Utley is not in the lineup Saturday against the Nationals, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Utley has been receiving regular playing time with both Logan Forsythe (shoulder) and Justin Turner (wrist) injured, starting five of the last six games. The 39-year-old has looked like his old self through his first 15 games, hitting .333/.438/.487 with a home run and two steals. His .364 BABIP indicates that he's getting a little lucky, but he's also walking more than he's striking out. Chris Taylor will move in to second base Saturday, with Joc Pederson starting in center field.

Utley is not in the lineup Monday against the Padres, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran infielder has seen an increased role with both Justin Turner (wrist) and Logan Forsythe (shoulder) sidelined, but he'll head to the bench for a night off with southpaw Robbie Erlin taking the hill for San Diego. Kyle Farmer will log a start at the hot corner for the evening while Enrique Hernandez mans the keystone.

Utley went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks and a run scored Sunday against Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Utley managed to reach base three times, improving his OBP to .417 on the season. He's made the most of his limited playing time through his first 12 games, gathering 10 hits on 30 at-bats. Utley's fantasy value is expected to take a hit in the near future, as Justin Turner's (wrist) return from injury inches closer.

Utley went 2-for-6 with a home run, double, two runs scored and one RBI Saturday against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Utley no longer sees regular playing time and it will only continue to diminish once Justin Tuner is able to return to the field. He has remained relatively effective when he does see the field as he currently has an .881 OPS, but his limited playing time makes it difficult to own him in most leagues.

Utley will bat seventh and man the keystone for Friday's contest against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Utley is expected to split time with Enrique Hernandez at second base while Logan Forsythe mans the hot corner in Justin Turner's absence (wrist) to open the 2018 campaign. The 39-year-old veteran served as a pinch hitter during Thursday's Opening Day loss, going 1-for-1 with a stolen base.

With Logan Forsythe expected to fill in for Justin Turner (wrist) at third base, manager Dave Roberts suggested a platoon of Utley and Enrique Hernandez at second base to begin to the year, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turner is expected to be sidelined until the beginning of May at the earliest, opening up regular playing time at the keystone with Forsythe sliding over to the other side of the infield. Roberts ruled out Chris Taylor moving in from center field, so Utley would likely benefit the most from the lineup shuffle, seeing starts against right-handed starters to begin the year. The 39-year-old slashed a meager .236/.324/.405 in 353 plate appearances last season, so it is unlikely that veteran would gain anything more than deep-league value even with semi-regular at-bats.

Utley (personal) rejoined the Dodgers at spring training Sunday after he was away from the team for the past few days to tend to a family matter, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

He'll bat seventh and man second base in Monday's Cactus League game against the Brewers, marking his first action since Friday. Utley, who has gone 4-for-22 at the plate this spring, is slated to open the regular season as a backup option at second and first base.

Utley went 1-for-3 with an RBI during Sunday's win over San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis

Utley missed a few days of spring training with flu-like symptoms, but it appears he's fully recovered from the illness. The 39-year-old second baseman will look to get back into the swing of things as he gets ready for Opening Day.

Utley did not participate at the Dodgers' spring camp Thursday due to an illness, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The flu-like illness has spread rapidly across the Dodgers clubhouse, with more than a dozen players being affected. Utley doesn't have a set return date, but should be considered day-to-day as the illness isn't likely to be a long-term concern.

Utley agreed to a contract with the Dodgers on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of FanRagSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The exact terms of the contract are currently unknown, but the expectation is that it will be a one-year MLB deal. Utley fell off a bit the past few years (.234 batting average, 30 homers total over the last three years), but his veteran presence and his decent positional versatility give him some value in real life. His fantasy value is still negligible while he's blocked for playing time, however.
