Aviles will draw his fourth start at shortstop in five games Sunday against the Orioles, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports.
It looks like Aviles has unseated the struggling Jose Ramirez for primary shortstop duties, but don't expect him to represent a high-end fantasy option at the position. He's batting a respectable .270 with three homers and a stolen base over 112 plate appearances this season, production that largely limits his value to deeper leagues. Even if Aviles is able to continue to hold off Ramirez for regular duties, he seems likely to settle back into a utility role in the second half, when the Indians are expected to bring top prospect Francisco Lindor aboard.
