5 years agoToronto Blue Jays second baseman Eric Sogard (thumb) has been removed from the lineup Monday with a left thumb sprain. Sogard was originally slated to hit leadoff in the Blue Jays' Monday matinee against the Red Sox. Since joining the Blue Jays this season, Sogard has been on a tear, hitting .295 with a .904 OPS in 24 games. The normally light-hitting second baseman is playing well above his usual production, as his career OPS is just .638 over his nine-year MLB career. If you've taken advantage of his hot start, it would be wise to try and sell high, as there are no indications of Sogard's early-season production being sustainable.--Walt Clark
