Since injuring his shoulder and missing a couple of games, Fowler has a .520 (13-25) on-base percentage. There’s also been back-to-back games with pinch-hit, game-winning RBIs. And he leads the Cardinals with a .368 average with runners in scoring position.
It’s those kind of contributions that have kept him in the lineup despite still being affected by the shoulder on some of his throws from the outfield.
