Loperfido took the roster spot of Anthony Santander. He was removed with lumbar spine inflammation.

Joey Loperfido went 1-for-2 with a home run, one RBI, and one run scored in the Blue Jays’ 6-5 win over the Rays on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Loperfido has been highly efficient at the plate, now batting .348 with 32 hits, 14 RBI, and four home runs across just 92 at-bats. His ability to make an impact in a smaller sample has been a boost for Toronto.

The Toronto Blue Jays recalled Joey Loperfido from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

After a successful first stint where he slashed .358/.409/.506 across 81 at-bats, Loperfido has been recalled by the Blue Jays. He will get an immediate opportunity to prove himself, as he is starting in left field and batting eighth in Tuesday's game against the Houston Astros. Loperfido's call-up was a corresponding move to Bo Bichette (knee) being placed on the injured list.

The Toronto Blue Jays optioned Joey Loperfido to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

In a corresponding move to George Springer's (concussion) reinstatement from the 7-day injured list, Loperfido was optioned to the minors. Loperfido has been great for the Blue Jays this season, posting a .358/.409/.506 slash line across 81 at-bats, and will likely be the first player recalled when a spot in the outfield becomes available.

Joey Loperfido's X-rays on his right knee returned negative on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Loperfido left Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies after taking a fastball off his right knee and was out of the Toronto Blue Jays' lineup on Wednesday. The Blue Jays have a day off on Thursday, so his next chance to return is Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Davis Schneider drew the start in Loperfido's absence and could see more playing time if he misses additional games.
