Lance Zawadzki followed up Saturday's grand slam with two more hits Sunday as a Blue Jays split-squad beat the Yankees 2-0.

It took a great defensive play to keep the 27-year-old Zawadzki from going 3-for-3. As is, he was 2-for-3 with a double, giving him an early .600 average. Last year, he hit just .227/.262/.323 for three Triple-A teams, so let's not read too much into the fast start. He was signed in December to provide minor league infield depth. Feb 24 - 4:03 PM

Lance Zawadzki - 2B - Blue Jays

Blue Jays signed INF Lance Zawadzki to a minor league contract.

He also gets an invitation to spring training. Zawadzki, 27, batted .227/.262/.323 in 61 games at the Triple-A level this past season and hasn't played in the big leagues since 2010 as a member of the Padres. He's nothing more than minor league depth.

Lance Zawadzki - 2B - Blue Jays

Cardinals signed INF Lance Zawadzki to a minor league contract.

It's the third organization he's been in this season, as Zawadski has batted .213/.254/.313 with three homers over 53 games at the Triple-A level for the Dodgers and Braves. He'll provide middle infield depth at Triple-A Memphis following Ryan Jackson's promotion.

Fri, Aug 10, 2012 01:15:00 PM

Lance Zawadzki - 2B - Blue Jays

Braves signed INF Lance Zawadzki to a minor league contract.

Zawadski was cut loose by the Dodgers after going hitless in 15 plate appearances at Triple-A Albuquerque. He'll give the Braves some minor league depth.

Mon, May 21, 2012 08:51:00 PM

Lance Zawadzki - 2B - Blue Jays

Dodgers signed INF Lance Zawadzki to a minor league contract.

He also gets a spring training invite. Zawadzki, 26, batted .233/.288/.383 with eight home runs, 40 RBI and a .671 OPS over 352 plate appearances with Triple-A Omaha in the Royals' organization this past season. The 2007 fourth-round pick hit .200 (7-for-35) in 20 games with the Padres in 2010.

Tue, Dec 13, 2011 08:30:00 PM

Lance Zawadzki - 2B - Blue Jays

Royals reassigned INFs Lance Zawadzki and Irving Fatu, RHPs Zach Miner, Louis Coleman and Luis Mendoza to minor league camp.

Zawadzki, who was claimed off waivers from the Padres in November, made a pretty good case for the Opening Day roster by batting .359 with three homers and nine RBI over 39 at-bats this spring, but he'll head to Triple-A Omaha for now. Miner is still working his way back from Tommy John surgery that cost him the entire 2010 season.

Wed, Mar 30, 2011 10:44:00 AM

Lance Zawadzki - 2B - Blue Jays

Royals sent INF Lance Zawadzki outright to Triple-A Omaha.

Zawadzki cleared waivers after being designated for assignment by the club last week. The 25-year-old infielder was claimed off waivers from the Padres last month.

Wed, Dec 22, 2010 03:52:00 PM

Lance Zawadzki - 2B - Blue Jays

Royals designated INF Lance Zawadzki for assignment.

The Royals claimed Zawadzki off waivers from the Padres earlier this month but had to cut ties with him in order to clear a 40-man roster spot for new outfielder Melky Cabrera. Zawadzki, 25, went 7-for-35 (.200) in San Diego this past year and posted an ugly 596 OPS at the Triple-A level.

Lance Zawadzki - 2B - Blue Jays

Royals claimed INF Lance Zawadzki off waivers from the Padres.

Zawadzki went 7-for-35 (.200) in a few different stays with the Padres in 2010. The 25-year-old switch-hitter can play a variety of positions on the infield and could act as a utilityman for Kansas City sometime next year.

Lance Zawadzki - 2B - Blue Jays

Padres optioned INF Lance Zawadzki to Triple-A Portland.

Zawadzki has gone 7-for-35 (.200) in a couple of different stints with the Padres this season. He will return to a .229/.302/.295 Triple-A slash line.

Tue, Jun 22, 2010 03:42:00 PM

Lance Zawadzki - 2B - Blue Jays

Padres recalled INF Lance Zawadzki from Triple-A Portland.

He'll replace the injured Everth Cabrera is on the 25-man roster. Zawadzki is 2-for-11 (.182) with the Padres this season. He shouldn't merit much fantasy attention.

Fri, May 28, 2010 07:28:00 PM

Lance Zawadzki - 2B - Blue Jays

Padres optioned INF Lance Zawadzki to Triple-A Portland.

Zawadzki was 2-for-11 (.182) during his brief stay with the club. He'll hope to improve upon his meager .162/.240/.176 batting lineup at Triple-A.

Fri, May 14, 2010 07:16:00 PM

Lance Zawadzki - 2B - Blue Jays

Padres recalled INF Lance Zawadzki from Triple-A Portland.

Zawadzki, 25 in May, was batting just .162/.240/.176 in 75 plate appearances at Triple-A, but the Padres were desperate for infield depth after the loss of Everth Cabrera. Zawadzki is unlikely to carry fantasy value.

Depth Charts

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	J.P. Arencibia
	2	Henry Blanco
1B	1	Adam Lind
2B	1	Maicer Izturis
	2	Emilio Bonifacio
SS	1	Jose Reyes D.L. Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos said it "would not surprise me" if Jose Reyes returned in late June. Reyes had the walking boot on his left foot removed Tuesday and is evidently recovering a bit ahead of schedule, as he had been expected to sit out until around the All-Star break. The shortstop is still in the early stages of his recovery, though. A lot can happen over the next six weeks. May 14
	2	Munenori Kawasaki
3B	1	Brett Lawrie
	2	Mark DeRosa
LF	1	Melky Cabrera
	2	Rajai Davis D.L. Rajai Davis (oblique) has been sent to Florida to start his rehab. Davis hasn't played since May 10 due to a strained oblique. Blue Jays manager John Gibbons doesn't expect it to be a long-term injury, so it's possible he could return later this month. May 17
CF	1	Colby Rasmus
RF	1	Jose Bautista
DH	1	Edwin Encarnacion
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	R.A. Dickey
	2	Josh Johnson D.L. Josh Johnson (triceps) will begin a rehab assignment Monday with High-A Dunedin. Johnson has been on the DL since April 29, but he hasn't had any issues during his throwing program. He'll likely need 2-3 games before he's cleared to rejoin the Blue Jays' rotation. Johnson is on track for a return in the early part of June. May 18
	3	Brandon Morrow
	4	Mark Buehrle
	5	J.A. Happ D.L. J.A. Happ (head, knee) is expected to be sidelined 4-6 weeks. Happ will avoid throwing for a week before beginning to toss on flat ground. The Blue Jays are optimistic that the left-hander will be sidelined closer to four weeks. All things considered, that's about as good as Happ and the club could have hoped for. May 9
	6	Dustin McGowan D.L. Dustin McGowan (shoulder) will continue his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo. McGowan allowed one hit and one walk over two scoreless innings with High-A Dunedin and notched four strikeouts. The Blue Jays can't count on him given his lengthy injury history, but he could be an option to join the bullpen later this month if all goes well. May 17
	7	Drew Hutchison D.L. Drew Hutchison (elbow) is on track to face live hitters in about three weeks. Hutchison is currently making his way back from Tommy John surgery last August. While the 22-year-old right-hander is unlikely to see any game action until late in the season, he feels good about his progress. "You always want to do more but you know you have to follow the process and do what they tell you to do because that’s what’s in your best interest," said Hutchison. "I feel good, which is good, but you also realize that it’s the process and you need to follow the process." May 8
	8	Kyle Drabek D.L. Kyle Drabek (elbow) expects to throw live batting practice in the next week or two. Drabek threw a bullpen session Monday in extended spring training. He's coming back from the second Tommy John surgery of his career, so the Blue Jays figure to take things slow, but he could be looking at a return around midseason if all goes well. May 8
	9	Chad Jenkins
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Casey Janssen
	2	Sergio Santos D.L. Sergio Santos will have surgery to remove bone chips and spurs from his right elbow. Santos had been nearing a minor league rehab assignment, but the discomfort in his elbow has suddenly returned. The surgery isn't expected to end his season, but it's unlikely he'll make it back until the second half. May 14
	3	Darren Oliver
	4	Steve Delabar
	5	Esmil Rogers
	6	Aaron Loup
	7	Brett Cecil
	8	Brad Lincoln
	9	Ramon Ortiz
	10	Mickey Storey
	11	Luis Perez D.L. Luis Perez (elbow) is expected to appear in an extended spring training game later this week. Perez has been throwing bullpen sessions, but this will be his first appearance in a game. He's expected to return from Tommy John surgery around midseason. May 6
