To state the obvious, the Blue Jays are in a rough stretch of baseball. Maybe this will help:
#BlueJays don’t need a fifth starter until May 18 but they’ve kicked around idea of sliding in someone earlier to give other four starters an extra day. They’ve gone every five days without any extra rest since Matt Shoemaker was injured.

#BlueJays manager Charlie Montoyo spoke with Aaron Sanchez after he made these comments. Montoyo felt they were made “in the heat of the moment.” Sanchez addressed this with teammates after per Montoyo https://t.co/Y9CY0woUjp

Also, Alen “mmmmBop” Hanson has cleared waivers and will be assigned to the AAA Bisons.
Here are today’s lineups. Smoak moves up to the number 2 slot, Guerrero Jr stays in the 5th, and 0.00 ERA Luke Maile will catch for Aaron Sanchez.
