The Rays - they are beatable, right?
Back to the bright future. Vlad is good, or something.
Congratulations to #BlueJays uber-prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr., our 2018 Hitter of the Year. At just 19, he had an historic season, in which he made a run at .400 and led @MiLB in AVG (.381), SLG (.636) & OPS (1.073): https://t.co/T8A6m5WOTR pic.twitter.com/m8e7zMZdS6

David Paulino, who the Blue Jays acquired in the Roberto Osuna trade, has been activated off the DL for tonight’s game.
He is, uh, quite tall.

Here are tonight’s lineups. Jonathan Davis will make his major league debut playing center. Diaz gets another start at 3rd and Jansen will catch for Aaron Sanchez.
