The Blue Jays believe a mechanical flaw with Adam Lind's swing may be responsible for his struggles since the All-Star break.
Lind is batting just .196/.234/.324 since the Midsummer Classic, but Jays have made a correction to his batting stance (keeping his front foot closer to his body when he swings). His fantasy owners can only hope it works, as he's getting close to unstartable in mixed leagues.

Adam Lind is receiving a day off Saturday and will not play Sunday, either.
He's not hurt, but Blue Jays manager John Farrell just wanted to get him an extended rest with Monday's off day. Lind has had a nice year but has been fighting it at the plate in July, batting just .218/.275/.327.

Adam Lind hit his 17th homer on Tuesday en route to a 1-for-6 day.
It was his first homer in 18 games, while his batting average (.297) dropped below .300 for the first time since May 4. He is on pace to settle somewhere in between his wildly disparate 2009 and 2010 numbers.

Adam Lind hit a solo home run in Toronto's loss to the Tigers on Monday.
Lind's first home run in nine games was his 16th of the season. For the month of June, he is now batting .316 with nine home runs and 22 RBI. If not for Adrian Gonzalez, he'd have a good shot at being named the American League's player of the month.
