"Amidst an early-season slew of injuries, the Toronto Blue Jays struck a deal with the Chicago White Sox earlier this week to acquire out-of-options infielder Lenyn Sosa, hoping to supply a bit of short-term thump in the absence of George Springer, Addison Barger and Alejandro Kirk."
"While Sosa's Blue Jays tenure is only three games old, the 26-year-old is already showing early flashes of the approach that led to his 22 home-run, 75-RBI career year campaign across 140 games with the White Sox last season."
"Sosa's first near-miss occurred in the seventh inning of Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, as his 363-foot flyball (99.9-m.p.h. exit velocity) off left-hander DL Hall was caught up against the left-field wall."
"The next day, Thursday's series finale in Milwaukee, Sosa's second near-miss came on a 104.4-m.p.h. liner - his hardest-hit ball as a Blue Jay - that bounced out of play in centre for a ground-rule double and the first extra-base hit with his new team."
The Toronto Blue Jays traded for infielder Lenyn Sosa from the Chicago White Sox to address injuries in their lineup. Sosa, a former 20-home-run hitter, has shown potential in his first three games with the team. He has recorded three hits in eight plate appearances without any walks or strikeouts. Sosa nearly hit home runs twice, showcasing his power potential. His performance indicates a low-risk, high-reward gamble for the Blue Jays as they seek to improve their offensive output.
