Kazuma Okamoto went 2-for-4 with a solo homer to power the Blue Jays to a 4-2 win over the Athletics on Tuesday.

Okamoto clubbed a solo homer in the second inning off Jack Perkins, then later knocked a base hit in the sixth. The home run gets the 30-year-old slugger to 30 round-trippers in his first MLB season. He’s slashing .234/.308/.454 with 75 runs scored and 83 RBI across 572 plate appearances.

TOR 3rd Baseman #7

Kazuma Okamoto went 1-for-3 with a homer, a walk, and two runs scored as the Blue Jays defeated the Mariners 7-0 on Sunday.

Okamoto connected for a solo shot in the sixth that put Toronto up 4-0. It was his 28th homer of the year, double the next-highest total on the Blue Jays, George Springer’s 14. It’s also quadruple Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s total. Okamoto also leads the team in runs, RBI, and slugging percentage in his first MLB season.

TOR 3rd Baseman #7

Kazuma Okamoto went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and two other RBI as the Blue Jays beat the Mariners on Friday.

Okamoto hit a warning track sacrifice fly in the first, took Seranthony Domínguez out in the fifth, and added an RBI single in the seventh. The 30-year-old is struggling to hit for average in the states, but he’s got 27 homers and 77 RBIs while slugging .441, so he’s been a reasonable return on investment for fantasy managers.

Kazuma Okamoto went 1-for-5 with a solo home run against the Rays on Tuesday.

Okamoto’s home run was his 25th of the season. He hit a solo shot off Steven Matz in the fifth inning. Okamoto’s home run was his first since July 28 against the Nationals, a span of 16 games. He’s hitting .227 with a .731 OPS and 72 RBI.

TOR 3rd Baseman #7

Kazuma Okamoto is starting at third base and hitting fifth in Thursday’s game against the Red Sox.

He’s been bothered by a knee contusion of late, missing games on Monday and Tuesday and DHing on Wednesday. It’s good news that he’s back at third base. He’ll take on Red Sox LHP Peyton Tolle today.

TOR 3rd Baseman #7

Kazuma Okamoto is back in the Blue Jays lineup Wednesday after missing two games with a knee contusion.

Okamoto is DHing tonight, suggesting the knee is still bothering him some. George Springer is taking a seat with Okamoto in his spot.

TOR 3rd Baseman #7

Kazuma Okamoto was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Red Sox with a left knee contusion.

Okamoto winds up being scratched for the second straight game due to a knee issue. It’s fair to wonder if he’ll require a trip to the injured list or the Blue Jays are merely being cautious. It’ll be rookie Charles McAdoo, who homered in his return to the big leagues on Monday night, taking over at third base once again.

TOR 3rd Baseman #7

Kazuma Okamoto (knee) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Red Sox.

Okamoto is back at third base and hitting seventh after being scratched from Monday’s lineup with a left knee contusion. It doesn’t appear to be a significant concern moving forward.

TOR 3rd Baseman #7

Kazuma Okamoto was scratched from the lineup for Monday’s game against the Red Sox with a left knee contusion.

Okamoto gets an opportunity to rest and recover with rookie Charles McAdoo taking over at the hot corner. The 30-year-old has really struggled at the plate since the All-Star break, which has pulled down his overall numbers, but he still has 24 homers in 116 games during his stateside debut. He’s been one of the few bright spots for the Blue Jays during a bizarre season. He’s day-to-day heading into the final three games of the series.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

TOR 1st Baseman #27

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is not in the lineup for Toronto on Wednesday against the Astros.

It seems like a routine day off for the struggling first baseman, who is slashing .259/.338/.349 with six home runs and 44 RBI in 456 plate appearances. He has a career-low 6.7 percent barrel rate and 43.6 percent hard-hit rate on the season in what has been an incredibly disappointing year. Kazuma Okamoto will first start at first base and bat second, with Josh Smith starting at third base and batting sixth.

Cooper Hjerpe allowed four runs and got a no-decision against the White Sox on Saturday.

Hjerpe appeared in only two innings and showed little command of the strike zone with four walks. The lack of control was his undoing as the walks led to one run in the fourth inning and three more in the fifth inning. Hjerpe threw 52 pitches and only 25 for strikes. He should continue to follow Kyle Leahy as a bulk pitcher. Hjerpe is lined up to face the Nationals at home next week.
