Dodgers' Kevin Kiermaier: Losing playing time to Edman
Kevin Kiermaier will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.Though he'll pick up his second start in a row Sunday, Kiermaier has faded into more of a part-time role after serving as the Los Angeles Dodgers' primary option in center field through the first three weeks of August. Tommy Edman has since taken over as the Dodgers' preferred center fielder, but manager Dave Roberts will make room for both Kiermaier and Edman on Sunday while the latter fills in at shortstop for a resting Miguel Rojas.

Dodgers' Kevin Kiermaier: Lifts fifth homer
Kevin Kiermaier went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Friday's 7-6 win over the Cardinals.Kiermaier's three-run homer was his first since July 14, and it gave the Los Angeles Dodgers just enough breathing room in the sixth inning. The outfielder hasn't done much at the plate in August, going 6-for-24 (.250) over 11 contests. He's up to a .201/.244/.321 slash line with five homers, 23 RBI, six stolen bases and 27 runs scored across 245 plate appearances between the Dodgers and the Blue Jays this year. Kiermaier continues to see a slight edge for playing time in center field over Andy Pages.

Dodgers' Kevin Kiermaier: Picking up playing time
Kevin Kiermaier will start in center field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Brewers.Kiermaier will occupy center for the fifth time in six games, with two of his starts coming against left-handed pitching. The Los Angeles Dodgers seem to be favoring Kiermaier over Andy Pages at the moment, with the former's superior defense giving him the edge in playing time while the latter has been slumping at the plate. Kiermaier is batting just 1-for-13 with six strikeouts since joining the Dodgers at the trade deadline and is slashing .188/.233/.296 on the season, so fantasy managers likely won't be able to extract much value from him even if he continues to play ahead of Pages.

Kevin Kiermaier went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Saturday's win over the Pirates.Kiermaier led off the bottom of the seventh with a single before going on to swipe his sixth bag of the campaign. It marked the outfielder's first hit since being acquired by the Los Angeles Dodgers at the start of August, while the stolen base was his first since June 19 against the Red Sox (as a member of the Blue Jays). Though not an everyday player, Kiermaier could prove to be useful for the Dodgers at times, given his defensive prowess and speed on the basepaths.

Dodgers' Kevin Kiermaier: Heading to Hollywood

The 34-year-old outfielder has put up a .546 OPS through 217 plate appearances this season and likely won't be an everyday player for Los Angeles, but he could make occasional starts in center field to give Andy Pages a breather.

Blue Jays' Kevin Kiermaier: On bench for Game 1 of twin bill
Kevin Kiermaier (hip) is out of the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader with the Orioles.Kiermaier suffered a left hip contusion in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Rangers, so it's not particularly surprising that he's on the bench while the Toronto Blue Jays face a quick turnaround for the first game of the twin bill. With a left-hander (Cade Povich) set to start for the Orioles in Game 2, the lefty-hitting Kiermaier seems likely to remain out of the lineup for that contest as well.
