Dezenzo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Dezenzo will hit the bench after he picked up starts in the corner outfield in each of the last four games while going 5-for-15 at the plate. With Brendan Rodgers' grip on the everyday role at second base starting to slip, Jose Altuve has seen more time in the infield of late, which has opened the door for Dezenzo to earn more playing time in the outfield.

Dezenzo went 1-for-4 on Saturday against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Dezenzo has started four of Houston's last five games, with his only absence caused by a minor thumb injury. He's hit well in the small sample, delivering six hits across 14 at-bats with two doubles, two RBI and three runs scored. Dezenzo has played at first base and both corner outfield spots rather than having one defensive home, so his outlook for playing time remains uncertain. However, Houston is trying to jumpstart its offense, and so far Dezenzo has delivered.
