Hosmer is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis

Hosmer has ridden a career-best 14.5 percent strikeout rate to a .324/.382/.849 slash line so far this season. He's still pounding the ball into the ground as much as ever, resulting in a 4.3 percent barrel rate and a modest four homers, but his season should finish as one of his most productive ever if he can continue making this much contact. The veteran will get his first day off in over a month Saturday, with Luke Voit starting at first base and Jurickson Profar resting his legs as the designated hitter.

Hosmer went 3-for-5 with two runs and two RBI in an 11-6 win over the Braves on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran first baseman knocked in a pair of runs with a fifth-inning single, and he scored in each of the seventh and ninth innings. This was the second straight three-hit game and third consecutive multi-hit performance for Hosmer, who has gone 8-for-14 with a homer and five RBI during the hot stretch. He leads the league with a .377 average on the season, just ahead of teammate Manny Machado's .371 mark.

Hosmer went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two RBI in the loss to the Cubs on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hosmer singled and drove in a run in the first inning and then launched a solo homer off Mychal Givens in the seventh frame. He later added another single. The long ball was Hosmer's fourth of the season and first since April 30. The first baseman also put together his second straight multi-hit effort and his season slash line now sits at .367/.434/.550, all of which are career bests. In what has been a resurgent season for Hosmer, he has four homers, 21 RBI and 13 runs over 109 at-bats in 30 games.

Hosmer went 2-for-6 with three walks, a double, three RBI and a run during Wednesday's doubleheader split versus Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Hosmer was particularly productive in Game 1 of the twin bill, when he reached base four times and drove in a pair. The veteran extended his on-base streak to nine games in the second contest, and he is slashing .414/.564/.759 with three homers, 12 RBI and seven runs over that stretch. Hosmer leads MLB with a .378 average and .457 on-base percentage this season.

Hosmer went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's loss to the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

The Padres were held scoreless through three innings before Hosmer delivered a three-run shot in the fourth to give his team a brief lead. The long ball was his third in the past five games after he failed to go deep through his first 15 contests of the campaign. The power surge has added value to an already impressive season for Hosmer -- he leads MLB with a .389 average and is tied for third with 28 hits.

Hosmer went 2-for-2 with a solo homer, two walks and two RBI in Wednesday's victory over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

The first baseman continued his hot start to the season Wednesday, notching Hosmer an RBI single in the fifth inning before launching his second homer of the campaign off Alexis Diaz in the eighth. Hosmer has now homered in consecutive contests and produced multiple hits in five of his last seven games. He now has an eye popping .410/.463/.607 slash on the season with eight extra-base hits and 10 RBI in 61 at-bats.

Hosmer went 2-for-3 with two walks and a three-run home run in Tuesday's win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Hosmer broke the game open for San Diego with his homer off lefty Reiver Sanmartin in the top of the fourth inning, his first long ball of the year. With a .390 average in the early going, Hosmer currently leads baseball in that department, but he had a .457 BABIP entering Tuesday's game and had previously provided very little in terms of extra-base power.

Hosmer will be on the bench Monday against the Reds, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hosmer will sit against lefty Nick Lodolo, meaning he's now been out of the lineup against two of the four lefties the Padres have faced this season. Luke Voit will play first base, with Austin Nola serving as the designated hitter.

Hosmer went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and a run in Thursday's 12-1 win over the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Hosmer put the Padres on the board in the first inning with a two-run single, and he went on to rack up three more hits in the contest. This was the veteran's fourth multi-hit performance in seven games so far this season, pushing his average to .462. Hosmer is tied for the MLB lead with 12 hits overall on the campaign.

Hosmer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Hosmer is 6-for-12 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs through the first three games of the season, but he'll take a seat Sunday with southpaw Caleb Smith pitching for the Diamondbacks. Luke Voit will start at first base while Austin Nola serves as the designated hitter in the series finale.
