Valbuena's lone hit in five plate appearances Monday left the yard for a three-run home run in an 11-9 victory over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Valbuena has been on a mission to make up for a poor first half with 12 homers and 30 RBI in 38 games following the All-Star break. The 31-year-old is still batting a meager .227 over that span, but he is finally delivering on the "all" portion of the all-or-nothing label that has been placed on him as a hitter. Valbuena may not fit into every fantasy owner's plans, but he certainly has a place on teams desperate for a boost in homers.
