In 101 games this year, he’s hitting .311 with 20 home runs and 66 RBI. On top of that, he has 23 doubles and 36 walks.
Since July 4th, Meneses has been held without a hit only twice. That’s at least one hit in twenty-three out of his last twenty-five games. In that stretch, he had six four-plus hit games, including three straight from July 30th to August 1st.
In his last ten games, he’s 11 for 38 with three home runs and eight RBI.
It doesn’t look like Meneses is going to slow down during the last few months. Don’t be surprised if he is one of the Phillies’ September call-ups. If he does get the call, he can be a dangerous weapon off the bench during the race for the NL East.
