Another start Thursday Horwitz is playing first base and batting sixth Thursday against the Yankees.

Impact It's the second straight start for Horwitz, who filled the DH role Wednesday after Vladimir Guerrero (knee) was scratched and tallied three RBI as part of a 6-1 victory. The 25-year-old has batted .286/.375/.429 across his first 40 major-league plate appearances this season with Toronto and could see more opportunities if Guerrero requires an extended absence.

Blasts first career homer Horwitz went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over Colorado.

Impact Horwitz was a last-minute lineup replacement for Brandon Belt, who was a late scratch due to back tightness. The rookie made an immediate impact in his first start since being recalled from Triple-A on Friday. His first career home run was a solo shot in the fourth. He followed that up with an RBI single in the fifth, then added another single in the seventh. Horwitz's playing time moving forward will likely hinge on how much time, if any, Belt is forced to miss.

Horwitz has reached base four times and driven in one run in his first eight major-league plate appearances.
