Last night’s loss sucked, but that’s okay because Alek Manoah is here to save the day!
As usual we have some injury updates:
George Springer is getting closer to a rehab assignment, per #BlueJays manager Charlie Montoyo. Alejandro Kirk is DHing today in a game at extended spring training. Cavan Biggio has played 3 games at third w/ the Bisons and still hasn’t gotten a groundball but he’s near a return

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.
