Thanks to Tom for jumping in and putting up a GameThread while I left him hanging yesterday, especially not long after he said how reliable I was. His poll questions were great - I should leave him to come up with them on short notice more often.
The Jays are going for the series win in the rubber match against their former starter in Chase Anderson.
We have some injury updates this moring:
Re George Springer, who’s been doing some running this week, Atkins: “He feels good. He’s moving around relatively well. But this is just the beginning of the running progression.”
— Arden Zwelling (@ArdenZwelling) May 16, 2021
Next steps for Springer will be building up to play nine innings, possible rehab assignment.
Atkins says Thomas Hatch (60-day IL) is “recovering exceptionally well. All of his weapons have looked good. Fastball life is there.”
— Arden Zwelling (@ArdenZwelling) May 16, 2021
Hatch will join triple-A Buffalo in the coming days and “he’ll be seemingly an option for us, barring anything unforeseen, when he’s eligible."

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