On bench after six straight starts
Hoskins is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.
Analyse
Hoskins will head to the bench after he had started in each of the last six games, going a collective 4-for-20 with a home run, two doubles, a walk and two RBI during that stretch. Though he should remain a mainstay in the Cleveland lineup against left-handed pitching, Hoskins is still expected to play second fiddle to Kyle Manzardo at first base versus righties.

Drawing fifth straight start
Hoskins will start at first base and bat cleanup in Sunday's game against the Phillies.
Analyse
Hoskins will stick in the lineup for the fifth game in a row, with four of those starts coming at first base in place of Kyle Manzardo. The two had largely been working in a platoon this season, but Manzardo has been on the bench for three of the last four matchups with right-handed pitchers despite having posted a .924 OPS since the beginning of May. It's unclear if Hoskins has usurped Manzardo as the Guardians' primary option at first base, or if manager Stephen Vogt simply wanted to give Hoskins extra playing time during a series in Philadelphia, where the 33-year-old spent the first seven seasons of his big-league career.
