Toronto Blue Jays SS Troy Tulowitzki is not in the starting lineup Wednesday, July 27. INF/OF Darwin Barney is starting at shortstop and batting eighth against San Diego Padres SP Luis Perdomo Wednesday.

Fantasy Tip: Sub out Tulowitzki in seasonal leagues where you can Wednesday. After a slow start, he's been solid with 24 runs, 11 home runs, 35 RBI and a .297/.340/.547 slash line over his past 44 games. Barney owns a .393 slugging percentage this season and has limited fantasy upside. He's a potential flier in daily contests Wednesday, but in seasonal leagues, it's best to leave him to cavernous mixed and AL-only leagues.

Toronto Blue Jays 1B Justin Smoak is not in the starting lineup against Seattle Mariners SP Wade Miley Sunday, July 24. 1B Edwin Encarnacion will start at first base, while 3B Josh Donaldson will serve as the designated hitter. 2B Darwin Barney will start at third base and is batting first.

Fantasy Tip: Barney is hitting .302 with five RBI this month and has a .282 average with one home run and four RBI against left-handed pitchers. Owners in daily fantasy leagues can considered Barney as a sleeper option for their lineup. Encarnacion and Donaldson should be started in all leagues.

Toronto Blue Jays INF Darwin Barney is starting in left field and leading off against Seattle Mariners SP James Paxton Friday, July 22.

Fantasy Tip: Barney has been a nice story, and he owns some upside in daily contests batting in front of the best hitters on the team Friday. However, this is a player with no power or speed potential and likely overachieving given his career .250/.299/.345 slash line.

Toronto Blue Jays INF/OF Darwin Barney went 2-for-4 with a triple, three RBI and two runs scored in a victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks Wednesday, July 20.

Fantasy Tip: Barney is batting .297 with three home runs and 15 RBI through 192 at-bats this season. He is worth owning in AL-only fantasy leagues and should be viewed as a productive source of cap relief in daily contests.

Toronto Blue Jays OF Ezequiel Carrera (Achilles') is still dealing with an Achilles' injury, which is why 2B Darwin Barney is starting in left field Wednesday, July 20.

Fantasy Tip: Sadly for Carrera, his fantasy value is likely going to drop even more once Jose Bautista returns early next week. Carrera had a .274 average, 35 runs and five steals during a playing time boost with Joey Bats injured. He could still play sparingly, but he'll likely be limited to AL-only leagues as depth moving forward.
