Losing playing time to Edman

Kiermaier will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Analyse

Though he'll pick up his second start in a row Sunday, Kiermaier has faded into more of a part-time role after serving as the Dodgers' primary option in center field through the first three weeks of August. Tommy Edman has since taken over as the Dodgers' preferred center fielder, but manager Dave Roberts will make room for both Kiermaier and Edman on Sunday while the latter fills in at shortstop for a resting Miguel Rojas.
