We won an extra innings game? I don’t believe it.
We have a roster move I missed:
Santiago Espinal hits the IL with a hip flexor strain as Jarrod Dyson, freshly claimed on waivers, is activated for the Blue Jays today.

Sounds like Springer will return tomorrow!
George Springer ran sprints at high intensity before today’s game and told me afterward that he’s hopeful about being activated to play Monday vs. the Orioles in Toronto. @MLB @MLBNetwork @FAN590 @Sportsnet

Here are today’s lineups that will be looking to take the series. Kirk bats 5th, Smith gets the start at 3rd 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.
