Forsythe went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 19-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Forsythe slotted in at first base in place of the left-handed-hitting Ronald Guzman against Arizona southpaw Robbie Ray. Guzman is not getting many opportunities against lefties, so guys like Forsythe and Danny Santana have been filling in at first base. Forsythe, a pleasant surprise for the Rangers earlier this season, is batting just .152 over his last 24 games.

Forsythe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 15-6 loss to the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran infielder went more than two months without leaving the yard, with Friday's homer being his first since April 28. On the year, Forsythe's slashing .262/.365/.415 with four home runs and 32 RBI in 61 games, limiting his fantasy appeal to AL-only and deeper OBP formats.

Forsythe started at third base in place of the injured Asdrubel Cabrera (back) and went 0-for-2 with two walks in a 9-4 loss to the Angels on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

This was the second straight game Cabrera missed, and it presumably would have been his third had Monday's game not been postponed. Forsythe, who moves around the infield regularly as a fill-in, should continue to get time at third base while Cabrera is unavailable. He has one hit over his last 17 at-bats.

Forsythe will start at second base and bat seventh Sunday against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Rougned Odor (hamstring) will be on the bench for a second straight day, allowing Forsythe to claim his fifth start in six contests. Odor's setback isn't viewed as a major concern, so as long as he avoids the injured list, Forsythe will transition back into a utility role before long.

Forsythe started at third base Tuesday in place of the suspended Asdrubel Cabrera. He went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in a 5-3 win over Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

With Cabrera's suspension still extending another two games, Forsythe becomes the top option at third base for the time being. After hitting with regularity over the first two months, Forsythe is batting just .171 over 35 at-bats in the month of June.

Forsythe went 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Thursday's 7-6 loss to the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Ronald Guzman took a seat against Boston left-hander David Price, so the right-handed hitting Forsythe took over at first base. The move by manager Chris Woodward was a prescient one, as Forsythe drilled a two-run single as part of the Rangers' four-run first inning. The single snapped a string of 17 at-bats without a hit for Forsythe, who has settled into a backup role since injured starters returned to action. He's appeared in eight of the last 15 games, with six of them starts.

Forsythe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

With a .302/.406/.475 slash line through 165 plate appearances this season, Forsythe has been exceptionally productive when given the chance to play, but his opportunities have dwindled with the Texas infield back to full strength. Since Elvis Andrus returned from the 10-day injured list May 25, Forsythe has started in only five of the Rangers' nine contests.

Forsythe will start at first base and bat fifth Sunday against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Forsythe will draw his fifth consecutive start, but his path to an everyday role nonetheless appears more blocked than it was a week ago. The Rangers brought Elvis Andrus (hamstring) back from the 10-day injured list Saturday, no longer leaving Forsythe the top option for starts at shortstop.

Forsythe entered Saturday's game as a pinch runner after Danny Santana was hit by a pitch on the ankle.

EDGE Analysis

Santana, who filled in at shortstop for the injured Elvis Andrus (hamstring), told T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com following the game the ankle "hurts a lot." That suggests he could miss a few days, which means the hot-hitting Forsythe (10 hits in his last 19 at-bats) could return as Andrus' fill-in the next few games.

Forsythe is out of Saturday's lineup against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

He has been swinging a red-hot bat, tallying 10 hits in 19 at-bats over his last five games. Danny Santana will start at shortstop and hit seventh in his stead.
