GameThread Game #68: Blue Jays at Rays

One more game in the House of Horrors. JA Happ has been tasked with preventing the sweep. We will see if he is immune from the Curse of the Trop.

I was hoping Josh Donaldson would be back by now, but it sounds like he may start with a rehab game in Buffalo on Friday:

Here are today's lineups. Smoak has been bumped up to second, which I'm a fan of. He's being pitched around a lot so maybe this will help. Devon Travis gets a day off, so Urshela will play 3rd.

Today's Lineups
