Rendon went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the White Sox.
Rendon endured a slow start to the season, but his bat has come alive in June, as he has an OPS of 1.053 this month. He has been operating out of the seventh spot in the lineup of late, but his recent success, combined with the struggles of Washington's current top-of-the-order selections, could see him move up if current trends continue. Rendon's injury-riddled 2015 campaign made him a virtual afterthought heading into 2016, but perhaps a player who finished fifth in MVP voting in 2014 should not be so easily dismissed.
