Venable is starting in right field and batting eighth against Milwaukee on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Venable is making his first start for the Dodgers this season after they acquired him on Tuesday. He's likely to be a fill-in outfielder going forward given the Dodgers have Howie Kendrick and Jace Peterson playing regularly and Yasiel Puig is returning soon. However, his left-handed bat could provide him playing time as he'd be a solid matchup against right-handers.
