Zack Collins - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Belts first homer as Jay Collins went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the A's.

Impact Getting the start at designated hitter and batting sixth, Collins went back-to-back with Matt Chapman in the sixth inning to tie the game at 5-5, only for the Blue Jays bullpen to falter in the ninth. Collins' bat has come alive in this series, as he's gone 5-for-8 through two games against Oakland, with Saturday's homer being his first of the season. As long as he keeps hitting, manager Charlie Montoyo will likely keep finding a way to get Collins into the lineup at DH or behind the plate.

Impact Collins was acquired from the White Sox for Reese McGuire in a swap of backup catchers Sunday.

Traded to Blue Jays Collins was traded from the White Sox to the Blue Jays in exchange for Reese McGuire on Sunday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Collins was informed by the White Sox on Friday that he wouldn't break camp with the club, and he'll now attempt to carve out a role in the Blue Jays organization. Collins appeared in 78 games for the White Sox last year and hit .210 with four home runs, 26 RBI and 25 runs. He still has one option remaining, so it seems likely that he'll begin the year at Triple-A Buffalo. However, he'll be available to provide depth behind the dish if Danny Jansen or Alejandro Kirk deal with injuries.

Won't break camp in majors Collins was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

Impact Collins' poor defense behind the plate has led the White Sox to prefer Seby Zavala as Yasmani Grandal's backup. As a prospect, Collins was once thought to have enough pop in his bat to have a shot at carving out a role as a designated hitter even if he couldn't stick behind the plate, but his .195/.315/.330 career slash line suggests that won't be happening.

Recalled by White Sox Collins was called up by the White Sox on Tuesday.

Impact Collins provides additional catcher depth behind Yasmani Grandal, taking over the backup spot from Seby Zavala, who was optioned in a corresponding transaction. There could also be more at-bats available elsewhere for a bat-first player like Collins with Andrew Vaughn (back) landing on the injured list, but Collins' .202/.324/.331 season slash line suggests he shouldn't be spending much time as a designated hitter.

With Grandal now back in action, Zavala remains with the team while Collins heads to the minors, though he'll have a good chance to return once rosters expand at the start of September.
