Riddle is not in the lineup Monday against the Giants, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Riddle will find his usual seat on the bench with a southpaw, Andrew Suarez, toeing the rubber for the opposition. Miguel Rojas will start at shortstop in his stead, with Yadiel Rivera picking up a start at the hot corner as a result.

Riddle went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday during the Marlins' extra-innings loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Riddle knocked a Dereck Rodriguez offering off the shrubbery in center field for his third homer of the season. He's hitting an underwhelming .211/.224/.386 line over 60 plate appearances this season and likely remain a part-time lineup piece for Miami, but at least it'll likely be against right-handers to give him the majority of playing time.

Riddle went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
His bases-loaded two-bagger in the third inning proved to be the game-winning hit in a 3-1 win. After shaking off the rust following his activation from the disabled list in late May, Riddle has now slashed .250/.267/.409 over his last 14 games with two homers and six RBI, numbers in line with his performance as a rookie in 2017, but his career .310/.347/.468 mark through 53 games at Triple-A at least offers a bit of hope that the 26-year-old could eventually find another gear in the majors.

Riddle went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
With the Marlins leading by one, Riddle tacked on a key insurance run to lead off the sixth inning in the eventual win. In 10 games since being recalled from Triple-A New Orleans -- eight of which have been starts -- Riddle is slashing .242/.265/.424 with a pair of solo homers.

Riddle went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
The home run was of the inside-the-park variety and came in the ninth inning with Miami already trailing by five, but it was still good for Riddle's first of the season. The 26-year-old is just 1-for-12 with six strikeouts since being recalled from Triple-A New Orleans, but he seems to have a path to fairly regular at-bats with Martin Prado (hamstring) on the disabled list.

Riddle will start at shortstop and bat seventh Sunday against the Nationals, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
For the second straight day, Miguel Rojas will shift over to third base to open up shortstop for Riddle, who went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in his season debut Saturday after being recalled from Triple-A New Orleans. Unless the Marlins decide to move Brian Anderson from right field back to the hot corner, there should be room for both Riddle and Rojas on the left side of the infield for the foreseeable future after everyday third baseman Martin Prado (hamstring) landed on the disabled list. The prospect of regular at-bats puts Riddle on the radar in NL-only formats, but his fantasy upside is limited after he only managed a .250 average to go with three home runs and no steals across 247 plate appearances for the big club a season ago.

Riddle was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans on Saturday, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Riddle will get his first big-league opportunity of the season with Martin Prado (hamstring) landing on the DL. It looks like he may play regularly in Prado's absence -- Riddle is starting at shortstop and batting seventh Saturday with Miguel Rojas shifted to third. He was batting .346/.400/.531 with three homers at Triple-A.
