Fry is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

After going 3-for-3 with a walk, two runs and an RBI in Friday's 7-0 win, Fry remained in the lineup at designated hitter in Saturday's 7-0 loss, finishing 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. Though he was named a first-time All-Star and upholds an .860 OPS on the season, Fry is slashing just .130/.231/.130 over his last nine games and has started to lose out on regular playing time versus right-handed pitching. He'll be the odd man out of the lineup Sunday while Jose Ramirez gets a day out of the infield and serves as the Guardians' designated hitter.

Fry went 3-for-3 with a walk, one RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 7-0 win over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Fry went just 3-for-30 over the first 11 games of July before matching that hit total in the first game back after his appearance in the All-Star Game. He was beginning to lose playing time due to the slump, with utility man Daniel Schneemann picking up most of the slack, but the Guardians' lineup remains fairly flexible with multiple utility players. Fry is slashing .290/.398/.473 with eight home runs, 34 RBI, 31 runs scored and four stolen bases over 74 contests, and he'll be out to prove his hot first half was not a fluke.

EDGE Analysis

Fry will hit the bench for the fourth time in the Guardians' past eight games. He's been swinging a cold bat throughout July, going 3-for-28 with one RBI through 10 contests. Jose Ramirez is getting a day off his feet to play designated hitter Sunday, while Daniel Schneemann covers the hot corner in Ramirez's stead.

Fry is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Jose Ramirez will get a day out of the infield and serve as the Guardians' designated hitter, so Fry will hit the bench to accommodate him. Fry had started in each of the last three games, going 4-for-10 with two doubles and two walks to bring his OPS up to .950 on the season.

Fry is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

After leaving Sunday's 6-5 win over the Blue Jays earlier due to elbow inflammation, Fry returned to the lineup as a designated hitter for both of the Guardians' first two games in Baltimore, going 2-for-8 with two doubles and an RBI. The Guardians haven't indicated that Fry is dealing with a setback with the elbow, so his absence from the lineup Wednesday is likely just a pre-planned maintenance day.

Fry (elbow) will start at designated hitter and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Fry's status heading into the series opener in Baltimore was somewhat murky after he was forced out of Sunday's 6-5 win over Toronto with right elbow inflammation, but the 29-year-old is apparently feeling well enough to stick in the lineup Monday in a non-defensive role. Once the elbow issue fully subsides, expect Fry to mix in behind the plate and in the corner outfield along with at DH as the Guardians make a concerted effort to keep his productive bat in the lineup.
