| Player Notes |
| July 13, 2008 David Eckstein was the designated hitter for the Toronto Blue Jays in their 4-1 victory over the Yankees. He went 1-for-4 with one strikeout in the game, and is hitting .269 on the year. |
| July 4, 2008 The Baltimore Orioles have looked into acquiring shortstop David Eckstein from the Blue Jays, according to the Baltimore Sun. |
| July 3, 2008 The Blue Jays are not satisfied with the play of shortstop David Eckstein, and are actively searching for a shortstop in the trade market, according to the Toronto Sun. |
| May 27, 2008 The Blue Jays have activated shortstop David Eckstein who is in the lineup for Toronto this evening versus Oakland, according to the Associated Press. |
| May 26, 2008 David Eckstein , who was expected to return from the disabled list today, will be activated before Tuesday's game at Oakland. The starting shortstop has been rehabbing a hip flexor injury that resulted in him missing the last two weeks. |
| May 23, 2008 Manager John Gibbons said David Eckstein could be activated from the DL on Monday, according to the AP. The shortstop is coming back from a hip flexor injury. |
| May 21, 2008 David Eckstein has suffered a setback in his return from a hip flexor injury, and he won't be back with the Blue Jays on Thursday as expected, according to the Toronto Globe and Mail. He is currently on a rehab assignment. "He was a little tender, and he didn't play (Tuesday) or today (Wednesday)," manager John Gibbons said. "There's still 4 1/2 months left in the season and we want this cleared up when he's here. So he'll need to play a few more games down there." |
| May 20, 2008 Toronto manager John Gibbons told the team website prior to Tuesday's game that David Eckstein is on target to rejoin the Jays for Thursday's game against the Angels. |
| May 8, 2008 Just a day after saying that he wouldn't be placed on the DL, David Eckstein was placed on the DL on Thursday with a strained hip flexor, according to the Associated Press. |
| May 7, 2008 David Eckstein will avoid the DL despite an injured hip, according to MLB.com. "Eckstein, in a pinch, could probably do something," GM J.P. Ricciardi said. "It's nothing really serious. He's pretty much day-to-day, so we're going to try to see if we can keep him playing." Injured John McDonald (ankle) will also avoid the DL. |
| May 6, 2008 David Eckstein left Tuesday's game in the fifth inning due to a sore right groin. John McDonald took his place. |
| April 20, 2008 David Eckstein crushed a three-run homer in Sunday's 5-3 win over Detroit. He went 2-for-4 overall. |
| April 15, 2008 David Eckstein had three hits and scored three runs in the Jays 11-3 win over the Orioles. |
| April 5, 2008 SS David Eckstein put the hurt on the Boston Red Sox today, serving as one of several offensive powers in a 10-2 victory. Eckstein went 2-for-5 at the plate, bringing three RBIs across home plate. On the bright side for Boston, Eckstein was caught stealing... and that's about all they stopped him from doing today. |
| April 2, 2008 David Eckstein went 0-for-4 with a strikeout against the Yankees on Tuesday, while leaving three men on base. He batted lead-off and will have to be more productive if he plans on keeping his important spot at the top of the order. |
| March 26, 2008 David Eckstein enjoyed a nice day at the plate in Toronto's 6-3 win over Cincinnati today. Eckstein went 3-for-4 with a double and a RBI (his eighth of spring training). Eck has never been known for swinging stick (hitting just .227 this spring), but days like this indicate he could work well at the top of Toronto's order. |
| March 6, 2008 David Eckstein did something he rarely does, that is he hit a HR on Thursday for the Jays. In fact, it was a grand slam. I havent had solid contact the whole spring training, said Eckstein on a report on the AP. So it was finally nice to hit one solid. Eckstein is struggling along with a .182 average this spring, but he figures to be his normal spunky, overachieving self for the Jays once the season starts. |
