Adams went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

It's his 17th homer of the year but first since July 23, as a deep slump and lack of playing time sabotaged Adams' fantasy value. With Matt Kemp (hamstring) likely to come off the DL on Saturday, though, Adams' route to a regular spot in the starting lineup won't get any clearer.

Adams will start in left and bat sixth in the order for the series opener against the Reds on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

This marks the first time Adams is in the starting nine since Aug. 12, as the 29-year-old has been on the bench for the last five games. He figures to see a increase in playing time over the next couple weeks following Danny Santana's placement on the disabled list due to a quadriceps strain.

EDGE Analysis

Adams retreats to the bench for the fourth straight game, as Danny Santana earns the assignment in left. Since July 21, Adams is hitting just .176 with two extra-base hits and 13 strikeouts in the past 17 games, and could very well sit again for the series finale Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

With no injury being announced, it appears the Braves aren't willing to wait for Matt Adams to break out of the 4-for-28 slump he's been in, sitting him for the third straight game. This time he'll take a seat to Danny Santana, who will bat sixth in his place

Adams is out of the lineup Monday against the Rockies, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

For the second straight contest, Adams will take a seat against a right-handed starter, and with the Braves relaying that no injury is at play, it seems his benching may be performance-based. Adams is already miscast as a left fielder, so the fact that he's gone 4-for-28 at the plate over his last nine games only offers further incentive for manager Brian Snitker to keep him on the bench. Danny Santana will pick up a second straight start in left field in Adams' stead.

EDGE Analysis
