Ervin is not in the lineup Thursday against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Ervin will check out of the starting nine following a string of six consecutive starts. The outfielder is slashing .269/.335/.463 with seven homers and four stolen bases in 53 games since earning a promotion in mid-July. Mason Williams will start in left field and hit sixth in this one.

Ervin is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Aside from a 3-for-3, two-homer performance Sept. 7 against the Padres, Ervin has provided limited production for the past three weeks. Over his last 18 games, the outfielder is slashing .204/.328/.352, resulting in a 28-point crash in his season batting average. Ervin still seems secure in his everyday role with the Reds, but he'll take a seat in the series finale while Mason Williams receives a turn in left field.

Ervin is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Pirates, John Fay of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ervin sits for the second time in four games. Mason Williams will get the start in left field, batting eighth.

Ervin is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Ervin has emerged as a regular in the Reds' outfield since the All-Star break, but he'll get a day off in the series finale while he remains stuck in a rut at the plate. Over his last eight games (seven starts), Ervin has managed only five hits in 25 at-bats, though a 5:3 BB:K in that span suggests he's at least seeing the ball well.

Ervin is out of the lineup against Milwaukee on Wednesday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ervin will receive a day off for the first time since Aug. 17, as he's started the past 10 games for Cincinnati. During that span, he's hit .314 with an .832 OPS and seven RBI. In his place, Preston Tucker will bat sixth and start in left field.

Ervin will start in left field and bat sixth Sunday against the Cubs, Matt Martell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Reds welcomed Scott Schebler (shoulder) back from the 10-day disabled list earlier this week, but it appears his return will prove more costly to the likes of Mason Williams and Preston Tucker than Ervin, who seems to have solidified an everyday role. Ervin has proven more than deserving of consistent at-bats through his performance thus far in the second half; he's slashing .341/.385/.571 with four home runs, three steals and 19 RBI in 31 games after the All-Star break.

Ervin went 2-for-4 with an RBI and stolen base Thursday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Thursday marked Ervin's sixth consecutive start, and he continues to earn the extended look. Across his last 29 at-bats, he has collected nine hits, two home runs, five RBI, two stolen bases and scored three runs. His at-bats could dry up a bit with Scott Schebler (shoulder) slated to return Saturday, though Ervin appears to have surpassed both Mason Williams and Preston Tucker in the pecking order for playing time.

Ervin will start in right field and bat fifth Sunday against the Giants, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic Cincinnati reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ervin is included in the lineup for the fourth time in six games and seems to have edged ahead of Mason Williams for primary duties in right field. The 26-year-old is slashing a commendable .288/.350/.452 across 120 plate appearances this season, but that may not be enough to guarantee him a full-time role once Scott Schebler (shoulder) is reinstated from the 10-day disabled list, likely at some point during the upcoming week.
