Belt went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in Sunday's victory over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

After striking out in his first three at-bats, Belt came through with a two-run shot off Dominic Leone in the seventh inning to give the Blue Jays a 6-4 lead. It's Belt's third homer of the season and his first since May 10. While he hasn't hit for much power, Belt's been swinging the bat well after a cold start to the season -- he's batting .342 (25-for-73) over his last 25 games. The veteran first baseman is now slashing .259/.379/.415 with 14 RBI and 16 runs scored through 161 plate appearances this season.

Belt (illness) is back in the lineup Friday against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Belt (illness) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Belt (illness) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

After he was removed from Tuesday's 7-2 win with a stomach ailment, Belt will get at least one day off to fully recover. With Belt on the bench, George Springer will handle designated-hitter duties for Toronto.

Belt was removed in the eighth inning of Tuesday's game against the Brewers with a stomach issue, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Blue Jays have had several players deal with stomach issues in 2023, and unfortunately Belt is the latest. The left-handed hitting veteran should be considered day-to-day at this point.

Belt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Belt will retreat to the bench while the Rays bring ace southpaw Shane McClanahan to the mound Wednesday. George Springer will get a day out of the outfield and will replace Belt as the Blue Jays' designated hitter.

Belt is not in the starting lineup Monday against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Belt will get a breather after he went 4-for-13 with two doubles, a run scored, six walks and six strikeouts while starting each of the last five contests. Danny Jansen will replace him at designated hitter and bat eighth in the series opener with Tampa Bay.

Belt is not in the Blue Jays' lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Yankees, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Belt will serve as Toronto's designated hitter and No. 6 batter in Wednesday's game in Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Belt sat out against two of the four right-handed pitchers the Blue Jays faced in Boston last week, but he now finds himself in the starting nine versus a righty for the fourth day in a row. Though he benefited from Vladimir Guerrero being sidelined with a wrist injury for two of those games, Belt has earned back a strong-side platoon role by going 5-for-10 with three doubles, three walks, five runs and two RBI. Expect the lefty-hitting Belt to remain out of the lineup when the Blue Jays face southpaws, however.

Belt went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Getting the start at first base in place of Vladimir Guerrero (wrist) and batting fifth, Belt put together his second straight multi-hit performance as he finally begins to look comfortable in a Blue Jays uniform. Over his last 10 games, the former Giant is batting .313 (10-for-32) with four doubles and a homer, although he also has 14 strikeouts during that stretch. If Guerrero's wrist continues to bother him, Belt figures to pick up more playing time in the short term, but at the very least he seems to be re-establishing himself as Toronto's top option at DH against right-handed pitching.
