| September 17, 2007 Lyle Overbay will have a procedure next week to remove four screws from his hand, according to the AP. He could be used as a pinch-hitter or defensive replacement this week before having the surgery, but he won't get enough playing time to have any value. |
| July 29, 2007 Lyle Overbay was back in the lineup Saturday after sitting out Friday with flu-like symptoms, the AP reports. "I saw him when he got here," manager John Gibbons said.

| July 20, 2007 Lyle Overbay didnt start on Thursday because of a dizzy spell in his hotel room that caused him to fall and hit his head against a chair. "I feel fine," Overbay told MLB.com. "I got up this morning and felt a little light-headed. I kind of sat down back on my bed and next thing I knew I was face-planted into the carpet. I hit the chair on the way down. It was just a combination of probably being dehydrated and it was about 100 percent humidity yesterday." Overbay isnt clumsy, hes been battling dizzy spells for many years, although tests have ruled out serious ailments like seizures. He says he is feeling fine now and should be ready to take the field this weekend. |

| June 5, 2007 The Blue Jays placed Lyle Overbay on the disabled list Tuesday. He's expected to miss four to six weeks due to a broken bone in his right hand, an injury sustained on Sunday. Matt Stairs will handle most of the work at first while Overbay is out of action. |

Overbay was injured when he was hit by a pitch from the White Sox's John Danks in the third inning of Sunday's game, according to the AP. "It's always going to hurt right off the bat, but I just knew," Overbay said. "It got worse as the day went on." Matt Stairs will likely get the bulk of the playing time at first while Overbay is out. |

| April 3, 2007 Lyle Overbay batted second against the Tigers on Monday, and manager John Gibbons plans to use the same alignment on Wednesday against Nate Robertson, according to the Blue Jays website. "This will be the way we'll be with Robertson, but then we'll just see where we're at," Gibbons said. "If it's working, [Overbay will remain the No. 2 hitter]. If it's not working, you'd be crazy not to make adjustments. But I think it'll work." Overbay primarily batted fifth in 2006. |
| January 14, 2007 Lyle Overbay agreed to a four-year, $24 million deal with the Blue Jays on Sunday, according to the AP. He hit .312 with 22 home runs and 92 RBI with Toronto in 2006. |
