Souza is out of the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Jon Jay will swap into right field for Souza, who saw his streak of three consecutive two-hit games come to an end with Saturday's 0-for-4 showing. Expect Souza to re-enter the lineup Monday against the Padres and serve as the Diamondbacks' leadoff man.

Souza went 2-for-4 with a run scored Friday in the Diamondbacks' 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Souza has served as Arizona's leadoff hitter for each of the past three games, delivering two hits in all of those contests. The 29-year-old should stick in the table-setting role so long as he remains productive, thereby enhancing his run-scoring potential.

Souza went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and two RBI in Wednesday's win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Souza smacked a solo shot to lead off the third inning, then plated an insurance run on a two-bagger in the next frame in the 3-1 win. The 29-year-old's season has been marred by injury as he's played in just 52 games, but his .719 OPS sits almost a full 100 points below the .810 number he posted in last year's breakout campaign with the Rays.
