  • Dodgers' James Outman: Clubs 22nd homer

    Outman went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Giants.

    Outman is still searching for a multi-hit game in September, having gone 12-for-66 (.181) this month. He's made up for the slump a bit with five homers and nine RBI over his last 21 contests, and he's still seeing most of the playing time in center field. Outman is up to 22 long balls, 68 RBI, 81 runs scored, 15 stolen bases and a .244/.351/.434 slash line through 145 games this year.

It's a downturn on offense for the outfielder, who has slashed .245/.354/.434 with 21 homers, 66 RBI, 78 runs scored and 15 stolen bases through 139 contests overall.

  • Dodgers' James Outman: Swipes 15th bag

    Outman went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run and a stolen base Saturday in an extra-innings loss to the Nationals.

The theft was his 15th of the campaign, second-most on the Dodgers behind Freddie Freeman. Outman also has 18 homers on the season, making him one of three MLB rookies with at least 15 stolen bases and 15 home runs.

    Outman isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Friday against the Red Sox, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

  • Dodgers' James Outman: 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.

    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.

  • Dodgers' James Outman: Sitting versus lefty

    Outman is not in the lineup Thursday against Oakland.

  • Dodgers' James Outman: 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 percent, respectively.

    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.

  • Dodgers' James Outman: 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.

    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.
