  • Swats third homer
    Clement went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Guardians.

    Advice: The utility player got the start at third base and hit ninth, and Clement opened the scoring for the Jays in the second inning by taking Ben Lively deep. Clement has multiple hits in three straight starts with three doubles and Sunday's long ball, and he could be slugging his way into more playing time. On the season, the 28-year-old is slashing .264/.286/.421 with three homers, three steals, 11 RBI and 17 runs in 128 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago

  • Timely knock in rare start
    McCann went 1-for-4 with an RBI single during a loss to the Twins in the first game of a doubleheader Sunday.

    Advice: The rookie backstop drew a rare start and was able to tack on the final run of the matinee game for the Athletics with his ninth-inning single. McCann boasts an impressive .278/.358/.444 slash line across his first 81 career plate appearances, but Shea Langeliers has been an iron man behind the dish and is garnering the bulk of playing time at McCann's expense.

  • Swipes first big-league bag
    Barger went 2-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Guardians.

    Advice: Getting the start in right field and batting seventh, Barger stole the first bag of his MLB career after he led off the second inning with a single. The 24-year-old has started two straight games since his latest promotion, one in right and one at third base, and he's gone 3-for-7 with two RBI and a 1:2 BB:K. Barger could be in line for consistent playing time against right-handed pitching as the Jays look for an offensive spark. Rotowire.com 49 minutes ago

  • On base three times in loss
    Davis went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run during a loss to the Twins in the first game of a doubleheader Sunday.

    Advice: Davis drew an increasingly rare start at third base and delivered his first multi-hit effort since May 24. The veteran has been displaced from the starting nine more often than not since late May, logging a total of just 17 plate appearances across six games since the calendar flipped to June. Davis is capable of playing both corner infield spots in addition to serving as the designated hitter, but younger options Tyler Soderstrom, Abraham Toro and Brent Rooker are currently the preferred options at those respective positions.

  • Logs steal as pinch runner
    Bliss entered Sunday's win over the Rangers as a pinch runner in the eighth inning, recording a stolen base and scoring a run without logging an official plate appearance.

    Advice: The rookie worked himself into scoring position with his steal of second base and then was driven home with the Mariners' fourth run by Dominic Canzone's single. The cameo marked Bliss' first appearance on the basepaths since last Monday, as he'd failed to reach in any of the nine plate appearances he'd logged over the previous four games.

  • Productive in Sunday's win
    Raley went 1-for-3 with an RBI double, a walk and a run in a win over the Rangers on Sunday.

    Advice: Raley's fourth-inning two-bagger plated Mitch Haniger with the first run of the afternoon and snapped a brief 0-for-7 skid that had encompassed Raley's three previous games. Despite Sunday's production, the offseason addition has tailed off at the plate after a hot start to June, posting a .182 average and .562 OPS with a massive 42.9 percent strikeout rate in his last 12 games.

  • Gets surgery on left thumb
    Lukes underwent surgery Wednesday to repair a torn UCL in his left thumb, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: The Blue Jays haven't yet established a return timeline for Lukes, who is a member of the 40-man roster. He was up with the big club for one day in early May but has otherwise spent the entire season at Triple-A Buffalo. Lukes had slashed .333/.406/.480 with six home runs and four stolen bases in 192 plate appearances for Buffalo prior to being placed on the 7-day injured list. Rotowire.com Today, 8:59 am
  • First three-hit game of season
    Jones went 3-for-4 with an RBI on Sunday against the Pirates.

    Advice: Jones started in his second straight game since returning from the injured list and has hit fifth and sixth in the order. He delivered his first three-hit effort and only sixth multi-knock performance of the campaign in 29 starts. That provides some hope that he's now fully healthy and prepared to improve upon his .196 average and .587 OPS. Rotowire.com Today, 8:56 am
  • Cleared to play in games
    Votto (ankle) was transferred to the Blue Jays' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate Monday to begin a rehab assignment, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Votto is finally ready to play in games following a long recovery from a severe right ankle sprain which he suffered back in mid-March. He remains on Triple-A Buffalo's 7-day injured list and will rejoin the Blue Jays' top affiliate once Toronto determines he's ready to do so. The 40-year-old could eventually become an option for the big club at first base and/or designated hitter, but he's on a minor-league contract and isn't guaranteed anything.
