Hosmer went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Hosmer has homered in each of his last two games after going 32 contests without a long ball for much of May and June. The first baseman is up to six homers, 31 RBI, 25 runs scored, 12 doubles and a .282/.346/.407 slash line through 64 contests overall. While his power is getting back on track, he's batting just .197 (14-for-71) in June, so he'll need to improve his overall approach at the plate.

EDGE Analysis
Hosmer will sit out for the day game after he played all 11 innings in Tuesday night's 3-2 win while going 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk. Luke Voit, who typically serves as San Diego's designated hitter, will replace Hosmer at first base.

Hosmer went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 3-2 extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Hosmer tied the game at 2-2 with his sixth-inning blast. This was his first extra-base hit in seven games and his first homer since May 11. The first baseman has cooled off noticeably in June -- his batting average has dropped 40 points since the start of the month, and he now has a .278/.344/.392 slash line in 63 contests. He's added five homers, 30 RBI, 24 runs scored and 12 doubles.

Hosmer will sit Tuesday against the Cardinals.

Hosmer went 2-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
After reaching base three times on the night, Hosmer's on-base average sits at a robust .392 through 40 games on the season. He's propped up the OBA with a .327 batting average, but his production in the other four main rotisserie categories still leaves something to be desired. Despite playing in all but three of the Padres' games this season, Hosmer has provided only four home runs, 24 RBI, 16 runs and zero stolen bases.
