Dahl will sit Saturday against Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl owns a miserable .105/.161/.140 slash line against southpaws this season, so it's hardly surprising to see him on the bench against lefty Tyler Anderson. Jason Martin, Eli White and Adolis Garcia will make up the Rangers' outfield.

Dahl isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl has gone just 2-for-13 with three walks and five strikeouts across the last four games, and he'll get a breather with left-hander Madison Bumgarner starting for Arizona on Wednesday. Curtis Terry will serve as the designated hitter and bat seventh.

Dahl started in left field and went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Per usual, Dahl was in the lineup against a right-hander. In addition to the RBI, he also threw a runner out at home trying to score from second base on a single. Dahl is caught up in the outfield/DH shuffle and isn't playing every day.

Dahl is not starting Friday against the Blue Jays and left-hander Robbie Ray.
EDGE Analysis

Dahl went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl notched his second three-hit effort over his last four games and scored the Rangers' only run in the fifth. Since being activated off the injured list July 1, Dahl is slashing .286/.310/.357 with two extra-base hits, two RBI, two runs scored and a 1:6 BB:K over nine games. He's been pretty lousy overall, hitting just .221/.253/.343 with four homers, 14 RBI, 18 runs scored, two stolen bases and a 7:47 BB:K over 183 plate appearances. He's only 27 and has room for improvement but hasn't the same since 2019 when he made the All-Star Game.

Dahl is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl was activated from the injured list July 1 after recovering from a rib injury. He's started every game since July 2, going 5-for-21 with a pair of doubles and a stolen base. The 27-year-old will get a breather Friday against lefty Cole Irvin as John Hicks serves as the DH.

Dahl went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and one run scored Tuesday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl was in the lineup for the fourth consecutive game since being activated from the injured list on July 1. Tuesday was not only his best effort in that span, but also one of his best of the entire season as he delivered an RBI double in both the fifth and seventh innings. Though he has only a 59 wRC+ across 173 plate appearances on the campaign, Dahl has recorded at least on hit in three of his last five starts.

Dahl started in right field and went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
This was Dahl's first start since being activated off the injured list. He spent nearly a month on the IL with injured ribs, which included a significant two-week rehab assignment at Double-A Frisco and Triple-A Round Rock. "He's fully healthy," manager Chris Woodward told Doug Drawley of the Dallas Morning News. "We had a progression for him and didn't rush him back. He's playing with some confidence and can help us offensively. Especially since he was struggling before." Dahl hit just .207 with four home runs and 12 RBI over 43 games prior to hitting the injured list.
