Not at moment he isn't.

Short term, long term. He was a few weeks ago, and shortly may be again.

I am not going to quibble about months or weeks. The important thing is someone said Frenchy is useful as a platoon partner for Mallex or Ender. I hope not. I hope they get the opportunity to learn to be better hitters against Lefties. I hope that regardless of whether Mallex has been out for a few weeks or a few months.

Mallex is not due until September. Frenchie is not currently platooning with Inciarte.
