Reed Johnson

4/29/2006

Johnson tied a major league record after he was hit by pitches three times in Toronto's 17-6 loss the New York Yankees on Saturday. He was plunked three times on April 7 against Tampa Bay and was also hit three times against Texas on April 16, 2005. The left fielder is batting .395 with two RBIs in 38 at-bats this season.

Johnson has been slowed this spring by a tender right elbow, but the Toronto outfielder played in his first spring training Wednesday. He singled and stole two bases as the Jays' designated hitter. He is expected to play in the outfield in the next week.

12/7/2005

Johnson has avoided arbitration, agreeing to a one-year, $1.45 million contract to remain with the Toronto Blue Jays. The outfielder appeared in 142 games in 2005, batting .269 with eight home runs, 58 RBIs and five stolen bases.

Batting in the leadoff spot on Tuesday night, Johnson sparked Toronto's 9-6 win over Boston with a pair of home runs and five RBI. His three-run bomb with the score tied 6-6 in the bottom of the ninth produced the Jays' first walkoff home run of 2005.

4/17/2005

Johnson tied a major league record on Saturday, when he was hit by pitches in three at-bats of Toronto's 8-0 win over Texas. Twice the Jays' outfielder was hit with the bases loaded, generating a pair of RBI. The last player to tie the mark was Johnson's current teammate, Corey Koskie, who was hit three times while with Minnesota in 2004.
