JAMES OUTMAN NEWS

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.

Belts eighth homer Sunday Outman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 5-2 extra-inning win against the Padres.

Impact Outman delivered in the 10th inning for the Dodgers, blasting a two-run shot to right field to give the team a three-run cushion. It was the outfielder's eighth long ball of the season, tied with with Josh Jung for the MLB lead among rookies. Outman has added a .274/.370/.581 slash line, 23 runs, 23 RBI and four stolen bases, with his 32.6 percent strikeout rate being the only notable cause for concern about his outlook moving forward.

Bounce-back aided by adjustment The Dodgers noticed a "mechanical tweak" in Outman's setup at the plate during his recent slump, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, and the rookie outfielder has since rebounded by...

Impact Outman experienced his first true slump -- albeit brief -- as a major-leaguer last week when he went 0-for-11 with nine strikeouts over a three-game stretch. Ardaya reports that the staff noticed a change in Outman's setup that limited "his ability first to see, then get to some of the off-speed offerings that pitching staffs have fed him," and they consequently worked to get the rookie outfielder to open up more at the plate. Outman went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles Wednesday, lifting his batting average to .400 (6-for-15) with a pair of steals and six runs since the adjustment was made. The 25-year-old has struck out seven times over that span, but his performance as a whole has been impressive this season, and he was just named the NL Rookie of the Month for April after slashing .292/.376/.615 with seven homers, 20 RBI, 17 runs and four thefts through April 30.

Snaps slump with two hits Outman went 2-for-3 with a run and a stolen base Saturday in a 1-0 victory versus the Cardinals.

Impact Coming into the contest, Outman was mired in a rough three-game cold spell during which he went 0-for-11 with nine strikeouts. The rookie bounced back Saturday, finishing as the only player in the contest with multiple hits. He followed a single in the third inning with a stolen base and then came around to score the only run of the game on an Austin Barnes single. Outman's 33.3 percent strikeout rate this season is concerning, but he's still managed to put together a strong stat line that includes a .290/.371/.624 slash line, seven homers, four doubles, three triples, 16 runs, 20 RBI and three stolen bases.

Stays hot Saturday Outman went 4-for-5 with a two-run home run, a solo home run and an RBI single in Saturday's 9-4 win over the Cubs.

Impact Outman gave the Dodgers a 2-1 lead in the second with a solo shot off Hayden Wesneski and extended the advantage to 9-4 in the ninth with a two-run shot off Brad Boxberger. The young outfielder now has seven homers and 19 RBI on the season, but the majority of that production (four homers and nine RBI) has come during the first three matchups of a four-game series in Chicago.
