Aviles will reclaim the leadoff hitter role against both right-handers

Aviles will reclaim the leadoff hitter role against both right-handers and left-handers, the Providence Journal reports.

Spin: Aviles has mashed the ball in the six games, with seven extra-base hits including homers to lead off each of the last two games. He was the original choice for the job when Jacoby Ellsbury injured his shoulder, but Aviles eventually saw his on-base percentage dip to .287, as manager Bobby Valentine experimented with Ryan Sweeney against right-handers. Sweeney didn't perform well there, so the manager has gone back to Aviles full time.

Mike Aviles went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

Impacts: Aviles' first inning solo shot off of Cliff Lee was his third in three games. One of the game's streakiest hitters, Aviles added an RBI single in the second. Bringing a .275/.303/.497 triple slash into one of his patented hot streaks, there's no reason to bench Aviles until he shows signs of cooling.
