GameThread Game #158: Astros at Blue Jays

Five games to go

MLB: Houston Astros at Toronto Blue Jays Nick Turchiaro-USA TODAY Sports

It’s a sad news day in Blue Jays land. Roberto Osuna had his case resolved, Lourdes Gurriel Jr is out for the remainder of the season with a hamstring strain, and Aaron Sanchez had surgery on his right index finger.

Hey, here’s something positive:

Tonight’s lineup is chock full of rookies. Davis leads off again, Smith Jr gets a start in left field, and Jansen will catch for Sam Gaviglio.
