So this is a lineup we weren't hoping to see this season:
No Devon Travis tonight. Donaldson leads off. Goins and Diaz lineup #bluejays pic.twitter.com/eqBS8CI4GP

Ryan Goins and Jonathan Diaz in the same batting order. I wonder when the last time Donaldson was the leadoff hitter in a game.
About Travis:
Travis is still very sore. There were concerns last night that he had a crack in his collarbone but x-ray was clean. #bluejays

I stand by the 'he should have been taken out of yesterday's game'. This stuff bugs me. We've had enough injuries that we should be proactive, not watching guys swing the bat when they are hurting.
Speaking of Devon Travis, the Toronto chapter of the Baseball Writers of America (read that sentence twice) voted Devon as the Honda Blue Jays player of the month. The first of several awards he should receive this month.
David Schoenfield, at ESPN SweetSpot, list the 10 top plays of April,which I think he's messed up because there is just one Kevin Pillar clip.
Barry Davis gives us the reasoning behind calling up Andrew Albers:
Albers gives the #bluejays 4 lefties in the bullpen. He was selected because he can go multiple inn and today is his day to pitch. #BlueJays

Editor note: SB Nation partner FanDuel is a daily fantasy baseball game, where you can actually win money. Today's game is $3 to play and has $125,000 in prizes (all US funds). It is fun, give it a try.
