Time to find out if stealing away one of the Rays’ leaders and integrating him into our team is the key to curing the curse of the Trop. At the very least, hopefully our no-hit woes are (mostly) a thing of the past.
We have another whole slew of injury updates. This one makes me particularly sad.
Slew of #BlueJays injury updates here: setback for Ryan Borucki, who experienced soreness in his elbow after his latest bullpen on April 3. He received a cortisone injection today after imaging and consulting a specialist. Will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Some good news injury updates:
- Tepera will throw tonight in Buffalo
- Richard will play catch this weekend
- Phelps ramping back up to side sessions
Pompey, Travis and Axford are all being evaluated to start resuming baseball activities
For all of us on #VladWatch (which to be honest, who isn’t?)
Ross Atkins just held court. Talked Vlad, Jr. a lot. Said he’ll be up sooner than later, but doesn’t think it’s a matter of days quite yet. Also said it’s possible Tepera could come back to #Bluejays after tonight’s outing with #Bisons if tonight goes especially well.

There’s also this:
Kevin Cash sent over a package of gifts for Charlie Montoyo to honour his decades of work in #Rays organization. Lots of old TB giveaways, including an Akinori Iwamura bobblehead and a wearable DJ Kitty head! #Bluejays pic.twitter.com/wA463MnzTS

Here are tonight’s lineups. Billy McKinney is leading off, the red hot Freddy Galvis stays in the number 2 slot, and Maile will once again catch for the rookie Thornton. Drury and Tellez will be on the bench.
