TOR • Infielder • #50

Sosa put the Blue Jays on the board with a solo home run off Connor Prielipp in the second inning, then later drove in a run on a single and scored in the eighth. The 26-year-old infielder is still seeing sporadic playing time, splitting games at second base while getting occasional starts at first and designated hitter. He’s hitting .257/.254/.386 with one homer, eight runs scored, and nine RBI across 72 plate appearances.

Sosa went 1-for-3 on Wednesday in his first start with the Blue Jays and will be right back out there again. Eloy Jimenez will remain on the bench with Kazuma Okamoto at first base and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. at DH. It seems that the Blue Jays are going to give Sosa a chance to start against right-handed pitchers and use the DH spot as a rotational lineup spot while potentially saving Jimenez for left-handed pitchers.

Sosa, 26, was the White Sox’s leader with 22 homers and 75 RBI last season, but that came with a 127/18 K/BB ratio and a .293 OBP. Between the OBP issues and his lack of defensive value, he just hasn’t been a very valuable major leaguer to date (Baseball-Reference has him at -1.2 WAR through 1,155 plate appearances). Maybe the Jays will get more out of him. He can serve as another DH option while George Springer is out and maybe see some time at second base against lefties. The White Sox, who had started Sosa in eight of their 16 games, seemingly just wanted to move on here, as Rich is a 2025 17th-round pick who has yet to play in a professional game. Perhaps Sam Antonacci will fill the open roster spot.
