O'Brien went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in Tuesday's loss to the Phillies, leaving five runners on base in the process.

It was another tough night at the plate for the 25-year-old rookie, who is striking out at an alarming 39.3 percent rate. As a power hitter, strikeouts are part of the territory. But if O'Brien can't cut down on his strikeouts a little, he might lose playing time or get sent to Triple-A. He's slashing just .132/.179/.358.
