James Outman - Page 4 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Sitting out second straight game Outman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Impact After taking a seat against right-hander Andrew Abbott in Tuesday's series opener, the lefty-hitting Outman will now remain on the bench versus a lefty (Brandon Williamson) on Wednesday. The Dodgers may not yet be ready to pull the plug on Outman as their primary center fielder, but it's clear that his leash has gotten considerably shorter while he's slashed a woeful .161/.257/.276 with a 37.6 percent strikeout rate since the beginning of May.

Sits amid struggles Outman is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Reds.

Impact Jason Heyward is starting in center field and bating seventh versus the Reds and right-hander Luke Weaver. Outman has gone 2-for-31 (.065) with 15 strikeouts over his last 12 games and is slashing just .161/.257/.276 in 101 plate appearances since the beginning of May.

Tallies seventh steal Outman went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Yankees.

Impact Outman continues to struggle at the plate, as he's gone a miserable 2-for-31 over his past 12 games. He does have two thefts over that span, but that's hardly enough to balance the drain he's putting on his fantasy managers' batting averages. Outman isn't likely to see his slump end until he's able to start making more contact -- over the 12-contest stretch he's fanned 40.5 percent of the time, and his overall 35.2 percent strikeout rate ranks second-worst among qualified MLB hitters.

Sitting versus lefty Outman is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Nationals, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact Outman got plenty of run against lefties when he was hitting better, but now that he's slumping at the plate he's been on the bench three of the last six times the Dodgers have faced a southpaw. Trayce Thompson will handle center field.

Takes positive step Monday Outman went 1-for-2 with an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 6-1 win against Washington.

Impact Outman entered Monday in the midst of a massive slump, going 4-for-42 with 21 strikeouts over his previous 15 games. He put the ball in play in each of his three at-bats against Washington, producing an RBI with a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning. The rookie outfielder's 35.0 percent strikeout rate on the campaign remains a significant roadblock to his success, but Outman has also posted some useful fantasy stats, including nine homers, 29 RBI, 28 runs and six thefts.

Sits amid slump Outman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Impact With the lefty-hitting Outman mired in a deep slump and with Tampa Bay bringing a lefty (Josh Fleming) to the hill Sunday, it comes as no surprise that the rookie outfielder will stay on the bench for the series finale. Outman has now sat in three of the past four games while he's gone just 4-for-39 with a 40.9 percent strikeout rate over his last 14 contests. Trayce Thompson will replace Outman in center field Sunday.

On bench Saturday Outman is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Rays.

Impact Outman will take a seat after he went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts in Friday's 9-3 loss. He has now gone hitless over 14 at-bats in his last five contests. Jason Heyward will draw the start in center field and bat sixth against Tampa Bay.

Takes seat Wednesday Outman is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest against Atlanta, Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA reports.

Impact Outman has not had much success as of late with the bat, and his 0-for-4 showing with three strikeouts dropped his slash for the month of May to .179/.273/.328 over 67 at-bats. Jason Heyward will hit sixth and get the start in center field in Outman's absence.

Gets Saturday off Outman will be on the bench Saturday against the Cardinals, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact Outman is having an excellent rookie season overall, hitting .263/.353/.533 with nine homers and five steals in 46 games. That comes with a 34.1 percent strikeout rate on the year and a 52.4 percent mark across his last six contests, however, so there's reason to worry about how well he'll be able to sustain his hot start. Jason Heyward will take over in center field Saturday.

Not in lineup Outman is absent from the Dodgers' lineup for Monday's game against the Twins, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact Right-hander Pablo Lopez has been tough against both righties and lefties this season but has been more difficult for left-handed batters, so Outman will take a seat. Jason Heyward (also a left-handed batter) is in center field Monday.
