Before he suffered a right ankle sprain when he rolled it rounding first base on a soggy dirt infield in Wrigley Field in the middle of last month, Victor Robles was on a roll at the plate.
After a .227/.346/.273 month of April, in which he hit one double and one triple with nine walks and 18 Ks in 22 games and 78 plate appearances, Robles was up to .265/.345/.388 over 18 games and 56 PAs in May, with six doubles, four walks, and 14 Ks over that stretch.
His improved plate discipline in the first two months stood out.
