Dozier went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a solo home run in Monday's 5-4 loss to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

That's now five straight games with multiple hits for the 27-year-old, who also has three of his four homers on the year in his last six contests. Dozier's hot streak has pushed his slash line up to .300/.379/.580 through 14 games, a performance he seems unlikely to sustain given his .702 career OPS.

Dozier went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double and two RBI in Thursday's loss to Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Dozier slugged a solo homer in the second inning to secure the game's first run, and he tacked on another run in the seventh on a single. The 27-year-old has now homered in back-to-back ballgames following a slow start to the 2019 season.

Dozier is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Ned Yost wanted to create room in the lineup for the lefty-hitting Lucas Duda with righty Spencer Turnbull on the mound for Detroit, so Dozier finds himself as the odd man out. The 27-year-old is off to a slow start to 2019, recording just one hit over his first 13 at-bats.

Dozier is out of the lineup Sunday against the Indians, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dozier had started each of the Royals' previous 10 games, finishing 8-for-40 (.200 average) with two home runs over that stretch. The 27-year-old hasn't been overly impressive across 388 plate appearances this season with a .229/.278/.395 batting line, which could make the Royals reluctant to proceed with Dozier in an everyday role heading into 2019.
