Thames is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Thames will head to the bench for Friday's series opener with left-hander Jose Quintana taking the mound for the Cubs. Lefty Cole Hamels (oblique) is scheduled to start Saturday, so the slugger may find himself on the bench for a second straight contest. Yasmani Grandal will start at first base while Manny Pina grabs the start behind the plate.

On the season, he is slashing .252/.365/.504 with 15 long balls and 40 runs batted in over 288 plate appearances.

Thames went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
The homer was his 14th of the year but first since July 2, and Thames' .229/.270/.343 slash line in the 12 games in between has opened the door for Jesus Aguilar to start re-asserting himself in the battle for playing time at first base. The position remains a platoon for the moment, but Thames could even begin to lose at-bats against righties if Aguilar continues to outperform him.

EDGE Analysis
