Spencer Horwitz's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Spencer Horwitz and outfielder Joey Loperfido will take a seat on Saturday as the Blue Jays will face left-handed pitcher Justin Steele. Horwitz has started every game this month, so he will be getting a deserved day off, while Loperfido will once again take a seat against a left-handed pitcher, as he has made only four starts against them this season. As a result, George Springer will shift to DH to cover for Horwitz, while Davis Schneider will cover left field for Loperfido. Horwitz has held a modest .229 AVG this month, while Loperfido holds a disappointing .132 AVG. Horwitz could return to the lineup on Sunday, but fantasy managers should expect Loperfido to take a seat again as the Cubs are scheduled to send out lefty Shota Imanaga in the series finale. Both Springer and Schneider are best to leave off your DFS lineup this afternoon as Steele holds a solid 3.16 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP through the summer and allowed just one run in his previous start.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman/second baseman Spencer Horwitz went 1-for-3 with a pair of runs, one walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's victory versus the Los Angeles Angels. Horwitz smacked his sixth home run of the season off Carson Fulmer in the top of the third inning to extend the Blue Jays lead to 5-0 at the time. Horwitz suited up as the designated hitter in this contest, but has played most of his games at first or second base. Horwitz has been in a bit of a slump this past month with a .213 batting average and two homers to go along with 11 RBI, but hopefully Tuesday's performance could get him going again. For the season he is hitting .272 with six homers and 22 RBI in 191 at-bats and could be considered a versatile bench option in deeper leagues, if he can get his bat going again.

Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter Spencer Horwitz went 3-for-4 with a double and his fifth home run of the season in Friday's 3-1 win over the Athletics. The 26-year-old is having a solid season overall for the Blue Jays, but the home run was his first after going 22 consecutive games without one. Since being called up in early June, the left-handed hitter is slashing .281/.367/.421 with a .343 wOBA and 124 wRC+. After batting out of the first or second spot in the order for the most part, Horwitz has batted fourth or fifth in the order over the last nine games, which should present more RBI opportunities going forward than he was getting earlier in the season.

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Spencer Horwitz continued his strong play against the hosting San Francisco Giants in Thursday's win, belting his fourth home run of the season. The righty-mashing Horwitz hit a solo homer off Giants right-hander Jordan Hicks to right field on Thursday, extending the Blue Jays' lead to 5-2 in the fifth inning. The 26-year-old on-base machine has provided a spark for the disappointing Jays lineup at the top of the order, and he's now batting a hot .333 (12-for-36) with two long balls, two doubles, and four RBI during 10 games in the month of July. Although Horwitz loses some appeal in fantasy leagues that don't count walks, he could get more consistent playing time if Toronto decides to be sellers ahead of the late-July trade deadline.

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Spencer Horwitz went 2-for-3 with a pair of homers in a 6-5 loss to the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday. Horwitz did his part to give his team a chance to win this one, getting on base four times, scoring three runs, and driving in two. The 26-year-old has been dynamite since his call-up on June 8, batting .366 with a 1.041 OPS in 41 at-bats. He has consistently been hitting at the top of the Jays order, and that should continue given the struggles of the rest of their lineup. He is a solid waiver wire option in deeper leagues, especially points leagues given his ability to get on base at a high rate.
