Making the start at first base, Avila went 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Monday's win over the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

Avila has appeared at first base a few times this season, and he could get some more starts there on occasion, although Miguel Cabrera is due back soon. Either way, Avila is swinging a hot bat, and it appears manager Brad Ausmus wants to find ways to get it into the lineup.
