Justin Smoak (1B, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Leave on Waiver Wire

OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker leagues

ANALYSIS: With Josh Donaldson occupying the DH spot for the time being, Justin Smoak is the odd man out. Even before Donaldson tweaked his calf, Smoak had been limited to a pinch-hitter role and has started only once this season. When Donaldson returns to third base, Edwin Encarnacion will likely slide back into the DH position, while Chris Colabello will likely resume duties at first base despite his .083 batting average. It's safe to say that the bat of both Donaldson and Encarnacion will be plugged in before either of the platooning first basemen. Even if the Blue Jays begin to use Smoak more against righties, the inconsistency of his time on the field will serve no fantasy lineup well. Smoak should remain on the wire until he can prove that he will receive the bulk of the playing time at first base.
