After four very long days, baseball is finally back. The bad news is the Blue Jays are kicking off the second half by playing the Sith and Joe West is behind home plate. Hopefully the Jays can at the very least keep their strong offense from the last Yankees’ series going.

Here are today’s lineups. Vlad has been bumped down to 5th, Smoak is 6th, and Grichuk is back in right field. Jansen will catch for Aaron Sanchez.
