routine maintenance day after he started in each of the Dodgers' last six games while going 8-for-26 (.308 average) with two doubles, three stolen bases, five RBI and a run. The Dodgers will roll out an outfield of Chris Taylor, Cody Bellinger and Billy McKinney from left to right in the series finale while Pollock sits.

Pollock went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
After sitting Saturday, Pollock had a big offensive day with three hits. He stole third base on a double-steal in the first inning after doubling off Reid Detmers. The arrival of Trea Turner will likely cut into his playing time; however, he is batting .468 over his last 12 games. The 33-year-old is slashing .309/.361/.536 with 14 home runs, 44 RBI, 38 runs and six steals in 301 plate appearances.

Pollock is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The arrival of Trea Turner and continued excellence of Chris Taylor will certainly reduce Pollock's playing time to some extent, as Taylor is playing left field Saturday in Turner's first Dodgers start. That being said, Pollock is hitting .463 with six extra-base hits in his last 10 games and will play most days until he cools off.
