Honestly, Inge is the only right-handed hitter that they have available to play right-field with Tabata on the DL.
It was either that, or a 3-Catcher line-up...using Russell Martin in right-field, and have one Catcher DH and another one Catch.
But, you can't put Russell Martin in right-field with Locke on the mound. The two of them have a great chemistry. The announcers claim that Locke has not shaken off Martin a single time this year, which is unbelievable. He's literally thrown every pitch that Martin has called for.
