Francisco returned from the IL list and played in last night's game, but went 0-4 as the DH.

Francisco is finally off the AAA interstate.
His 2-4 (with a homer and 5 RBI today) put his BA at an even .200.

Francisco had seven hits with a pair of home runs in 20 at-bats in his first full series since an ankle injury sidelined him in late August.

Maybe he needs an ankle injury every once in a while to give him a jump start.

You may be onto something.
He was 3 for 3 last night with a double and homer in a rain shortened game.
Maybe he is stepping more gingerly because he's afraid to inure it again, and it has altered his stroke or approach to the pitch.

Francisco Álvarez since returning from an ankle injury for Triple-A Syracuse:
- 8 G, 34 PA, .387/.441/.742, 3 HR, 10 RBI, 5 XBH, 3 BB, 8 K
He didn't play last night.
I hope he finishes out the season strong and plays every game until the season ends on Thursday.

With no announcement whether yesterday's rainout will be made up, Francisco went 2-3 in today's final regular season game.
He finished the season with a .234/.382/.443 line at AAA - 158AB, 31R, 37H, 6-0-9, 31 RBI in 45G
and
.277/.368/.553 at AA - 253AB, 43R,70H, 16-0-18, 47RBI in 76 G.
Combined stats:
.260/.374/.511 22-0-27 78RBI.
Not bad for a 20 year old in 112 games.

The walk rate might be the most impressive part.
A 65 - 70 point gap between a hitters BA & OBA is about average.
Lurking around 100 and even 100+ point gap when young and young for your league is a very good sign.

He had surgery to repair his inured ankle, and will be ready for Spring Training.
