Let’s take the series.

Ryu has been placed on the IL with a neck strain. Ross Stripling is an option to make up his next start. The Jays need to figure out whatever it is that’s been causing him to struggle so much lately.

Here are today’s lineups. Jansen catches, Valera gets the start at 3rd, and Dickerson will start in center.
