We have a rubber match today on Father’s Day (Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!). Dear Jays, please win for the dads. Thank you.
Hopefully the team can ride the energy of that 9th inning comeback to a new lengthy streak, fueled by a George Springer return on Tuesday.
Before we get into our updates from Ross Atkins, this seems noteworthy:
Gabriel Moreno, hitting .375 with a 1.080 OPS at AA, and who was a SS growing up before he became a catcher, is starting at 3B today for New Hampshire, the first time he has played anywhere other than C as a professional. pic.twitter.com/Ky7yvuJYeE

Is it too early for trade talk?:
Blue Jays are also open to adding a starting pitcher, said Atkins, but there's "not a ton of it" on the market.
