Howie Kendrick has hit safely in four straight games. Kendrick is hitting .275 (19-for-69) with one home run, 10 RBI and two stolen bases in 18 games. Even though Alberto Callaspo and Erick Aybar are both sidelined and Mike Trout has been moved down in the order, he has batted sixth in every game this season. Kendrick's 18 homers in 2011 were likely an outlier, but he still has the potential to be a top-12 second baseman in mixed fantasy leagues.
