On Wednesday, Bartlett was able to start running. The Rays expect him to start playing in some minor league games within the next couple of days. If all goes as planned, Bartlett should be able to return at some point next week.

On the season, he’s hitting .373 with seven homers, 30 RBI, 32 runs and 14 stolen bases. He also has 11 doubles, two triples, an on-base percentage of .418 and an OPS of 1.014.

Considering that he’s never been much of a hitter, these are shocking numbers out of Bartlett. It’ll be interesting to see if he can keep his hot bat once he returns from injury. If you have him in a fantasy baseball league, now might be the time to trade him while his value is high.
