Brett Lawrie went 3-for-5 with two doubles as the Blue Jays beat the Giants on Tuesday.
Lawrie has struggled out of the gate, but he enjoyed a mini-breakout Tuesday. He actually hit more doubles in the game, two, than he had in his first 25 games this season. It's hard to know whether Tuesday's performance will spur him to bigger and better things, but we still have faith he'll break out of this slump sooner than later. May 14 - 10:24 PM

Brett Lawrie - 3B - Blue Jays

Brett Lawrie is batting just .146 over his last 41 at-bats.

The Blue Jays had been trying Lawrie in the leadoff spot, but, after hitting .135 (5-for-37) when batting first, he was moved down to the No. 6 spot for Thursday's game. Lawrie did have an RBI single in his first at-bat Thursday but was then retired in his next three plate appearances. "We're just trying to simplify things," hitting coach Chad Mottola said. "The way he works, he's fast-twitch and he tends to try to do more when he starts struggling and thinks that's going to help. So we're just trying to calm him down, teach him ways to calm him down."

Brett Lawrie - 3B - Blue Jays

Brett Lawrie is not in the Blue Jays' lineup Sunday.

Lawrie has played every inning of every game since returning from the disabled list on April 16, so the Jays are giving him a day of rest. Manager John Gibbons also noted that the third baseman is "a little banged up," but it doesn't sound like anything to worry about. Mark DeRosa is handling the hot corner Sunday.

Brett Lawrie - 3B - Blue Jays

Brett Lawrie is batting leadoff on Sunday versus the Yankees.

Lawrie has spent most of the season in the seventh or eighth spots, but he has five hits -- including two homers -- over his last three games, so the Blue Jays are moving him up. It gives Lawrie a little bump in fantasy value.

Brett Lawrie - 3B - Blue Jays

Brett Lawrie went 0-for-3 with a walk and a HBP on Wednesday, dropping his average to .125.

Lawrie is 4-for-32 with 11 strikeouts and three errors at third base in nine games since coming off the disabled list. The Blue Jays might want to give him a day off Thursday; he hasn't had one yet since being activated.

Brett Lawrie - 3B - Blue Jays

Brett Lawrie will start at third base in his season debut Tuesday night against the White Sox.

Lawrie played second base during his minor league rehab assignment, but Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos said Monday that the club plans to mostly use him at his standard third base. There's a chance that Lawrie could be mixed in at second base every once in a while as the team attempts to get by without Jose Reyes (ankle) in the lineup.

Brett Lawrie - 3B - Blue Jays

Blue Jays activated 3B Brett Lawrie from the 15-day disabled list.

The 23-year-old missed the first two weeks of the season with a rib cage injury but needed just a couple rehab games to convince the Blue Jays that he was ready. Lawrie is expected to mostly play third base for the Jays, but he could be mixed in at second base, as well.

Brett Lawrie - 3B - Blue Jays

Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos said Monday that Brett Lawrie (rib cage) will play third base upon his return from the disabled list.

While Lawrie will return as the primary third baseman, Anthopoulos said that the club has the option to use him at second base once a week, if need be. He's currently getting work at second base during his minor league rehab assignment and should be return to return within the next couple of days.

Brett Lawrie - 3B - Blue Jays

Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said Monday that Brett Lawrie (rib cage) could be activated from the disabled list in the next couple of days.

Lawrie went 2-for-4 and started at second base Sunday in his first rehab game with High-A Dunedin. He's scheduled to play second base again on Monday, though the Jays haven't decided whether he'll play there when he comes off the disabled list. Either way, the Jays (and fantasy owners) will be happy to have him back.

Brett Lawrie - 3B - Blue Jays

Brett Lawrie (rib cage) started at second base and went 2-for-4 on Sunday in a High-A rehab game.

Lawrie helped turn two double plays. He began his professional career at second base and could draw regular starts there once he's activated with Maicer Izturs sliding to shortstop to cover for the injured Jose Reyes. Lawrie would obviously get a nice boost in fantasy value if he gains second base eligibility.

Brett Lawrie - 3B - Blue Jays

Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos told Jim Bowden of SiriusXM's Inside Pitch that the club will give Brett Lawrie a look at second base but is not committed to using him there.

Lawrie began his pro career at the keystone and is playing the position during his first rehab game with High-A Dunedin on Sunday. With Maicer Izturis moving to shortstop to cover for the injured Jose Reyes, the Jays want to see what options they have at second base. He probably won't play there every day, but it sounds like there's a good chance he could gain second base eligibility for fantasy purposes. Lawrie is expected to return before the end of the week. Jose Bautista played third base on Saturday and could wind up gaining eligibility at the hot corner.

Brett Lawrie (rib cage) is starting at second base during his rehab game with High-A Dunedin on Sunday.

Interesting. Lawrie began his professional career as a second baseman but was moved to the hot corner after he couldn't hack it defensively. With Jose Reyes on the shelf, Maicer Izturis is expected to handle the bulk of the starts at shortstop, and the Jays might feel they're better off with Lawrie at second base than Emilio Bonifacio. Jose Bautista started at third base on Saturday. The club should clarify their infield situation before long.

Brett Lawrie - 3B - Blue Jays

Brett Lawrie (rib cage) will not begin a minor league rehab assignment with High-A Dunedin on Saturday as originally expected.

No word on a setback, so he's probably just not ready yet. Lawrie has been playing in extended spring training games, but is inching closer to his return. The Blue Jays expect Lawrie to be activated from the disabled list at some point over the next two weeks.

Brett Lawrie - 3B - Blue Jays

Brett Lawrie (rib cage) will begin a minor league rehab assignment Saturday with High-A Dunedin.

Lawrie has been relegated to playing in extended spring training games, but is finally ready to take the next step. He'll likely need a few games there to get his timing back, but should be able to rejoin the Blue Jays lineup by the end of next week.

Brett Lawrie - 3B - Blue Jays

Brett Lawrie (rib cage) went 2-for-2 and played four innings Thursday in an extended spring training game.

Another big step in the right direction for the rehabbing third baseman. Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said Wednesday that Lawrie will be activated from the disabled list at some point over the next two weeks.
