Utley is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Utley is hitting just .176 against lefties this season, so it should come as little surprise that he will be held out Tuesday against southpaw Tyler Anderson. Howie Kendrick will man the keystone in Utley's place, and Enrique Hernandez will replace him atop the order.

Utley is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Utley was able to play Thursday amid reports that he has been nursing a sore foot. That said, it looks as though manager Dave Roberts will take Utley's sore foot into account moving forward and give him the day off against lefty Matt Moore. Charlie Culberson will take over at second in place of Utley on Thursday.

Utley (foot) is in the lineup Wednesday against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Utley left Tuesday's game early with foot issue, but will return to second base and his usual leadoff spot Wednesday against Johnny Cueto and the Giants. Utley has been enjoying an improved performance at the plate lately, having gone 9-for-19 (.474) over his last five games.

Utley was forced to exit Tuesday's game against the Giants due to a foot issue, Dodgers Insider on Weisman reports.
EDGE Analysis
Utley came on as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning and singled to right before being replaced by Josh Reddick. Manager Dave Roberts revealed after the game that Utley has been "maintenancing his foot" for roughly a month, and the ailment flared up following the at-bat. Little else is known about the situation at this time, but the Dodgers are considering Utley day-to-day in advance of Wednesday's matchup against San Francisco.

Utley is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Charlie Culberson was recalled and is starting at second base Tuesday against lefty Madison Bumgarner. Enrique Hernandez will take Utley's spot atop the batting order. Utley went 3-for-5 in Monday's win, his third straight multi-hit game and seventh since Aug. 9.

Utley went 2-for-5 with two runs scored, two RBI and his 11th home run of the season in Sunday's win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran is having quite the road trip, going 7-for-22 over his last five games with three homers, seven RBI and five runs scored. Utley and the Dodgers will get one more game in Cincinnati on Monday afternoon before heading back home, so he'll get a chance to pad those numbers even further.

Utley is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Enrique Hernandez will take over at the keystone with the Dodgers facing a lefty (Brandon Finnegan) for the first time since Aug. 7. Utley hit a pair of home runs in his return to Philadelphia earlier in the week, bringing his total to 10 on the season, but his middling average and lack of speed limit his fantasy appeal in standard formats even at second base.

Utley hit a pair of home runs in Philadelphia against his former team on Tuesday, one a grand slam, helping the Dodgers to a 15-5 win.
EDGE Analysis
Utley batted leadoff against his former team, but did all the work himself with the pair of home runs. The bombs were Utley's 9th and 10th of the season, and brought his RBI total to 39. Despite the big day, Utley is hitting .255 on the season and .236 in his last 15 games. He continues to bat leadoff for the Dodgers despite his age, lack of speed, and mediocre batting average, which should be a boon to his run-scoring capabilities if nothing else. The 37-year-old second baseman has 58 runs scored on the year to go with a lone steal.

Utley went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 9-4 victory over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Utley delivered against his former longtime team, giving the Dodgers a 6-0 second-inning lead with his eighth long ball of the year. He has already tied last season's total, rebounding across the board with a .250/.327/.379 line. That's a far cry from the veteran's production in his prime, but his high run-scoring potential at the top of the Dodgers order keeps Utley relevant.
