When he was brought back to Boston on May 24, he had a.202 batting average in 33 games with Pawtucket.
He was able to establish a regular role in the lineup, filling in for Drew occasionally at shortstop and starting at third base for the injured Will Middlebrooks.
Despite his struggles at the plate in AAA, he was able to maintain a batting average above .400 until early July despite finding AL pitchers to his liking.
During the month of June, he racked up a .395 average with four doubles, two triples, and one home run, while driving in 17 runs.
From May 27 to June 18, he had an 18-game hitting streak. As of July 30th, he was still batting .330, and his value was likely at an all-time high when the Red Sox chose to trade him.
Consequently, the Red Sox were able to acquire Jake Peavy from the Chicago White Sox in a three-team deal with Detroit Tigers.
A ban for starting shortstop Jhonny Peralta, whose name had been linked to the Biogenesis affair, was confirmed just a few days later, showing that Detroit was extremely concerned.
For the remainder of the season, Iglesias played shortstop for the Tigers, starting 46 games and averaging a .259 batting average while displaying excellent defensive skills.
Peralta was eligible to return for the postseason, so José took his place in left field until then.
