Gerardo Parra went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a walk in Thursday's win over the Phillies.

Parra drove in a run with a bunt in the bottom of the sixth inning, which ended up being the difference in the ballgame. The 26-year-old has hit safely in seven out of his last eight games and owns a quality .307/.377/.467 batting line on the year. He should continue to be relevant in most mixed leagues until Adam Eaton (elbow) is ready to return from the disabled list.

Gerardo Parra hit a three-run homer off Huston Street in the loss to the Padres on Friday.

Parra brought the Diamondbacks back to within a run in the ninth, but it wasn't quite enough. Expected to be the Diamondbacks' fourth outfielder again this year, Parra has played regularly with Adam Eaton out and hit .298 with 19 runs scored in 28 games. He's plenty good enough to remain a starter against right-handers the rest of the way, but the Diamondbacks could shove him back into a reserve role when everyone is healthy.

Gerardo Parra went 2-for-4 with two singles and a run scored in Friday's loss to the Rockies.

Parra has now hit safely in four straight games. While the 25-year-old outfielder has slowed down considerably from his red-hot start, he should continue to be relevant in deeper mixed leagues while Jason Kubel (quad) and Adam Eaton (elbow) are sidelined.

Gerardo Parra blasted a two-run homer and went 3-for-7 in Wednesday's 16-inning win over the Cardinals.

Parra's bat cooled as the game progressed -- his triple and homer were both off St. Louis starter Lance Lynn -- but he's certainly solidified his role until Adam Eaton returns from the disabled list. The 25-year-old has begun the season on fire, batting .500/.500/1.000 in 16 at-bats. Earlier in the day, D'Backs skipper Kirk Gibson announced that Parra would remain the leadoff hitter until Adam Eaton or Willie Bloomquist returned from the disabled list. The Venezuelan should be in mixed league lineups until his bat cools.

Gerardo Parra went 4-for-5 with three doubles and a run scored in Monday's win over the Cardinals.

One of Parra's doubles likely would have been a homer in most parks, but the ball went off the top of the tall wall in right-center field at the 413-foot mark. Parra will be a regular until Adam Eaton returns from the disabled list.

Gerardo Parra delivered another strong performance in Friday's victory over the Indians, going 1-for-3 with a double and three RBI.

On the same day that it was announced Adam Eaton would be lost for the first 6-8 weeks of the season, Parra did his best to show he's capable of handling the load in the meantime. He's hitting .359/.386/.718 this spring with three bombs, 15 RBI and two steals, and it certainly a worthwhile gamble for the first few weeks of the season, especially if he takes over Eaton's spot atop the lineup.
