Spencer Horwitz Set To Join Blue Jays
6 months agoToronto Blue Jays first base prospect Spencer Horwitz is expected to be called up from Triple-A Buffalo to join the team in Oakland on Friday for the start of their three-game series against the Athletics. Horwitz, the team's No. 16 prospect per MLB Pipeline, has hit a cool .335 (71-for-212) with four home runs, 38 RBI, three stolen bases and 41 runs scored in 57 games with Buffalo this year and had gone 16-for-36 with two home runs recently in order to earn the call-up back to the big leagues. The 26-year-old left-handed hitter made his big-league debut with Toronto last year, going 10-for-39 (.256) with a homer and seven RBI in 15 games. Horwitz's best path to playing time in Toronto could be at second base, where he had been playing at Buffalo before the call-up. He's worth a look in AL-only and deep mixed formats if he sees enough at-bats.
