Ruf went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and two total runs scored in Saturday's 6-5 win over Oakland.
The 35-year-old went back-to-back with Brandon Belt in the seventh inning, cutting San Francisco's deficit to one run. Ruf was also on base after a walk in the second inning when Kris Bryant homered. While his playing time has dried up with San Francisco's batters nearly at full health, Ruf has gone 11-for-34 (.324) with three homers, seven RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base in August. Ruf's path to playing time is as a short-side platoon option with Belt at first base or one of Alex Dickerson or LaMonte Wade in left field.
