GameThread Game #65: Orioles at Blue Jays

The Blue Jays are going for the sweep. It's been so long since I've been able to write that. It's nice.

We have some not so nice news:

#BlueJays say Vlad Guerrero Jr. underwent series of tests on knee, diagnosed with strain of left patella tendon. Will be "managed conservatively," including initial rest period. Will be re-evaluated in four weeks. Short version: He’ll be out for a month, maybe more,

Other injury updates:

In other injury updates, Marcus Stroman will pitch again on Wednesday. Pearce might see game action by the end of the week. Donaldson still needs to complete baserunning before returning. #BlueJays

Here are today's lineups. Smoak gets a day off so Morales will play 1B. It looks like Travis is still resting from his knee injury, and walk off walk hero Luke Maile will sit.

GO JAYS GO!
