Fielder went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer and two walks Wednesday at the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Fielder launched his eighth homer of the year in the sixth inning, but it did little to help the Rangers, as they were clobbered by the Red Sox. He's now hit safely in four of his last five games, and he's slashing .219/.298/.352 on the year.

Fielder went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Yankee Stadium on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Fielder is hitting just .217 with a career-low .346 slugging percentage, but has still driven in a respectable 40 runs in 73 games thanks to his continued place in the heart of a talented Rangers lineup. Perhaps the veteran slugger is gearing up for a second-half surge after having hit safely in 10 consecutive contests and scoring in five straight.

Fielder went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk Sunday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Fielder's seventh blast of the year moved the Rangers out to a four-run lead in the sixth inning of a game they'd go on to win. He's now hit safely in eight straight games, and he's left the yard in two of his last three contests to move his slash line to .211/.282/.340.

Fielder is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cardinals, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fielder hasn't shown many recent signs of breaking out of his season-long slumber, as he's gone a meager 2-for-14 over his last four starts. He'll get the day off Sunday and could be at risk of losing more at-bats now that the Rangers lineup is at close to full strength with the recent return of Shin-Soo Choo from the DL.

Fielder tied the game with ninth-inning home run on Saturday, giving him a pair of homers in his last five games and eight hits in his past 23 at-bats.
EDGE Analysis
Fielder appears to have responded well for the few games on the bench late last week in an effort to end a prolonged slump. He could make for a decent buy-low option if his original owner had given up on him.

Fielder is back in the lineup Monday against the Astros, Jeff Wilson of the Forth Worth Star-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fielder was held out of each of the last two games as he continues to struggle at the plate, but he'll return to action Monday at his usual first base spot. The Rangers' leash for Fielder appears to have shortened, so if he's unable to turn things around, Mitch Moreland could see more regular playing time at first, with a handful of other players handling DH duties. Over the last three days, the Rangers have tabbed both Jurickson Profar and Roughned Odor to serve as the designated hitter.

Fielder isn't in the lineup Sunday against the Mariners, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Wort Star-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fielder's season-long batting woes combined with the abundance of hitting talent on the Rangers' roster have forced manager Jeff Banister to make the tough decision to pull the veteran from the lineup for the second game in a row. With Rougned Odor back from suspension, the Rangers have kept Jurickson Profar's hot bat in the lineup by using him as DH, and that trend could continue until Profar cools down. Those who own Fielder in shallower formats ought to consider dropping him, giving his extensive struggles and the fact that regular at-bats may no longer be guaranteed.

Fielder went 1-for-4 with a home run and a strikeout against Pittsburgh on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Fielder hit his third homer of the year, but he's been a massive disappointment this season. The 32-year-old slugger has hit .197 with a .574 OPS, and both marks are well below his career averages. One silver lining is that he's hit in eight of the past 10 games, so he could be starting to turn things around.

Fielder went 1-for-3 with a two-run double in Friday's 2-1 victory over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran slugger came through with a third-inning double to deep left field that plated Shin-Soo-Choo and Ian Desmond for all the runs the Rangers would need. It was a much-needed positive development for Fielder, who's still only slashing .197/.265/.289 on the season. However, he does have a modest three-game hitting streak and despite a considerable power drought, has also managed to drive in 23 runs overall. However, he's a long way away from righting the ship, as evidenced by the fact that his average has actually plummeted 10 points during May.

Fielder is not in Monday's lineup against Oakland, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fielder will get a day of rest with lefty Sean Manaea on the hill for Oakland. Adrian Beltre will become the designated hitter for Texas while Hanser Alberto slots into third base.
