Dickerson is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
The Padres are spreading around outfield playing time very liberally now that the minor league season is over, so Dickerson will head to the bench for a night off. Jon Jay will take over in left field for the evening.

Dickerson is not in the lineup Thursday against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Dickerson has acted as the primary left fielder for the Padres since being called up to the big leagues, but he'll take a day off with a host of players coming up from Triple-A following the conclusion of the Pacific Coast League playoffs. Travis Jankowski will slide over to left field to fill in for him while Manny Margot enters the lineup in center field.

Dickerson is out of the lineup Saturday against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Andy Green with go with an outfield consisting of Jon Jay, Travis Jankowski and Oswaldo Arcia (from left to right) against right-hander Jon Gray, as Dickerson sits for the first time since Sept. 3. Dickerson hit the ground running upon his return to the majors in late June but he's been ice cold of late, with just two hits in his last 21 at-bats.

Dickerson was a late addition to the lineup Sunday against the Marlins. He'll start in left field and bat in the cleanup spot.
EDGE Analysis
Dickerson was initially set to receive the day off in the series finale, but after Wil Myers came down with a stomach virus prior to game time, another player was needed to reenter the lineup. With Myers sitting, Yangervis Solarte will cover first base while Adam Rosales starts at the hot corner, thereby opening up left field for Dickerson.

Dickerson is out of the lineup Sunday versus Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Dickerson has struggled recently, as he's posted a bleak .196/.264/.283 line over the last 14 games. The Padres will opt to start Adam Rosales in left field and give Dickerson the day off as they conclude their series against Justin Nicolino and the Marlins.

Dickerson is out of the lineup Saturday against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
He is hitting just .241/.281/.379 with one home run in 64 plate appearances this month, and may begin to lose out on a bit of playing time down the stretch. The Padres recalled corner outfielder Patrick Kivlehan, who is starting in left field Saturday, and outfield prospects Hunter Renfroe and Manuel Margot could be summoned in September to further complicate matters.

Dickerson went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk and four RBI against the Diamondbacks on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
He'd driven in exactly zero runs over the past eight games, but reversed that trend in a big way Thursday, with his three-run double in the eighth inning giving the Padres the lead and just enough breathing room to escape with a win. The 26-year-old rookie has been fairly useful for fantasy owners when in the lineup this year, as he's still maintaining an OPS over .800. He's always hit in the minors, but Dickerson will need to continue establishing himself over the rest of this season as well as next year before he fully sheds the Quad-A label.

Dickerson is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Dickerson went just 4-for-20 (.200) over his last five games, so manager Andy Green decided it was time to hold him out of the starting lineup for the first time since August 1. Christian Bethancourt will get the start in left field in Dickerson's place.
