Colabello is out of the lineup for the third straight day Saturday, SportsNet's Barry Davis reports. He has two home runs in his last four starts, so it would not seem that the dip in playing time is warranted. That said, his OPS is more than 200 points lower against righties than against lefties, so perhaps the Blue Jays will just pick their spots with him going forward when a southpaw is not on the mound.

Colabello continued his surprise season Monday, launching his eighth home run of the season. Colabello has only started every other game this month, but has now homered in consecutive starts and has hit safely in each of his last five starts. After struggling to the tune of a .229 average with Minnesota last year, Colabello is hitting .335 with a career-high eight bombs this season.

Colabello went 2-for-4 Saturday with a two-run blast, his seventh home run of the season. Just when it seems like he might be cooling off, Colabello pops up with another homer. He's now got a highly improbable .335/.374/.505 slash line and 31 RBI in 51 games.

Colabello is not in Friday's lineup, SportsNet's Barry Davis reports. Colabello has started to cool down a little at the plate, with his average dropping from .343 to .332 over his last 23 at-bats. Justin Smoak gets the start at first base with Edwin Encarnacion in at DH Friday.

Colabello is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rangers. Colabello has defied the skeptics and has continued to sizzle to the tune of a .337/.379/.506 slash line across 190 plate appearances, which should guarantee his presence in the lineup more often than not. However, manager John Gibbons seems inclined to bring another left-handed bat in the fold Sunday against rookie right-hander Chi Chi Gonzalez, allowing Dioner Navarro to serve as the DH while Colabello sits.

Colabello provided the only run in Wednesday's win over Tampa Bay with a 12th-inning solo homer -- his only hit in five at-bats on the day. He started the game in left field and moved to first base after Edwin Encarnacion left for a pinch runner. He may have entered the season with that Quad-A label, but we're still waiting for Colabello to cool off -- 44 games into the season, his average remains a lofty .343, and he's providing fantasy-relevant pop as well.

Colabello is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays. Colabello tallied two hits and two RBI in Monday's game, but he will sit out in favor of Ezequiel Carrera for the second time in three days with the Blue Jays looking to get another left-handed hitter in the lineup against Rays ace Chris Archer.

Colabello is out of the lineup Sunday against the Orioles, Sportsnet's Barry Davis reports. Colabello will receive a regular day off after starting six straight games in left field. Saturday's 0-for-3 performance snapped an eight-game hit streak, but the 31-year-old is still batting an impressive .344 on the season. However, a large portion of that can likely be attributed to a highly unsustainable .447 BABIP.

Colabello went 1-for-4 with his fifth homer and two runs scored Thursday against the Mets. We keep waiting for Colabello to go back to being his Quad-A self, and yet the 31-year-old just keeps hitting -- he's hit safely in seven straight games and 25 of his last 26, which has helped him maintain that mid-.300s batting average. With the near-everyday run he's getting, even mixed-league owners are obliged to take a look at this point.

Colabello went 2-for-5 in Monday's 11-inning loss to the Mets. The career .251 hitter has built off his early momentum and is now hitting .347 in 37 games this season, which would lead the American League if he qualified. After starting the season in the minors, despite his defensive shortcomings, Colabello has shown that he's here to stay and will attempt to keep this hot start going through the season.
