Brandon Belt - Away with stomach virus Belt is being kept away from the Blue Jays on Monday because of a stomach virus, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Belt has missed time with a back issue recently, but it would appear the stomach virus is the main reason for his absence from the lineup for a second straight day. Consider him day-to-day. Vladimir Guerrero is at designated hitter and Spencer Horwitz is playing first base Monday.

Brandon Belt - Out with back injury Belt (back) is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Oakland.
Impact Belt has now missed three straight starts and five of the last six games with a nagging back issue. The Blue Jays haven't seemed concerned that it could lead to a stint on the injured list, but the odds that it will increase as his absence lingers. Vladimir Guerrero is at designated hitter and Spencer Horwitz is playing first base Monday.

The Oakland Athletics start a three-game series at home against the Toronto Blue Jays on MondaySEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Spencer Horwitz - Blasts first career homer Horwitz went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over Colorado.
Impact Horwitz was a last-minute lineup replacement for Brandon Belt, who was a late scratch due to back tightness. The rookie made an immediate impact in his first start since being recalled from Triple-A on Friday. His first career home run was a solo shot in the fourth. He followed that up with an RBI single in the fifth, then added another single in the seventh. Horwitz's playing time moving forward will likely hinge on how much time, if any, Belt is forced to miss.
