Descalso replaced Troy Tulowitzki (quadriceps) in the third inning of Saturday's game against the Dodgers and had a productive night, finishing 2-for-3 with a double, three RBI, and a stolen base. Early indications are that Tulowitzki likely won't require a DL stint, but the shortstop's shaky history on the health front makes the situation worth monitoring. Descalso stands as the main beneficiary for at-bats if Tulowitzki misses further time, but he shouldn't be counted on to replicate Friday's performance. A career .239 hitter with only 10 homers in 1,422 plate appearances, Descalso's value is almost exclusively tied to his glove.
