Dozier has been in a slump recently, but his recent absences from the lineup stem from a side issue that surfaced during an at-bat Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Dozier will take a seat after going 1-for-18 with seven strikeouts over his last five games.

Dozier went 3-for-5 with two RBI and a run in the victory over the Twins on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old has secured a hit in five of his last six games, producing two extra-base hits and five RBI over that stretch. Dozier is batting .276 with 5 homers, 16 RBI, 21 runs and a stolen base over 156 at-bats in 42 games in 2022.

EDGE Analysis

Three of the Royals' first four batters homered in the first inning off of Arizona starter Zach Davies. This was Dozier's second homer in his last five games and his fifth of the year. The slugger is up to a .270/.318/.461 slash line with 13 RBI, 18 runs scored and a stolen base in three attempts while adding eight doubles and two triples. He's hit well enough to maintain a place in the lineup nearly everyday, though he's seen time at first base and right field most often when he's not the designated hitter.

Dozier went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI on Thursday against the White Sox.
