The Jays are looking to take the series early from a division foe, which is no easy task considering the foe, the location, and the starting pitchers the Jays are up against.
We have some roster moves ahead of today’s game:
- Jordan Romano has been reinstated from the 10-day IL
- Ty Tice has been recalled from Alternate Training Site
- Josh Palacios and Travis Bergen have been optioned to Alternate Training Site
We also have some injury updates. It doesn’t sound like we will see Springer this weekend:
George Springer will play in another alt site game tonight against the Marlins. Nate Pearson also scheduled to pitch 2-3 innings in that one.

Unlikely Springer is activated from IL on Sunday. If all goes well, he’ll make his Blue Jays debut during next week’s homestand.
The Jays also signed a couple players to minor league deals:

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. You can Adopt-a-Jay here, and here’s a helpful tutorial on how to post images in the comments.
