Individual batters are less consequential to poor team performance in my eyes, so if he’s consistent and then suddenly gets the yips, just leave him in. There’s 8 other guys in the lineup that can make up for his slumping.
He is 28, which is his prime years, so it also wouldn’t hurt to look to see what the trade market value could bring you, especially if you have a good replacement. But if you are playing for realism, you ride him out until the end of the year.
