Desmond went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in an extra-innings victory over the Giants on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Desmond cranked a 419-foot shot to center field in the fourth inning before being lifted for a pinch hitter in the eighth frame of the 16-inning affair. The 34-year-old continues to be a decent source of homers (19) and RBI (64) but has experienced a sharp decline in the stolen base department this season, swiping only three bags after reaching double digits in steals during each of the previous nine campaigns.

Desmond is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Dodgers.

Desmond is not in the lineup Monday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Desmond is just 2-for-18 (.111) with zero extra-base hits in his career against opposing starter Walker Buehler, so he'll head to the bench for Monday's series opener as Sam Hilliard picks up a start in left field in his place. Over his past five games, the soon-to-be 34-year-old is slashing .300/.364/.600 with a home run and three doubles.

Desmond is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Desmond had three hits, including a home run, in Friday's loss to Pittsburgh, but he'll sit Saturday as Sam Hilliard shifts to left field and Garrett Hampson starts in center. While Desmond has been below replacement level again this season, he still has two more years remaining on his contract, and the Rockies do not appear intent on significantly reducing his playing time in September.
