Mondesi didn't get the start in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Yankees, but he came into the game in the ninth inning, and went 1-for-1 with two stolen bases.

He led off the inning with a single against Aroldis Chapman, and then took matter into his own hands after Alex Gordon and Alcides Escobar failed to advance him by stealing second and third before Chapman was able to close out a 5-4 Yankees win. Even with Mike Moustakas now in Milwaukee, there's no guarantee Mondesi will see consistent playing time down the stretch, but his .294/.310/.471 slash line with three homers and eight steals in 24 games suggests he's a much better option in a starting role than either Hunter Dozier or Escobar.
