Adam Lind doubled, singled and walked in his three plate appearances against the Rays on Wednesday.
Lind is 8-for-20 with a homer and four doubles this spring. He'll be the Blue Jays' No. 5 hitter against right-handers this year. The team would prefer to sit him versus lefties, but a platoon partner hasn't been settled on yet.

Adam Lind belted a solo homer in Tuesday's win over the Phillies.
Lind went down and got a breaking ball from B.J. Rosenberg, putting it into the palm trees over the right field fence. The 30-year-old is coming off a strong .288/.357/.497 season and will look to maintain or improve upon it in his walk year.

Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe reports that the Blue Jays could trade Adam Lind this winter.
The club picked up Lind's $7 million option for 2014, but Cafardo believes they could then turn around and trade him. He writes that there is "some sentiment in the organization that he doesn't fit what the Blue Jays are trying to build in terms of attitude." Lind had a big bounce-back season in 2013, batting .288/.357/.497 with 23 homers and 67 RBI.

Blue Jays picked up 1B Adam Lind's $7 million option for 2014.
Lind had a big bounce-back season in 2013, batting .288/.357/.497 with 23 homers and 67 RBI, making the $7 million option seem quite reasonable. He'll be back as the club's first baseman again and should make for a solid corner infield option in fantasy leagues.

Adam Lind was removed from Saturday's game against the Rays after his nagging back injury began acting up on him again.
Lind seemed to tweak something after lining a two-run single to left in the fourth inning, jogging very gingerly to first base afterwards. It's a pretty safe bet that he's taken him final plate appearance of the season.

Adam Lind homered twice and drove in six runs to help the Blue Jays rout the Twins 11-2 on Saturday.
It has been a highly disappointing 2013 campaign for Toronto, but the return to form for Lind has been a bright spot in all of the frustration. He hit a three-run blast in the first inning off Twins starter Kevin Correia and another three-run shot in the ninth inning off Twins reliever Caleb Thielbar. Lind is batting .282/.353/.484 with 19 homers and 54 RBI in 125 games this season.
