Playing time trending down Mercado is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Clubs third homer Mercado went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Rangers.

Impact He launched one of Cleveland's three solo shots off Jake Latz in the Texas southpaw's big-league debut. Mercado only has three long balls through 44 games on the season, and since resuming a regular role in August, he's slashing just .233/.309/.356.

AUGUST 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Impact The outfielder got to second base on an error, stole third and scored on a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning. It was Mercado's fifth steal in six attempts this season. While he's slashing only .215/.288/.336, Mercado could be in line for a fairly regular role in left field with Harold Ramirez (knee) landing on the injured list Friday.

Big night in loss Mercado went 4-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact His solo shot in the ninth inning off Jordan Romano was the last gasp of a Cleveland rally after they headed into the eighth in an 8-0 hole. Mercado hadn't had a multi-hit performance since July 10, which was also when he hit his only other homer on the year, but the 26-year-old is making a case for a consistent role by slashing .275/.341/.400 over his last 12 games.

Gets another start Mercado will start in right field and bat sixth Monday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Mercado remains in the lineup for the fourth time in five games, but he's mostly benefited from Cleveland facing a slew of lefty starting pitchers of late. The righty-hitting Mercado will likely find himself out of the lineup more often than not versus right-handed pitching, with Harold Ramirez, Myles Straw and Bradley Zimmer typically representing Cleveland's preferred outfield configuration on those occasions. Since being promoted from Triple-A Columbus on June 28, Mercado has slashed an unremarkable .212/.297/.348 across 74 plate appearances while going 3-for-4 on stolen-base attempts.
