Flaherty went 1-for-4 with a solo homer and a pair of runs against the Padres on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

He's been making an impact with the bat over his last four games, banging out six hits (including two doubles and two homers) and driving in four runs. That said, we're talking about a career .217 hitter with below-average power and nearly no speed, so it's hard to find a place for Flaherty in most fantasy lineups.

Flaherty is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Flaherty will take a seat in favor of right-handed hitting Paul Janish to improve the matchups against southpaw Derek Holland. The 29-year-old is hitting .229 with two home runs, 11 RBI and 13 runs scored this season and will likely switch back to a reserve role once Manny Machado returns from his suspension.

Flaherty will start at third base and bat ninth in the order Sunday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

With Manny Machado beginning to serve his four-game suspension Sunday, Flaherty will draw into the lineup, and should be the main beneficiary for starts while Machado remains sidelined. Look for Flaherty, who is slashing .219/.303/.314 across 105 at-bats on the season, to slide back into a utility role once Machado's suspension concludes.

Flaherty went 2-for-4 with a double and solo homer in Friday's 13-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

It was a rare offensive outburst for the 29-year-old, who had only one other multi-hit effort this season, which came earlier this month. Both of Flaherty's round-trippers have also come during June, and he now has seven of his 10 RBI on the season over that span as well. The improvement at the plate has raised his average a total of 29 points since May 30.

Flaherty is out of the lineup Thursday against the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Flaherty will be replaced at third base by Paul Janish on Thursday, who will bat ninth in the order. After a rocky start to the season, Flaherty has begun to pick himself up a bit, batting .237/.326/.342 with one home run and six RBI in the month of June. Flaherty should return to the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.

Flaherty went 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

J.J. Hardy (foot) is getting closer to a return, but Flaherty has done well as the regular third baseman in his absence, hitting .290 (9-for-31) in June with a home run, six RBI and seven runs scored. If he's still producing when Hardy gets healthy, the O's could have a tough decision on their hands.

Flaherty is out of the lineup Sunday against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

With southpaw CC Sabathia on the mound for the Yankees, Orioles manager Buck Showalter is aiming to limit the amount of lefty bats in his lineup. As a result, Flaherty will head to a bench role after starting the previous four games. Paul Janish replaces Flaherty at third base.

Flaherty went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI, a walk and a strikeout Monday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Flaherty is almost a non-factor with the bat, so it's very nice to see him produce even on a limited basis. The 29-year-old infielder drove in his second run of the season, and the double was his first extra-base hit since May 10. He had a productive day at the plate, but this type of production can't be expected from him on a steady basis.

Flaherty is out of the lineup Sunday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Flaherty has been serving as the Orioles' primary third baseman since J.J. Hardy (knee) hit the DL, as Manny Machado has moved over from the hot corner to cover shortstop. While the team hasn't lost much defensively with Flaherty's insertion to the lineup, he's a virtual non-entity with the bat, which has prompted manager Buck Showalter to alter the lineup the last two games. The power-hitting Pedro Alvarez will make his second straight start at third base Sunday, but Flaherty could still be called upon to enter the contest as a late-inning defensive replacement.

Flaherty will start at third base and bat ninth in the order Sunday against the Athletics, Jon Meoli of the Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's the sixth start in seven games for Flaherty, who appears to be a fixture in the lineup while J.J. Hardy (foot) remains on the DL. Flaherty has gone 3-for-11 in those contests, but he's been a glove-first player throughout his career and will likely occupy a spot at the bottom of the lineup during almost every start.
