DeJesus went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer in the Rays' win over the Marlins on Sunday. With John Jaso (wrist) on the disabled list and still unable to swing a bat, DeJesus could see an uptick in playing time over the coming weeks, specifically against right-handed starters. In the two games he's played thus far, DeJesus has been used in the leadoff spot and in the No. 2 hole, which should enable him to generate plenty of runs scored if he's able to hold down one of those spots. It's reasonable to think that DeJesus would have started more games during the weekend series if the Rays had not been on the road in Miami without the flexibility of the DH spot. DeJesus may see as many as five starts in the upcoming week, as the Rays will match up with a pair of AL East rivals.
