It’s a new day, and a fresh chance to shake of yesterday’s horrible loss and start a new winning streak.
We have some positive news on the George Springer front:
Charlie Montoyo says that today was George Springer's best day yet. A rehab assignment in AAA sounds likeliest when he's ready.
— Keegan Matheson (@KeeganMatheson) June 5, 2021
Springer ran the bases and did straight-line sprints, then did throwing drills, took fly balls and took BP. #BlueJays
Here are today’s lineups. Grichuk gets a DH day, Davis will play center and McGuire will catch.

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.
