At third Mitchell hopes to reinstate DesRoches, veteran baseman who has been out of the game for some time due to a wrenched knee. DesRoches's absence from the infield has been keenly noticeable in recent games, as he is a fast, accurate fielder, and a dependable person with the willow, and if Mitchell is able to play...
