Coleman is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Coleman has settled in with most of the starts at shortstop with Erick Aybar (foot) on the DL, but he'll hit the bench for a night off Tuesday. Fresh off his own DL stint, Yangervis Solarte will fill the void at shortstop for the evening.

Coleman went 1-for-4 with a solo homer and two strikeouts in Sunday's 7-1 loss to the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Pay no mind to the 30-year-old infielder's .733 slugging percentage, as it has come over the tiny sample size of 16 plate appearances. He has also struck out six times in that span, though this surprising burst of power should earn Coleman a little more run at shortstop with Erick Aybar (foot) out.

Coleman will start at shortstop and bat eighth Sunday against the Pirates, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Padres have been looking for a replacement at shortstop while Erick Aybar (foot) remains sidelined indefinitely, and for the time being, it appears manager Andy Green has settled on Coleman as his primary option at the position. As a 30-year-old career minor leaguer who had maintained a .280 on-base percentage at Triple-A El Paso prior to his July 24 promotion, Coleman seems highly unlikely to hold down a starting role for the final two months of the season. In fact, as soon as he starts slumping at the plate, Coleman could find himself pushed off the 40-man roster.

Coleman went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run during Thursday's win over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

This was the first homer of Coleman's career, and the 30-year-old infielder has only made 14 plate appearances in the majors, so his fantasy value is extremely limited. Coleman could see a few spot starts moving forward, but he's not a legitimate virtual option in the majority of settings at this stage of the game.

Coleman had his contract selected by the Padres and is starting at shortstop and batting seventh in Monday's game against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Coleman inked a minor-league deal with the Padres this offseason and will make his team debut despite posting a subpar .209 average and 34.2 percent strikeout rate with Triple-A El Paso this season.

Coleman signed a minor league deal with the Padres in late November, Baseball America reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coleman slashed .239/.296/.399 with Triple-A Omaha last season in 207 plate appearances spread across 56 games, while also making five major league plate appearances. He struck out in 28 percent of his Triple-A plate appearances, while walking just 5.8 percent of the time. He'll need to correct those numbers if he wants an extended run in the big leagues in 2017.

Coleman was assigned to minor league camp Wednesday, Josh Vernier of 610 Sports Radio in Kansas City reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coleman spent time at the Double and Triple-A levels in 2015, and he figures to open 2016 at Triple-A with his eye on a potential call up at some point later in the season. Coleman saw action in four major league games in 2015, going 0-for-5 at the plate with three strikeouts.

Coleman cleared waivers and has been assigned to Triple-A Omaha.

EDGE Analysis

Barring a couple of injuries down the stretch, Coleman is unlikely to return to the Royals in 2015.

Coleman was DFA'd by the Royals on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The move simply removes Coleman, who is playing at Triple-A Omaha, from the 40-man roster.
