Aoki went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's 7-2 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Aoki has started six of the first 11 games and leads Houston with a .350 average (7-for-20) and a .959 OPS after compiling four hits over the last two games. Manager A.J. Hinch has made a point of getting his bench players into games with left field being one of the positions used to achieve that goal. Primarily a leadoff hitter in the past, as an Astro, Aoki has been deployed in the nine-hole, so at-bats are naturally capped. Given that spot in the order and the likelihood he'll be in the lineup against most right-handed starters, we can expect somewhere between 350 and 400 at-bats this season.
