Newman went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 5-4 loss to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Getting the start at shortstop and batting eighth, Newman picked up his first steal of the season in the third inning before coming home on a TJ Friedl double. Newman has started six straight games and eight of the last nine, spotting in all around the infield, but he's batting just .258 (8-for-31) over that stretch with zero extra-base hits, three runs and three RBI. Despite the increased playing time, Newman's fantasy value remains mainly limited to NL-only formats.
