David Cooper went 0-for-4 in Wednesday's loss and is 0-for-13 in his last five games. |

Fri Jun 1 2012 | 22:10 | David Cooper launches first home run in loss |
David Cooper launched his first home run of the season in a losing effort against the Red Sox on Friday. |
He finished the night 2-for-4 also adding a double. Though there has been talk of the Jays recalling Adam Lind or Vladimir Guerrero in the near future, Cooper has provided solid production while in the lineup. He's now hitting .360 (9-for-25) and has driven home three runs. If given the chance at everyday at-bats, he could become relevant in most fantasy leagues. |
