Since May 2, Ryan Raburn is batting an anemic .172/.273/.241 over 33 plate appearances. Raburn lived a charmed life in April, slashing .320/.370/.620 in the season's opening month. The wheels have come off since he went 4-for-5 against the Phillies on May 1. Since that time, he's seen his OPS deflate from 1.061 to .871 with no signs of slowing. Raburn began losing playing time when Michael Bourne returned, but there was hope he'd grab some playing time following the demotion of Lonnie Chisenhall. ESPN Fantasy reports that Raburn has been dropped from 35.6% of baseball leagues over the past week. He's now owned in just 32.1%, a number that's still too high.

Ryan Raburn stayed white-hot Wednesday, going 4-for-5 with a pair of RBI in Wednesday's win over the Phillies. Raburn benefited from an infield single and a bloop, but there's no doubting that he's feeling it at the plate right now. The outfielder had a pair of homers in each of his previous two games and now has a total of 11 hits over his last 13 at-bats. He should remain in AL-only lineups.

Ryan Raburn hit two home runs and tallied four RBI in the Indians' 13-10 win over the Reds Saturday. We've seen this movie before. Raburn destroyed spring pitching while with the Tigers last year before completely falling apart during the regular season. The 31-year-old was released by Detroit in November after registering a .171/.226/.254 batting line in 222 plate appearances. Raburn is fighting for a bench spot with the Indians, and more days like Saturday will go a long way toward helping him secure one of those spots.
