Blue Jays: Bonifacio heating up

Toronto Sun — While Jose Bautista stole the show on Sunday with two home runs hit into the seats atop the Green Monster, in a game where the Jays would total five homers, Emilio Bonifacio turned in his best offensive performance as a Blue Jay with three hits, topped by a two-run home run, and two RBIs. Bonifacio came into the game having gone just 3-for-37 over

Victorino being checked out after crashing into wall

Red Sox Blog | Providence Journal — By Tim BrittonBOSTON -- Another day, another injury concern for the Red Sox. Right fielder Shane Victorino was on his way to the hospital after the game to be checked out after a hard collision with the right-field wall in Sunday's fourth inning. Victorino was trying to track down Emilio Bonifacio's two-run homer when he crashed into the wall with his left side. He was down on the warning track for a few minutes, attended to by trainers, before initially staying in the game. With Boston trailing big late, Victorino left for a defensive replacement in the seventh inning. "The way Shane hit t...

Emilio Bonifacio steals first two bases

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Blue Jays outfielder Emilio Bonifacio didn't record a hit on Sunday during a win over the Mariners. He did steal two bases, however.  Bonifacio, who hit two fielder's choice grounders to reach base, stole his first two bases of the season. Otherwise, he was 0 for 4 with a strikeout and is batting just .162.  Bonifacio hasn't recorded a base hit since April 27 and has just two over his last 10 appearances.

Emilio Bonifacio wakes up with two hits

Jean Segura's speed driving up value

CBSSports.com Fantasy — With a steal in each of his last five games, the Brewers' Jean Segura has pretty much established that the stolen base will remain as much a part of his game in the majors as it was in the minors, where he stole 50 bags one year. As last year's Emilio Bonifacio owners can attest, steals alone are enough to make a player indespensible at one of the weakest positions in Fantasy. But part of the allure of Segura is that he may be more than just a pure speedster. In fact, his steals were often overshadowed by his high batting averages in the minors, and it's pretty clear by now strikeouts aren't g...

Emilio Bonifacio missing from Toronto lineup

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Blue Jays infielder/outfielder Emilio Bonifacio has been noticeably absent as of late from the team's starting lineup. After starting 13 of the first 14 games, Bonifacio hasn't started four of the last five, including all three games against the Yankees over the weekend. Bonifacio appeared in two of the games against the Yankees, but remains mired in a 1-for-16 slump. Bonifacio is batting .192 (10 for 52) through 17 games. He also has no stolen bases after totaling at least 30 in each of the previous two seasons.

Emilio Bonifacio's lack of steals a concern

CBSSports.com Fantasy — If you drafted Emilio Bonifacio, you likely did so expecting bunches and bunches of steals. Other than multi-position eligibilty, that's really all he brings to the table. So far, he has zero steals. Worse yet, he's attempted zero steals -- and that's while starting 13 of the Blue Jays' 14 games. Maybe with only four singles and one walk on the season, he just hasn't gotten enough chances, but for him to be the Fantasy option you want him to be, even at a relatively weak position like second base, he needs be running just about every time he reaches first base. It was a problem for him early i...

Jose Bautista remains out for Jays

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista remained out of the lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the White Sox with a back injury. It's the second-straight game Bautista has missed because of the issue as Emilio Bonifacio took his spot in right field. The veteran slugger, who is also dealing with an ear infection, could be available to serve as a pinch hitter Tuesday, with a possible return to the starting lineup Wednesday.

Second base in Martin Prado's future?

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Just when you thought you had hit the jackpot at second base, with Josh Rutledge, Matt Carpenter, Jedd Gyorko and Emilio Bonifacio all earning eligibility there in the last few days, the position widely regarded as the weakest in Fantasy coming into the season could add another relatively high-end bat to its ranks in the coming days. Martin Prado filled in at second base when starter Aaron Hill injured his left hand on a check swing Sunday. Now that Hill is on the DL with a break in that left hand, Prado gets the start there. Of course, the Diamondbacks might choose to give shortstop prospect ...

  • We've been had: a Toronto Blue Jays preview
    Offense: Emilio Bonifacio-2B, Melky Cabrera-LF, Jose Bautista-RF, Edwin Encarnacion-1B, Adam Lind-DH, J.P. Arencibia-C, Colby Rasmus-CF, Mark DeRosa-3B, Maicer Izturis-SS.

This has resulted in some interesting roster moves, as backups have been thrust into starting roles, my favorite of which is Emilio Bonifacio. Mr. Goodface came over in the big t...
