Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado went 1-for-4 with a two-run double and a run scored in Friday’s loss to the Phillies.

Prado’s RBI double off Cole Hamels gave the D’Backs the lead in the fourth inning, but they were unable to hold on. He’s been on an absolute tear at the plate in recent weeks, hitting .351 (46-for-131) with four homers and 27 RBI in 32 games since the All-Star break.

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado went 2-for-4 with a home run against the Reds on Tuesday.

Prado started slowly in his new surroundings but he's made up for it recently. He's destroying the month of August, as he's now 29-for-75 (.387) with three home runs and 18 RBI. He also ran his hitting streak to eight games with the home run in the fourth inning. The hot streak has raised his average to a more-representative .282 for the season.

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a loss to the Pirates on Friday.

Prado is now batting .339 with five homers and 30 RBI over his last 43 games. He has bounced back quite nicely since a slow start to the season.

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado went 4-for-4 with a walk, double, home run, four RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Rays.

Prado has collected multi-hit games in five of his last seven contests. The 29-year-old's batting average is up to .274, the highest it's been since April 16. Prado sits on 10 homers and 48 RBI through 109 games.

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado went 2-for-4 with a go-ahead two-run single and a run scored in a 5-3 win over the Brewers on Thursday.

Prado doubled and scored in the bottom of fifth inning and pushed the Diamondbacks ahead with a single against Jim Henderson in the eighth. The 29-year-old is now hitting .350 (21-for-60) with 11 RBI over his last 15 games. While he has been a disappointment so far this season, a big second half wouldn't be surprising.

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado went 3-for-4 with a home run Tuesday in the Diamondbacks' loss to the Mets.

The home run -- a solo shot -- was his seventh of the season. Prado has begun to show signs of life lately but still owns a hideous .252/.301/.365 batting line.
Jul 2 - 11:25 PM
Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado singled and ripped a solo homer in Tuesday's loss to the Nationals.

The D'Backs pounded out 14 hits against the Nats but only managed to scrape out four runs. Prado has homered in two of his last five games but has been a big disappointment for fantasy owners this season, sporting just a .241/.292/.348 batting line.

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado went 1-for-4 Monday against the Marlins.

Owners hoping for Prado to shake his season-long slump as the weather began heating up have been disappointed, as June has been the veteran's worst at the plate thus far. Prado hasn't hit a homer since late-April and has logged an RBI in just two games this month. He's batting an anemic .244/.296/.335 in his first season in Arizona.
Jun 18 - 4:40 AM
Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado went 4-for-4 with two doubles Sunday in a win against the Padres.

Prado has put together two straight multi-hit games after going 3-for-4 on Saturday and looks to be moving in the right direction. He's batting .277/.304/.361 with four doubles and three RBI in May after a sluggish start to the season.
May 26 - 7:42 PM
Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado went 0-for-4 on Wednesday and has fallen into a 2-for-19 slump.

Prado is still hitting for a better average this month and he did in April, but that's not saying much. He's gone 12 straight games without scoring a run. He has two runs scored and four RBI in 20 games overall for the month. And not only is his season OBP a lousy .283, but he's been caught on three of his four steal attempts. Good thing the Diamondbacks gave him that four-year, $40 million deal before some team could blow them out of the water this winter.

Martin Prado - 3B - Diamondbacks

Martin Prado is batting .275 in May.

Slowly but surely, Prado is digging himself out of an awful early-season slump. In his first month with the Snakes, Prado slashed an anemic .217/.266/.348. Over 15 games this month, he's batting a reasonable .275/.339/.333. It's certainly not the start Arizona expected after acquiring Prado in the Justin Upton trade and subsequently signed him to a four-year, $40 million contract extension. Sporting his trademark multi-position eligibility and playing in cozy Chase Field, now might be the time to buy low. Prado entered the year a .319/.370/.447 career hitter in Arizona.
