After today, the Jays will be halfway done the season. But first, they have an early chance to take a series from a division rival we would just love to beat.

Danny Jansen is back from the injured list, and Riley Adams has been optioned down.

Here are today’s lineups. Springer stays in the no 4 spot, Bichette gets a DH day, and Espinal gets a start at 3rd.
