Johnson (foot) cranked a pinch-hit RBI double and scored a run in Friday's loss to the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

He's been held out of the starting lineup for the past five games, but has shown well off the bench in back-to-back efforts. With Dee Gordon back and Derek Dietrich now spending some time at first base, it appears Johnson has been relegated the weak side of a first base platoon. Further complicating the situation is the impending return of Justin Bour (ankle), but Johnson will continue to be the preferred option against left-handed pitching.
