MIAMI — Brandon Belt has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list by the Toronto Blue Jays.

Belt is hitting .263 this season with four home runs and 16 runs batted in over 152 at bats.

Horwitz had two hits, scored a run and had an RBI in eight at bats in his three games with Toronto this season.

Belt signed a one-year deal with the Blue Jays worth US$9.3 million on Jan. 10.
