DeJong went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run, a walk and two runs in Sunday's 9-9 Grapefruit League tie with the Marlins.

DeJong, who's slated to start the 2017 campaign at Triple-A Memphis, is now slashing .281/.324/.531 with a triple, two homers, six RBI, two walks and nine runs (tied with Jose Martinez for the spring team lead). If the 23-year-old prospect can duplicate some of the success he's found against major league pitching in the coming minor league season, he could be reunited with his spring teammates before 2017 is out. One of the areas in which DeJong will look to improve on with Memphis will be his contact rate, as he whiffed on 26.1 percent of his 552 plate appearances at Double-A Springfield in 2016.
