RAIMEL TAPIA NEWS

Three RBI in Tuesday's win Tapia went 2-for-6 with a triple, double, three RBI and a run in Tuesday's 18-11 win over the Phillies.

Impact Tapia made his sixth start Wednesday and the Blue Jays' last seven games and came through with his second three-RBI performance in the past four days. He should continue to handle a near-everyday role in the outfield while Lourdes Gurriel (hamstring) remains on the injured list.

Steals eighth base Tapia went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in a 5-4 loss Sunday against Baltimore.

Impact Tapia reached on an infield hit and stole second base in the second inning. It was his eighth stolen base in nine attempts this season and third this month. He started in center and could see more time there if George Springer (elbow) has limited availability.

Sits for third time in four games Tapia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Tapia will sit for the third time in four games and may not have a clear path to an everyday role even with George Springer (knee) having now missed three straight contests. Jackie Bradley will draw the start in center field Sunday, and he and Whit Merrifield will represent potential threats to Tapia's opportunities in the outfield even if Springer is limited to the designated-hitter role whenever he returns to the lineup.

Gives way to Merrifield in CF Tapia is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.

Impact With George Springer still relegated to the designated-hitter role since returning from the injured list Monday, Tapia and Whit Merrifield should continue to see most of the opportunities in center field. Tapia started and went 0-for-2 in Wednesday's 6-1 win over Baltimore, but it'll be Merrifield who draws the nod in center for the series opener at Yankee Stadium.

Sits after three straight starts Tapia is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Tapia started in center field each of the last three games and went 2-for-9 with a double and a walk, but he'll take a seat Tuesday and give way to Jackie Bradley. Though George Springer returned from the injured list Monday, he's been deployed at designated hitter in both of his first two games back, so Tapia and Bradley could continue to see work in center field until the Blue Jays are comfortable deploying Springer on defense.

Out of Friday's lineup Tapia is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Tapia started the past three games but will head to the bench for Friday's contest. Jackie Bradley was signed by Toronto earlier this week since George Springer (elbow) is on the injured list and will make his first start with the Blue Jays in center field.

Making third straight start Tapia will start in right field and bat sixth in Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Impact The Toronto outfield became more crowded Monday with the signing of Jackie Bradley, but Tapia should have a chance at playing semi-regularly so long as George Springer (elbow) is on the injured list. Tapia will pick up his third start in a row after going 3-for-7 with an RBI in the Blue Jays' previous two contests.

Five-game starting streak ends Tapia is out of the lineup for Thursday's game in Minnesota.

Impact Tapia had started the past five games in center field, going 2-for-15 with a run and an RBI over those contests while George Springer was either out of the lineup or limited to designated-hitter duties due to an elbow issue. Springer is back in the starting nine at DH on Thursday, but Tapia is on the bench with the newly acquired Whit Merrifield making his team debut as the Jays' center fielder. Merrifield will likely end up seeing most of his playing time at second base moving forward, but with Springer expected back in the outfield sooner rather than later, Tapia could see his opportunities tail off over the final two months of the season.

AUGUST 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Making third straight start Tapia will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Tapia will pick up his third consecutive start in the outfield, with two coming at the expense of George Springer, who is resting for the series finale after sitting out Friday's loss with an elbow injury. Since opening the second half with three extra-base hits and 10 RBI in his first two starts, Tapia has gone 2-for-9 with an RBI over his subsequent three starts.

Three-RBI triple in win Tapia went 3-for-5 with a triple, four RBI and a run scored in Sunday's victory over Boston.

Impact Tapia sent Bo Bichette, Cavan Biggio and Matt Chapman home on a triple in the first inning to put Toronto ahead 5-0. He also singled home Teoscar Hernandez in the fifth, then came around to score later that inning on a Vladimir Guerrero single. This offensive outburst comes two days after Tapia went 3-for-7 with six RBI against Boston. The outfielder is on a six-game hit streak which includes three three-hit performances, 14 RBI, two home runs and six runs scored. Tapia is batting .409 for the month and if he continues to produce, it will be difficult to justify keeping his bat out of the lineup in Toronto.
