Outman went 2-for-4 with two walks, a stolen base and a run in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Outman's National League Rookie of the Year campaign has lost some steam while his power has been largely gone for the past two and a half months. Since the beginning of May, Outman has produced just 11 extra-base hits (four home runs, seven doubles) in 59 games. Though his struggles for much of May and June looked as though it could result in a demotion to Triple-A Oklahoma City, Outman has at least shown improved contact-hitting and on-base skills thus far in July. He's hitting .316 and owns a .435 OBP in 12 games this month while striking out at a manageable 26.1 percent clip, more than seven points below his season-long rate (33.6 percent).

Outman went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's 9-7 loss to the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Outman went deep off Luis Ortiz in the second and fourth innings, ending the young slugger's 34-game homer drought. Outman has posted six multi-hit efforts over his last 15 games, batting .268 (15-for-56) in that span. The outfielder is up to 11 long balls, 40 RBI, 41 runs scored and eight stolen bases while slashing .236/.317/.429 over 287 plate appearances this season. He continues to see the majority of the playing time in center field.

Outman isn't starting Monday's game against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Outman is in the midst of a 2-for-12 stretch at the dish over his last three contests and will get the night off to hit the reset button. Jason Heyward gets the call in center field and is set to bat seventh in Outman's absence.

Outman went 3-for-4 with two runs and a stolen base in a 3-2 win over Houston on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

It's been an up-and-down campaign for Outman, who started the season well but has batted below the Mendoza Line for about the past two months. He's begun to pick things up of late, collecting three multi-hit performances over his past six contests, though all seven of his knocks during that span have been singles. Outman's nine homers and eight thefts through 70 games highlight his potential to be a solid fantasy contributor, but his 35.5 percent strikeout rate remains his biggest obstacle to sustained success.

Outman isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Saturday against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Lefty Alex Wood is slated to start on the mound for San Francisco, meaning the left-handed bat of Outman will remain in the dugout Saturday. Jonny DeLuca will take over in center field and bat fifth.

Outman is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

After a red-hot start to the season, Outman has cooled off considerably, and he's slashed just .174/.321/.217 in the month of June. The outfielder will get Friday off with Sean Manaea expected to work as the bulk hurler versus the Dodgers, and Jonny DeLuca will patrol center field in Outman's absence.

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.
