Ahmed will bat leadoff Tuesday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old will be afforded his 10th start of the season atop the order with Ender Inciarte sitting against lefty Alex Wood. While Ahmed has posted just a .590 OPS since the All-Star break, he's been much better this season against left-handed pitching (.295/.359/.438) than against right-handers (.201/.246/.329).
