Bourjos' playing time will be impacted when Aaron Altherr is ready to come off the disabled list later this month, Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Altherr, who is recovering from a wrist injury, must be activated from the disabled list no later than July 28. Bourjos is a free agent after this season and is not in the Phillies' long term plans. The team could try to trade him this month, but that may also result in a loss of playing time as he could end up in a situation where he is used as a fourth outfielder.

Bourjos went 1-for-4 with an RBI triple and a run in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Hitting out of the two-hole, Bourjos plated Odubel Herrera with a sixth-inning three-bagger, his second of July and fifth of the season. The 29-year-old now has a four-game hitting streak, and has hit safely in 18 of his last 19 contests. After a scorching June in which he slashed .410/.455/.623, Bourjos is back at it in July, producing a .333/.366/.615 line over 39 July at-bats.

Bourjos went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer, a walk and two runs Wednesday at the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Bourjos' third bomb of the year gave the Phillies a 2-0 lead in the first inning, and he later scored the game-winning run in the 10th inning. He's been on a tear, as he's now hit safely nine straight games to raise his slash line to .262/.300/.391.

Bourjos could see more playing time in center field if Odubel Herrera's defense does not improve, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Pete Mackanin seems to already be considering a position change for Herrera, who took fly balls in right field before Saturday's game. Bourjos has regained regular playing time of late and has capitalized on his opportunity. He has started five straight games, going 8-for-18 with a triple, a home run and four RBI.

Bourjos went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 14-10 loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Bourjos is no longer the Phillies' starting right fielder, but he has still been seeing occasional starts and coming into games as a defensive replacement. He's started to warm up a bit at the plate as well, going 11-for-25 in his last 12 games.

Bourjos went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in Monday's 7-0 victory over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Bourjos has been relegated to ninth in the batting order due to his offensive struggles this season, but you'd never know that based on this performance. Still, the 29-year-old outfielder is slashing a pathetic .205/.235/.295.

Bourjos is in the lineup and batting ninth for Monday's game against the Blue Jays, Matt Gelb of the Philly Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old is struggling mightily this season, hitting just .197/.228/.283 with one home run and nine RBI through 56 games. His lack of offensive productivity makes him a very sub-par fantasy player.
