GameThread Game #85: Blue Jays at Rays

MLB: Baltimore Orioles at Tampa Bay Rays Douglas DeFelice-USA TODAY Sports

The Jays are in Florida for the last series before the all star break. Sadly, it’s another series at the Little Trop of Horrors.

We have some (minor) injury updates:

Since he doesn’t have a start lined up until the all star break, Steven Matz will be available out of the bullpen this weekend.

Here are tonight’s lineups. Gurriel will DH.

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.
