Outman has added 14 homers, 14 stolen bases, 51 RBI and 60 runs scored while seeing the bulk of the playing time in center field.

Reaches base five times in win Outman went 4-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Monday's 13-7 victory over San Diego.

Impact Outman was locked in at the plate Monday, as each of his four hits registered an exit velocity of 99.6 mph or higher. In 21 games since the All-Star break, the rookie outfielder is slashing an impressive .360/.420/.623 with two home runs, nine RBI, 13 runs scored and four steals across 81 plate appearances during that span.

Productive in Friday's win Outman went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 10-5 win over the Padres.

Impact Outman snapped an 11-game homer drought Friday, though he was still solid with six RBI, two steals and two doubles while batting .300 in that span. The outfielder remains in a strong-side platoon role, though he's potentially earned a bit more than that after starting against two of the three southpaws the Dodgers faced in their series versus Oakland. He's at a .252/.352/.435 slash line with 13 homers, 13 steals, 49 RBI and 55 runs scored over 369 plate appearances.

Sitting versus lefty Outman is not in the lineup Thursday against Oakland.

Showing improved plate discipline In 16 games since the All-Star break, Outman has posted a 25.0 percent walk rate and a 21.7 percent strikeout rate. Prior to the break, those numbers were 8.6 percent and 34.4 perc...

Impact Outman has reached base safely in all but two of his 16 games in the second half, with his ability to draw free passes being a big part of that success. The rookie struggled mightily with strikeouts early in the campaign, which led to him holding a mediocre .236 batting average going into the All-Star break. Outman has looked like a different player coming out of the break, with his strikeout percentage dropping to a palatable 21.7 percent and, not coincidentally, his slash line looking solid at .318/.500/.432. He's gone deep only once in 60 plate appearances, but his ability to get on base has helped lead to three thefts and nine runs scored. Outman's improvements at the plate -- along with his strong defense in center field -- have helped him remain in the lineup on a near-everyday basis and have improved his fantasy outlook in both redraft and dynasty formats.

Sitting versus lefty Outman isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Friday against the Reds, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Plays hero Tuesday Outman went 3-for-3 with an RBI double, two walks, one stolen base and one run scored in Tuesday's 8-7 extra-inning win over the Blue Jays.

Impact Outman came into the game 0-for-6 across his last two contests. He was able to turn things around, getting on base in all five of his plate appearances Tuesday, which included him knocking a walk-off double in the 10th inning. The outfielder's strong performance lifted his slash line to .247/.341/.427 with 12 home runs, 43 RBI, 51 runs scored and 11 stolen bases through 94 contests. With Jake Marisnick (hamstring) on the injured list and Jonny DeLuca (hamstring) exiting Tuesday's game, Outman could see his playing time solidify into more of a full-time role in the near term.

Goes deep in loss Outman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to Baltimore.

Impact Outman took Dean Kremer deep in the fourth inning, belting a 414-foot solo shot to left-center field. It was his first long ball since he swatted two homers against Pittsburgh on July 4. Outman has come out of the All-Star break well, slashing .353/.522/.588 with a stolen base through six contests. Perhaps most promisingly, he's been showing a better eye at the plate, posting a 6:6 BB:K after recording a 26:104 mark in the first half of the campaign.

Reaches base four times Outman went 2-for-4 with two walks, a stolen base and a run in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Orioles.

Impact Outman's National League Rookie of the Year campaign has lost some steam while his power has largely gone for the past two and a half months. Since the beginning of May, Outman has produced just 11 extra-base hits (four home runs, seven doubles) in 59 games. Though his struggles for much of May and June looked as though it could result in a demotion to Triple-A Oklahoma City, Outman has at least shown improved contact-hitting and on-base skills thus far in July. He's hitting .316 and owns a .435 OBP in 12 games this month while striking out at a manageable 26.1 percent clip, more than seven points below his season-long rate (33.6 percent).
