The Jays are back in Buffalo to welcome in the Red Sox and their decimated pitching staff.
As for the Jays pitching staff, yes to Patrick Murphy please:
Montoyo said Patrick Murphy is a guy they’ve talked about who could come up and start for #BlueJays. He’s been working as a starter at the alternate site in Rochester

Could we be seeing Vlad back at 3rd soon?
A couple days ago, Vlad Guerrero Jr. started taking some ground balls at third base. Montoyo maintained Vlad is their first baseman but if he can stay sharp at third, it gives the #BlueJays manager some options in case of injury or lineup juggling

We also have some injury updates:

We are glad you are here, and hope you feel welcome. As a reminder, we have rules. Mostly it's "don't be terrible," but these days it's also, "please debate about baseball and not the coronavirus." If a moderator asks you to stop doing something, please stop. If you want to discuss the rules, don't do it in the thread. Email Tom instead. We also have a BBB Glossary full of GameThread lingo you can find here.
