Schimpf went 1-for-3 with a solo homer Friday against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Schimpf hit his 12th homer of the year off Max Scherzer to tie the game at one in a game the Padres would go on to lose. He's a terrible drain on batting average, though he provides fantasy owners in need of power with some significant pop.

Schimpf is not in the lineup Thursday against the Mets, Dennis Lin of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schimpf is 4-for-17 with two home runs over his past seven games, but he'll head to the bench for a night off Thursday. Cory Spangenberg will take over at third base to replace him.

Schimpf went 1-for-3 with his 11th home run of the season in Tuesday's loss to the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

A true three-outcome hitter, Schimpf gave us a glimpse of what he brings to the table with a homer, walk and a strikeout. After 42 games, we know what the slugging infielder brings to the table, power at the expense of batting average. 11 of his 22 hits this season have been round-trippers.

Schimpf went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Schimpf returned to the starting lineup with a bang after getting a day off against a southpaw Saturday. A lack of contact this season earned him a brief stay in manager Andy Green's doghouse earlier in the week, but he appears to have regained his usual platoon role at the hot corner. The 29-year-old's 10 homers rank third among all third baseman (first among second baseman), but fantasy owners will have to decide whether his .165 batting average is worth the headache.

Schimpf is not in the lineup Saturday against the Diamondbacks, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite reaching base five times in the last two games (two hits, three walks), Schimpf will head to the bench as the Diamondbacks send out southpaw Robbie Ray. Cory Spangenberg will draw the start at the hot corner in his stead.

Schimpf started at third base Friday, going 1-for-2 with a pair of walks and the Padres' lone RBI in a 10-1 loss to Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

After receiving a couple of mental days off earlier this week, the slugging infielder has returned to his regular role as the club's starting third baseman against right-handers. Schimpf's .161 batting average should scare most fantasy owners away, but with nine home runs and 19 RBI in 40 games, there is some deep-league value for the all-or-nothing hitter.

Schimpf is batting seventh and playing third base Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The power-hitting but contact-challenged stick was absent from the order in the previous two games but will return to face the Brewers' Zach Davies. The platoon advantage could allow Schimpf to help fantasy owners who need a fill-in on the getaway day.

Schimpf is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

This marks the second game in a row that Cory Spangenberg will man the hot corner in his stead. Schimpf is always a power threat, but his .153 batting average on the season may have relegated him to a bench role for the time being, although it's unclear if this is just a quick fix to get his head right or a long-term alteration.

Schimpf is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Schimpf will head to the bench to clear his head after going 0-for-5 with four strikeouts during Monday's extra-innings win. Cory Spangenberg will draw the start at third base in his stead. Despite his nine homers this season, he's only hitting .154 (18-for-117) with a 32 percent strikeout rate, so he could start to see a dip in playing time if he doesn't make adjustments soon.

Schimpf went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts in Monday's 6-5 extra-innings win over the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Schimpf does have nine home runs and 18 RBI on the season in 117 at-bats, but at what cost to fantasy owners? He's now hitting only .154 on the year and is striking out over 32 percent of the time. His all-or-nothing approach will continue to give his fantasy owners and the Padres brass headaches. If Schimpf doesn't make adjustments soon, his playing time could suffer.
