The Jays are going for the series win. It wouldn’t yield a first place in the division anymore, but would be nice to get anyway.
We have some minor injury updates:
Anthony Castro's “real close” to being activated from IL, per Blue Jays pitching coach Pete Walker. “Could be any day.”
— Arden Zwelling (@ArdenZwelling) May 20, 2021
Walker adds Thomas Hatch is “feeling great” as he continues building workload. Hatch got up over 3 IP in last outing; scheduled to start for Buffalo tonight.
George Springer’s not on the brink of returning to @BlueJays but his running progression is going really well, GM Ross Atkins told Brunt & @SNJeffBlair on @FAN590. Once near-full speed, live reps would be next. A rehab assignment “pretty likely at this point” per Atkins.

Here are tonight’s lineups: Biggio will play 2nd, Bichette will DH and Gurriel gets a day off.
