The 31-year-old has posted multiple hits in three of the last five games, going 7-for-16 (.438) in that span. The infielder has an uninspiring .222/.328/.333 slash line with three homers, 15 RBI, 26 runs scored and four stolen bases in eight attempts through 61 games.

He lines up for a home start versus Washington next week.
