7 years agoThe Toronto Blue Jays have placed first baseman Justin Smoak on the paternity list on Thursday. There is no set date for his return, but in all likelihood it will be over the weekend. After a massive age-30 breakout in 2017, Smoak has largely struggled to find the same level of success again. His on-base percentage may be slightly higher and he may be walking more, but with only four home runs thus far, the power simply isn’t there as it was last season. His ground-ball levels are elevated to the levels they were at prior to the breakout, though, so perhaps soon enough he’ll get his swing in order to start putting more balls in the air again.--John Smith
