The utility man has reached base safely in 10 straight games, batting a sizzling .429 (15-for-35) with two homers, four runs and seven RBI over that span. Donovan has brought his season average up to .277 with the hot stretch as he seeks to reach the .280 mark for the third time in three big-league campaigns.

He may spend more time in left to close out the campaign with Thomas Saggese getting a look at the keystone.
