Yes.™

Don’t ever count out Austin Martin. He has continued to help the team with myriad stellar defensive catches and he’s chipping in the occasional, off-the bench hit. His average is still in the mode zone of a statistically insignificant stone’s throw from .244, around league average. Essentially the same as Luke Keaschall with better defensive.

Keaschall looks better in right.

AT the same time, as Jenkins, Roden, Gonzalez, Culpepper pile up at bats in AAA, it’s tough to ignore that Hendry Mendez is still hitting .339 with an absurdly high OBP.

And to notice that today, it looked like while all of the above that played went 0-fer, Mendez went 1 for 3 in the game Hunter Greene started and threw 6 1-hit innings. Not sure if his hit was off Greene or a reliever but it was 1 of 2 team hits.
