The Jays have reported back to Buffalo for a little doubleheader with the Phillies to make up their postponed games from a few weekends ago.
For all of us hoping Ryan Borucki might start again, it doesn’t sound like that’s the plan:
While #BlueJays haven't closed the door on Ryan Borucki starting in the future, the more likely scenario is a high-volume reliever per GM Ross Atkins

Based on what Jays are seeing from Borucki out of the 'pen (31 batters faced, 14 Ks, 0 runs allowed) that seems like a good call
And a little update on Big Nate:
#BlueJays right-hander Nate Pearson underwent an MRI on his elbow this morning. Team is awaiting results but GM Ross Atkins says "we're not initially overly concerned."

Here are the lineups for Game 1. Biggio will get his first start in center, Billy McKinney, who has been recalled as the 29th player will get a start in left, and red hot Randal Grichuk will DH.
