Plouffe went 3-for-5 with a walk, three RBI and scored a run in Wednesday's win over the Braves.
Since returning from the DL with a rib injury, Plouffe is 8-for-25 (.320) with a pair of extra-base hits and five RBI over seven games. Overall on the year, Plouffe's batting average of .259 is up from his career mark of .246, but his power numbers are down a tick. He'll need to hit with more pop to become relevant in standard leagues, but until then, he makes for a decent option in deep mixers and AL-only formats.
