For the season, he's slashing .220/.258/.366 with four home runs, 12 RBI, 15 runs scored and a stolen base in 133 plate appearances.

Dahl replaced the injured Joey Gallo (hamstring) in right field and went 1-for-4 in a 10-4 loss to Houston on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The Rangers are describing the injury as minor, so this could be a temporary starting assignment for Dahl, who regularly started in left field to start the season but has since been replaced by Willie Calhoun. Dahl will be in the lineup against right-handers, usually at DH but also as a fill-in at any of the three outfield spots. He's slashing .216/.250/.345 over 125 plate appearances.

Dahl went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a stolen base during Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old went deep to lead off the seventh inning an bring Texas within two runs, but the offense failed to produce over the final frames Tuesday. Dahl has a modest seven-game hit streak and is 7-for-23 with a homer, three doubles, three RBI and four runs during that stretch.

Despite being protected from same-sided pitching, he's struggled significantly at the plate this season, hitting .210/.241/.324 through 30 games. Khris Davis will get the start in left field in his absence.
