Souza is slashing just .179/.233/.357 over his first 28 at-bats of June, despite a multi-hit outing in Wednesday's 6-3 victory over the D-backs.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old's performance is trending downward once again in June, after he saw a slight dip in offensive production in May compared to his April numbers. Souza managed to get on base twice Wednesday, but came in to the game in a 3-for-23 slump over his first six games of the new month. He's also homered just twice since May 20, although his latest round-tripper did come just four games ago versus the Twins. One of the predominant factors in his struggles is his inability to make consistent contact, as Souza has fanned at least once in 17 straight games, and sports atrocious 35.9 percent strikeout and 61 percent contact rates on the season.
