Souza agreed to a one-year, $4.125 million deal with the Diamondbacks, avoiding arbitration, Robert Murray of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With so many offseason departures, Souza may find himself hitting cleanup for the Diamondbacks on Opening Day. The oft-injured outfielder will have another year of arbitration in 2020 before hitting the open market in 2021.

Souza (back) supplied a pinch-hit solo home run in his lone plate appearance during Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Padres in 10 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Souza didn't make any further starts for the Diamondbacks after experiencing back spasms in a Sept. 23 contest against the Rockies, but he came off the bench in two games, suggesting he won't be hindered by the issue heading into the offseason. The outfielder wrapped up an injury marred campaign with a meager .678 OPS -- his lowest mark since his debut season of 2014 -- and managed only five home runs across 272 plate appearances. Since Souza remains under club control for two more years, he'll likely have a fairly clear path to a full-time role in 2019, especially with fellow outfielder A.J. Pollock headed for free agency this winter.

Souza (back) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Souza has been out of action all week due to lower back spasms, and it doesn't seem like the issue has improved heading into Sunday's contest. He'll finish the season with a lowly .660 OPS, his worst mark since his brief time in the majors in 2014. Socrates Brito will replace him in right field for the afternoon.

Souza (back) remains sidelined Saturday against San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

Souza has started just once in the last nine games while battling a lower-back injury. It's possible he's already made his final appearance of the season. Socrates Brito starts in right field Saturday.

Souza (back) is not in the lineup against San Diego on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Souza has been withheld from the starting lineup for the past four games after suffering a lower-back injury Sunday. With only two outings left in the season, there's a chance we've seen the last of Souza in 2018. Chris Owings will patrol right field during the series finale.

Souza (back) is out of the lineup versus the Dodgers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Souza will remain sidelined for a third consecutive game as he nurses a lower-back injury that popped up during Sunday's outing. Socrates Brito will patrol right field and bat fifth in his absence. Souza should be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's series opener in San Diego.

Souza (shoulder) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Souza will stick on the bench for a second straight game as he continues to deal with lower-back spasms. It's unclear if the outfielder will be able to return before the end of the season, though with the Diamondbacks out of playoff contention, the team figures to err on the side of caution. Jon Jay gets the start in right field Tuesday, hitting leadoff.

Souza (back) is not in the lineup Monday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Souza will sit out Monday's series opener after exiting Sunday's loss to the Rockies with a lower-back spasm. Chris Owings is starting in right field and leading off in Souza's place.

Souza exited Sunday's game against the Rockies due to a lower back spasm, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Given the nature of the injury, Souza shouldn't miss much time, although with only a week left in the regular season, he may be shut down as a precaution. Souza was replaced in right field by Chris Owings.

Souza is on the bench for the third straight game Saturday against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Souza hasn't been reportedly dealing with an injury, but he's given plenty of performance-related reasons for his role to be reduced lately. He's hit just .057 over his last 12 games. Jon Jay will again start in right field.
