Mahtook went 2-for-5 with a triple, three RBI and a run in Sunday's win over the Padres.
After a brutal start to the season, Mahtook has been playing better lately, improving his season slash line up to .253/.282/.444. He also got slotted into the No. 5 spot in this one, but Mahtook is still in a bit of a center-field platoon with Andrew Romine and possibly Matt den Dekker, who got called up Friday with Alex Presley suffering a concussion. However, Mahtook could grab the bulk of the starts moving forward, with Romine settling into a more natural utility role and den Dekker providing depth.
