Brett Bateman - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Not in lineup Thursday Bateman (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Rays.

Impact Bateman had to be removed from Wednesday's game because of right hamstring tightness, so it's not a surprise he's not ready to play in Thursday's afternoon contest. Per Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca, Bateman was set to undergo an MRI Thursday morning. The results of that exam haven't been revealed, but the expectation is that the injury isn't serious. Myles Straw will handle center field for Toronto.

Impact Bateman got the Blue Jays on the board with an RBI double in the third inning before tying things up at 3-3 in the fifth with a single to center field that brought Myles Straw home. Bateman was the Blue Jays' return for sending Kevin Gausman to the Cubs on Aug. 2, and the former has wasted no time in getting acclimated to his new team north of the border. Bateman has gone 6-for-22 with three RBI through the first five games of his major-league career, and he figures to see regular playing time in center field over the final weeks of the season.

The Scoreboard Lied? Here's What Happened In Red Sox-Blue Jays Run Controversy

Getting look as starting CF Bateman went 2-for-6 with an RBI in Sunday's extra-innings loss to the Phillies.

Impact The Blue Jays deployed right-handed hitters Myles Straw and Davis Schneider in the outfield corners, but the lefty-swinging Bateman stayed in center field and manned the leadoff spot against southpaw Jesus Luzardo. Bateman even got a hit off Luzardo, a single in the fifth inning that produced his first RBI in the majors. The 24-year-old has started three straight games in center field since his promotion, going 3-for-14 with a double, two walks and two runs scored, and Bateman's combination of defense, speed, plate discipline and solid contact skills have quickly moved him to the top of the depth chart with Daulton Varsho now in Houston.

Makes impact in MLB debut Bateman went 1-for-2 with two walks, a double and a run scored in Friday's 5-4 win over the Phillies.

Impact Making his MLB debut, Bateman got the start in center field and hit ninth and didn't appear overmatched -- the 24-year-old lashed the very first pitch he saw from Zack Wheeler off the wall in left-center field, missing a homer by a foot or two. The Blue Jays have a vacancy in center after trading Daulton Varsho at the deadline, and Bateman could claim the strong side of a platoon with Myles Straw if he keeps producing. Over 84 Triple-A games this season between Buffalo and Iowa, Bateman compiled a .311/.429/.416 slash line with three homers and 20 steals.
