Description: Blue Jays DH Adam Lind has taken just five at-bats this season against left-handers, but he might be in the lineup Sunday given his strong history against Yankees starter CC Sabathia. | Insight: Lind has gone 7-for-15 with four RBI against Sabathia. Lind only has started against righties this season and it has helped him to hit .286 with an .878 OPS and a 14/17 K/BB. | | |

Description: Blue Jays DH Adam Lind went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer Wednesday against the Giants and is now hitting .286. He has three homers over his last six games. | Insight: Lind has played exclusively against right-handers this year, which has helped protect his numbers. The DH has an impressive 12/17 K/BB and an OBP over .400 in 29 games, but he hasn't accumulated the counting stats that would make him fantasy-worthy until recently. | | |

Description: Blue Jays DH Adam Lind is just a .111 hitter with 10 strikeouts in 27 career at-bats versus Boston left-hander Jon Lester. | Insight: The Blue Jays aren't playing Lind against any left-handers, so it's likely he won't be in the starting lineup. Even if he was, he shouldn't be in any fantasy lineups. | | |

Description: Blue Jays DH Adam Lind hit his first homer of the season Tuesday against Tampa Bay. | Insight: Lind (.246, four RBI) didn't have a single at-bat against a left-hander prior to Tuesday, but he doubled off reliever Jake McGee in the seventh inning before grounding into a double play in the eighth off Cesar Ramos. Facing only righties has allowed Lind to improve his plate discipline -- he has a 9/16 K/BB -- but it hasn't resulted in anything tangible for fantasy owners. | | |
| Cold | 4/30/2013 10:43:00 AM |
Description: Blue Jays DH Adam Lind is a career .111 hitter (3-for-27) against Boston left-hander Jon Lester with 10 strikeouts. | Insight: Lind is only batting .250 on the year and has yet to homer. First basemen with a .722 OPS don't have much fantasy value, particularly when facing a historically bad matchup. | | |
| 4/24/2013 12:02:00 PM |
Description: Blue Jays DH Adam Lind isn't in Wednesday's starting lineup because he's away from the club for the birth of his child and will be placed on paternity leave. | Insight: Lind is only batting .244 on the year and has yet to homer. First basemen with a .713 OPS don't have much fantasy value. | | |
| 4/21/2013 4:35:00 PM |
Description: Blue Jays DH Adam Lind didn't record an official at-bat Sunday against the Yankees, as he walked four times. | Insight: Lind is only batting .222 on the year but he has walked nine times with just three strikeouts. His career K/BB is 2.76, so this is a surprising change in approach for the 29-year-old. We'll see if it leads to improved numbers at the plate. | | |
| Cold | 4/19/2013 9:50:00 AM |
Description: Toronto first baseman Adam Lind is just 3-for-21 with eight strikeouts against Yankees hurler Andy Pettitte. | Insight: Lind hasn't done much this season to warrant attention from fantasy owners, but he has shown the ability to hit 25-35 homers in the past. | | |
| Cold | 4/11/2013 11:30:00 AM |
Description: Toronto first baseman Adam Lind shouldn't be in your fantasy plans Thursday against Detroit. He's hitting just .100 for his career against Tigers starter Doug Fister. | Insight: Truthfully, Lind shouldn't be in your fantasy plans on any day. He's 2-for-19 this season and has yet to drive in a run in seven games. Formerly a threat to hit 25-to-30 homers on an annual basis, Lind's best seasons are well in the past. | | |
| 4/6/2013 10:02:00 AM |
Description: Blue Jays 1B/DH Adam Lind owns Boston starter John Lackey with 14 hits in 26 career at-bats (.538). | Insight: Lind has gotten out of the box slowly, going hitless in the Blue Jays' first four games, but this matchup could be the one to jump start his season. | | |
| 3/14/2013 2:34:00 PM |
Description: Blue Jays first baseman Adam Lind is 13-for-28 (.464) in spring training. | Insight: Lind has never built on his 2009 season in which he hit .305 with 35 homers, 46 doubles, 114 RBIs and a .932 OPS. He has hit .246 with a .724 OPS over the last three seasons and shouldn't be drafted in most fantasy leagues. | | |
| 9/29/2012 9:25:00 AM |
Description: Blue Jays first baseman Adam Lind homered on Friday, but his Saturday matchup is unfavorable and he should not be started. | Insight: Lind is just 3-for-21 (.143) with eight strikeouts when facing Yankees lefty Andy Pettitte. Lind has had a rough season batting just .247 with 11 HR and 42 RBI and a stint in the minors. | | |
| 9/20/2012 10:25:00 AM |
Description: Blue Jays first baseman Adam Lind is hitting a miserable .185 in 27 at bats against New York starter Phil Hughes. | Insight: Let's be honest: Lind shouldn't be on any fantasy rosters right now anyway. It's 2012 (.238, 10 HR, 37 RBI), not 2009 (.305, 35 HR, 114 RBI). | | |
| 9/19/2012 9:35:00 AM |
Description: Adam Lind should be avoided on Wednesday in the game against Yankees lefty Andy Pettitte. The Blue Jays first baseman is hitting just .158 (3-for-19) in their matchups with eight strikeouts. | Insight: Lind was awful in the first half, but has improved to mediocre after the break, batting .284 with 3 HR, 17 RBI and a .729 OPS in 30 games. | | |
| 9/16/2012 10:24:00 AM |
Description: Adam Lind should be avoided in fantasy Sunday against Boston. The Blue Jays first baseman is hitting just .125 for his career versus Jon Lester. | Insight: Lind (.242, 10 HR, 37 RBI) has struck out 10 times in 25 lifetime at bats against Lester. Some owners might be tempted to start him because of his recent hot streak (five for his last 11) but we'd recommend sitting Lind on Sunday. | | |
| 9/14/2012 9:53:00 AM |
Description: Adam Lind will face a difficult task when he steps into the batter's box against Red Sox right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka. He's just 4-for-29 (.138) with nine strikeouts. | Insight: Lind has put together a respectable second half, batting .286 with three homers and 15 RBI in 27 games after disappointing fantasy owners in the first half. This matchup, however, must be avoided. | | |
| 9/13/2012 2:53:00 PM |
Description: Adam Lind will face a daunting task when he steps into the batter's box against Seattle righthander Felix Hernandez Thursday night at the Rogers Center. The Blue Jays first baseman is hitting .077 for his career versus the Mariners ace. | Insight: Lind has struggled to a .222 mark in the month of September after posting a solid .300 average in August. | | |
| 9/12/2012 9:33:00 AM |
Description: Toronto first baseman Adam Lind has rarely been able to figure out Seattle right-hander Kevin Millwood with just two hits in 19 official at-bats. | Insight: After a horrible first half and a trip to the minors, Lind has posted respectable second-half numbers, batting .270 with a pair of homers and 13 RBI in 24 games. However, this is a matchup to avoid. | | |
| 9/1/2012 12:10:00 PM |
Description: Toronto has placed first baseman Adam Lind "owns" Tampa Bay starter Jeff Niemann, batting .448 (13-for-29) with three homers, nine RBI and a 1.412 OPS. | Insight: Lind is 6-for-20 (.300) with ahomer since returning from the disabled list. He's had a disappointing season for fantasy owners, but he's a must start on Saturday. | | |
| 7/30/2012 7:38:00 PM |
Description: Toronto has placed first baseman Adam Lind on the disabled list. Lind had missed the Blue Jays' past three games because of back stiffness. | Insight: Expect Edwin Encarnacion (.299, 28 HRs, 72 RBIs) to get most of the reps at first base while Lind (.227, 8 HRs, 27 RBIs) is sidelined. | | |
