EDGE Analysis

Kinsler checked in with his sixth long ball of the season with a second-inning solo shot off Edwin Jackson.

Kinsler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

After surrendering the primary second-base job to Greg Garcia, Kinsler surprisingly re-entered the lineup for each of the first three games of the series with Pittsburgh. Kinsler showed some signs of life with a home run as one of his four hits the past three days, but he'll need to keep raking in his subsequent opportunities before recapturing a full-time gig.

Kinsler went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run to help the Padres to a 4-3 win over the Pirates on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Kinsler's early-season struggles have been well-documented, but he checked in with a three-run long ball to provide most of the offense for the Padres in this one-run victory. It was a welcome sight for Kinsler to leave the yard, as his prolonged slump has seen his playing time dip recently. He's still sporting a meager .175/.233/.342 slash line over 120 at-bats.

Kinsler remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Kinsler went without a start in the three-game series at Coors Field, as Greg Garcia took his spot at second base for every contest. With Garcia seemingly ahead of him on the depth chart, Fernando Tatis Jr. (hamstring) nearing a return from the injured list and Luis Urias raking at Triple-A El Paso, Kinsler may be at some risk of losing his roster spot before the end of the season. The 36-year-old has slashed just .177/.238/.327 across 122 plate appearances in 2019.
