I would drop him in the lineup and give him more days off and see if his numbers come up before the trade dealine end of July, (if your league uses that). Particularly during home games since for whatever reason his avg is a lot lower at home. Slide someone with a better average and .obs from the 6-7-8 slot into the 3 hole if you have anyone.
As for trading him depends on what value you can get, if he is still just 26 like in real life he still has some upside potential and I would lean towards keeping him since you are leading your league, and equal trade value may be hard due to his lower numbers this year.
This kind of player catches my eye in free agency, coming off a down year but just hitting his prime. Kinda guy you can sometimes sign for cheaper than normal because of a down year, then see if next year he overachieves.
