The 36-year-old veteran has slashed just .216/.349/.341 with four home runs, 21 RBI and 17 runs over 52 games this year, but he's been showing some promising signs at the plate in June. He has a .357/.478/.554 slash line this month that's supported by a .607 xSLG and a 92.3 mph average exit velocity.
