You're half a game off the division lead so I doubt you need him immediately, plus he's getting all the playing time he needs in AAA so I don't see any reason to rush him. If he happens to get a few more SI before he gets called up it just means his transition will be even easier. Good prospect, though some more BC & PD wouldn't hurt.

I would still hold off as there is evidence he is still gaining at AAA and he is still young enough unless you have a real need to move him up to the majors.
