Outman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Outman is sitting for the second time in three games, and the rookie outfielder could continue to see his playing time diminish if the results don't improve substantially over the coming weeks. Jason Heyward earns the start in center field Sunday and will hit eighth.

Outman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

After taking a seat against right-hander Andrew Abbott in Tuesday's series opener, the lefty-hitting Outman will now remain on the bench versus a lefty (Brandon Williamson) on Wednesday. The Dodgers may not yet be ready to pull the plug on Outman as their primary center fielder, but it's clear that his leash has gotten considerably shorter while he's slashed a woeful .161/.257/.276 with a 37.6 percent strikeout rate since the beginning of May.

Outman is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Jason Heyward is starting in center field and bating seventh versus the Reds and right-hander Luke Weaver. Outman has gone 2-for-31 (.065) with 15 strikeouts over his last 12 games and is slashing just .161/.257/.276 in 101 plate appearances since the beginning of May.

Outman went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Outman continues to struggle at the plate, as he's gone a miserable 2-for-31 over his past 12 games. He does have two thefts over that span, but that's hardly enough to balance the drain he's putting on his fantasy managers' batting averages. Outman isn't likely to see his slump end until he's able to start making more contact -- over the 12-contest stretch he's fanned 40.5 percent of the time, and his overall 35.2 percent strikeout rate ranks second-worst among qualified MLB hitters.

Outman is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Nationals, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Outman got plenty of run against lefties when he was hitting better, but now that he's slumping at the plate he's been on the bench three of the last six times the Dodgers have faced a southpaw. Trayce Thompson will handle center field.

Outman went 1-for-2 with an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 6-1 win against Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Outman entered Monday in the midst of a massive slump, going 4-for-42 with 21 strikeouts over his previous 15 games. He put the ball in play in each of his three at-bats against Washington, producing an RBI with a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning. The rookie outfielder's 35.0 percent strikeout rate on the campaign remains a significant roadblock to his success, but Outman has also posted some useful fantasy stats, including nine homers, 29 RBI, 28 runs and six thefts.

Outman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

With the lefty-hitting Outman mired in a deep slump and with Tampa Bay bringing a lefty (Josh Fleming) to the hill Sunday, it comes as no surprise that the rookie outfielder will stay on the bench for the series finale. Outman has now sat in three of the past four games while he's gone just 4-for-39 with a 40.9 percent strikeout rate over his last 14 contests. Trayce Thompson will replace Outman in center field Sunday.

Outman is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Outman will take a seat after he went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts in Friday's 9-3 loss. He has now gone hitless over 14 at-bats in his last five contests. Jason Heyward will draw the start in center field and bat sixth against Tampa Bay.

Outman is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest against Atlanta, Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA reports.

EDGE Analysis

Outman has not had much success as of late with the bat, and his 0-for-4 showing with three strikeouts dropped his slash for the month of May to .179/.273/.328 over 67 at-bats. Jason Heyward will hit sixth and get the start in center field in Outman's absence.

Outman will be on the bench Saturday against the Cardinals, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Outman is having an excellent rookie season overall, hitting .263/.353/.533 with nine homers and five steals in 46 games. That comes with a 34.1 percent strikeout rate on the year and a 52.4 percent mark across his last six contests, however, so there's reason to worry about how well he'll be able to sustain his hot start. Jason Heyward will take over in center field Saturday.
