Leon celebrated his first major league start of 2016 by going 4-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 15-4 victory over the Twins.

Having just been called up from Triple-A Pawtucket last Sunday to fill the vacancies prompted by injuries to Ryan Hanigan (neck) and Blake Swihart (ankle), Leon broke out in fine fashion in his first start. The 27-year-old had also tallied a pinch-hit double on Tuesday versus the Giants, so he maintains a perfect 1.000 average after Saturday's effort. If Leon's two previous major league stints are any indication, the success is likely fleeting, as he's hit just .156 and .184, respectively, over the last two seasons with the Nationals and Red Sox.
