Dozier was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox due to a sore back, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The severity of the issue is not yet clear. Ryan O'Hearn will enter the lineup in his place.

Dozier will start at third base and bat fifth Sunday against the Indians, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dozier is picking up his sixth consecutive start after recording five hits -- including two home runs -- in each of the past five contests. The 27-year-old's gaudy 30.8 percent strikeout rate doesn't offer much hope for an uptick in his .217 average, but he could provide fantasy owners in AL-only or deeper mixed leagues with some decent power production while he retains a full-time role.

Dozier went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and two strikeouts in Wednesday's loss to the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Dozier helped close a three-run gap in the eighth inning with his sixth long ball, though it ultimately wasn't enough in the 6-3 defeat. The 27-year-old has seen somewhat regular playing time of late, but is hitting just .215/.272/.339 on the season.

Dozier is out of the lineup Sunday against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Dozier is on the bench for the second day in a row and the fourth time in the Royals' last six games, indicating he's no longer viewed as the top option at third base. Those duties appear to have fallen to Rosell Herrera, who has seen most of his action at the hot corner of late after he was pushed out of a regular role in the outfield following the acquisition of Brett Phillips from the Brewers prior to the trade deadline.

Dozier is not in the lineup Saturday against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Dozier is riding a five-game hitting streak, though he has just one hit in each of those games. Rosell Herrera will be the Royals' third baseman Saturday.

Dozier is not in the lineup against the White Sox on Tuesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dozier will get the night off after going 1-for-3 with a solo home run versus the Yankees during Sunday's loss. Lucas Duda will man first base and Rosell Herrera will start at third base for the series opener.

Dozier went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday in the loss to New York.

EDGE Analysis

Dozier launched a solo homer over the right-field fence in the seventh inning, but the Yankees would take the series finale, 6-3. Prior to homering Sunday, the 26-year-old third baseman hadn't gone deep since June 23 vs. Houston. Dozier sits with an unimpressive .207 average and 14 RBI through 57 games this season.

Dozier is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Tigers, Maria Torres of The Kansas City Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brian Goodwin is starting in center field, which pushes Rosell Herrera to right field and Jorge Bonifacio to designated hitter. This alignment could develop into a trend, given that Dozier is hitting just .149 with a 37 percent strikeout rate over his last 67 games.

Dozier is out of the lineup Sunday against the Twins, Rustin Dodd of The Athletic Kansas City reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dozier has started back-to-back games for Kansas City, but with Salvador Perez getting to DH instead of catch in the series finale, there wasn't enough room for Dozier and Lucas Duda to coexist in the same lineup. Dozier has been awarded 11 starts in the month of July, but hasn't necessarily taken advantage, owning a .159/.196/.227 slash line through 44 at-bats.

Dozier is not in the lineup Monday against the Indians, Joel Goldberg of FOX Sports Kansas City reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dozier sits for the second time in three games, with Lucas Duda playing first base. Dozier is hitting just .186 with a .565 OPS in the month of June.
