Rest-of-Season Projections
In leadoff spot
Short is starting at second base and batting leadoff Tuesday against the Rangers.
ANALYSIS
He could be used fairly regularly in the leadoff spot versus left-handed pitching while Matt Vierling (back) is sidelined. Short is sporting a nifty .937 OPS with three home runs in 20 games with the big club, although his track record suggest the success is likely to be short-lived (no pun intended).
