Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: On bench Friday
Loperfido is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins.
Loperfido is idle for the third time in seven games, giving way to Jonatan Clase in center field Friday. While Loperfido's playing time in center has been slipping, he's gotten a couple of looks in left field over the last four games.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: Heads to bench vs. righty
Loperfido is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.
Loperfido had picked up starts in each of the Blue Jays' previous three matchups with right-handed pitchers, but he'll hit the bench Monday while the Red Sox send righty Tanner Houck to the mound. The newly recalled Jonatan Clase will pick up a start in center field at the expense of Loperfido, who could fade into more of a part-time role in the final week of the regular season while he's in the midst of an extended dry spell at the dish. Since stringing together four consecutive two-hit games from Aug. 20 through 24, Loperfido has slashed .164/.203/.246 with a 34.4 percent strikeout rate.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: Back in action Wednesday
Loperfido (hip) is starting in center field and batting eighth Wednesday against the Rangers.
The 25-year-old suffered an adductor injury during Saturday's matchup with the Cardinals and is rejoining the lineup Wednesday after a couple days off. Loperfido should continue seeing regular action in Toronto's outfield down the stretch, and he'll likely see more starts in center field since Daulton Varsho (shoulder) will miss the rest of the season.

Loperfido (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: Departs with injury
Loperfido was removed from Saturday's game against St. Louis with left adductor discomfort, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.
Loperfido appeared to be grabbing at his hip after hitting a double in the third inning of Saturday's contest, though he managed to stay in the game until the fifth frame. If his injury proves to be severe enough to prevent him from playing Sunday, Nathan Lukes would likely be the next man in line to start in left field.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: Dropped from lineup Monday
Loperfido is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.
Loperfido will hit the bench after he started the final two games of the Blue Jays' weekend series with Atlanta, going 3-for-7 with a double and a walk between those contests. Since joining the Blue Jays at the trade deadline, Loperfido has put together a .222/.260/.394 slash line with a 32.7 percent strikeout rate over 29 games. Loperfido's lack of productivity has prevented him from fully taking control of an everyday spot in the Toronto outfield.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: Exiting lineup Wednesday
Loperfido is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
Loperfido was on the bench for consecutive games over the weekend against the Twins, but he had started in both of the previous two contests while going 1-for-8 with four strikeouts. Since being acquired from the Astros in late July, Loperfido is slashing just .198/.232/.363 with a 34.7 percent strikeout rate, and his ongoing struggles appear to have started to cost him playing time. Davis Schneider will replace Loperfido in left field Wednesday.

In his place, Nathan Lukes will make his first start of the year in left field and bat eighth.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: Goes deep in win
Loperfido went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-4 win over the Angels.
Loperfido led off the ninth inning with a game-tying blast of Roansy Contreras that was followed by a walk-off homer from fellow rookie Addison Barger. Loperfido may be heating up at the dish with multiple hits in four of his last five games, including two home runs over that span. The 25-year-old has a .732 OPS in 17 games with the Blue Jays and should continue to see regular at-bats down the stretch.

Loperfido went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Cubs.

The outfielder has gone just 7-for-42 (.167) with 17 strikeouts over 12 contests in August. Loperfido is slashing a meager .216/.271/.333 with 18 RBI, 16 runs scored and three stolen bases across 167 plate appearances this year.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: Records third steal
Loperfido went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI and one stolen base in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Angels.
Loperfido entered Tuesday 0-for-22 with 10 strikeouts over his last six games. He was able to break the slump and pick up his first steal since June 23 when he was a member of the Astros. The outfielder is slashing .207/.266/.310 with two home runs, three steals, 17 RBI, 14 runs scored, five doubles and two triples over 159 plate appearances this season. He's maintained a strong-side platoon role in left field despite his recent poor hitting, though he could lose some work if Davis Schneider is able to break out of his own slump any time soon.
