Guerrero (back) is out of the lineup Saturday against the Mets.

He has seen limited chances this month -- he's made just three starts and totaled 16 at-bats -- and it's uncertain whether the injury is the reason for his absence Saturday. Guerrero was scratched from Friday's lineup less than an hour before first pitch due to back stiffness.

Guerrero is not in the lineup Monday against the Cubs, David Vassegh of Dodger Talk reports.

Guerrero got the start in Sunday's 10-2 win over the Giants, but he's made only two starts in the last 11 games, serving mostly as a pinch hitter. He'll return to the bench Monday as the Dodgers go with a starting outfield of Yasiel Puig, Joc Pederson and Scott Van Slyke.

Chris Heisey will start in left field and bat second against lefty Jaime Garcia, as Guerrero sits for fourth time in seven June games.

Guerrero sat out Game 2 after going 1-for-4 in the opener, but he once again displayed why he's been baseball's most devastating bench bat.

Though fantasy owners have to be disappointed Guerrero will miss out on picking up regular at-bats in the series opener at Coors Field, he should receive plenty of opportunities to hit in the thin air of Colorado, where the Dodgers will play three more games this week before leaving town. Enrique Hernandez will cover left field Monday while Guerrero settles for pinch-hitting duties.

Guerrero went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Braves.

Guerrero's ninth-inning solo shot gave the Dodgers a late spark, but it wasn't enough to overcome a two-run deficit, as Jason Grilli eventually closed the book on the evening contest. It was Guerrero's ninth long ball of the season, as the 28-year-old now owns a commendable 1.045 OPS through his first 87 at-bats of the year. With Juan Uribe now out of the mix and reps at third base and left field up for grabs, Guerrero warrants a look in nearly all formats.

As was the case earlier this season when he was more of a part-time player, Guerrero continues to be a menace for pitchers off the bench. He's now homered three times in pinch-hit scenarios, becoming the first Dodgers player to accomplish that in a season since Wilson Betemit in 2007. Perhaps more incredibly, he's gone deep a total of eight times in only 86 plate appearances this season.

After starting the season on fire, bashing five home runs in a ten-game stretch after being called up, Guerrero has cooled off in the power department and had gone 14 games without a homer prior to Sunday.

Scott Van Slyke will start in left field and Justin Turner will start at third base Friday, although it would not be surprising to see Guerrero make a pinch-hit appearance. His playing time is unpredictable, but he usually sees a handful of starts per week.
