I think they may keep hold of him as long as possible, because if you're looking for one scenario that MIGHT give him AB's, it's the roster time manipulation

So, if they are looking to manipulate that extra year of service, Frelick, Turang, Weimer are all staying down til mid may, making him a 5th outfielder/backup (or even 3rd choice) DH. This still doesnt sound likely, but with the injury history of Winker and the desire to give Contreras some breaks, I think they may want him around if Winker plays 80 games, but if he plays 130-140 then Hiura is surplus to requirements

That's the only scenario I currently see for him for playing time

The crew seems to like keeping guys that don't work around example Ray!
