At the beginning of August, rookie outfielder Dustin Fowler was demoted back to Triple-A Nashville. The 23-year-old had reached MLB in early May and held his own for a couple months, but his bat slowed down as July wore on. He began to lose playing time to the unexpected breakout of Nick Martini, and after a 3-for-32 slump he lost his roster spot to fellow rookie Ramon Laureano.
Fortunately, it took Fowler exactly zero time to get back on track in Triple-A. He notched three hits in his first game, then two more, then another two. He’s now played 11 games since returning to Nashville, and 10 of them were multi-hit efforts.
