Dean went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
After giving the Marlins a 2-0 lead in the fourth inning with an RBI single, Dean added plenty of insurance with a two-run shot in the sixth, his fourth homer in 28 games at the big-league level. The 24-year-old rookie has gotten his feet wet in Miami with a .219/.257/.385 slash line, but Dean's .872 OPS in 87 games for Triple-A New Orleans earlier this season gives a better picture of his offensive upside.

Dean is not starting Friday in Pittsburgh, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dean sits for just the second time since his mid-August debut. The 24-year-old's .206/.254/.397 line doesn't cry out for an everyday role, but the rebuilding Marlins have no reason not to give steady at-bats to their young hitters down the stretch. Rafael Ortega will slide over to left field in his absence, with Magneuris Sierra getting the start in right field.

Dean is out of the lineup Sunday against the Blue Jays, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dean will head to the bench for the first time in his MLB career after starting in all 14 of the Marlins' games since being promoted from Triple-A New Orleans on Aug. 15. The outfielder got off to a hot start with two home runs and two doubles through his first seven games, but he's gone just 2-for-25 over his subsequent seven starts. Dean's absence will clear a spot in left field for Rafael Ortega.

Dean went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run Wednesday in the Marlins' 9-3 win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Since being called up from Triple-A New Orleans last week, Dean has started in all six of the Marlins' games, homering twice while collecting six runs and five RBI. Dean doesn't project to continue hitting for much power in the big leagues, but his quality bat-to-ball skills will give him a good shot at upholding a useful batting average for fantasy owners over the final month and change of the season.
