Summary

Almost everything is going according to plan for the Toronto Blue Jays. The top of the lineup is hot, the rotation is delivering quality outings, and many injured Jays are nearing their return. 

The heavily used bullpen is starting to show signs of wear and tear but Vladdy, Bo, Teoscar and Semien are doing what they can to shoulder the load. Gurriel is getting hot and Danny Jansen’s batting average has slowly been creeping up over the past week. 

Baseball America now has 8 Blue Jays in their Top 100 Prospects, the most of any MLB team. Alek Manoah and Gabriel Moreno have joined Austin Martin, Nate Pearson, Jordan Groshans, Simeon Woods Richardson, Alejandro Kirk and Orelvis Martinez in that elite category. 

With 3 games against Boston and 4 against Tampa Bay left in Dunedin can the Blue Jays take advantage and gain ground on their division foes?

Marcus Semien and the Toronto Blue Jays split a four game series with the Oakland Athletics this week. The A’s gave Semien a standing ovation and a tribute video in a ballpark the California native called home for 6 seasons.

The Pioneer Independent League is trying out a HR derby to decide tie games, and ESPN announcers claim that fans like the runner on second base extra innings rule. That’s gonna be a no from me dawg. 

We’ll be back after an exciting series with the Atlanta Braves! 

Summary

The Blue Jays are heading back to Dunedin with a series win against the Rays at the Trop. A rare feat. 

Matz, Ray and Ryu all gave the Jays much needed stability and the bullpen combined for only 1 earned run allowed over 3 games!

Ryu left his start with a minor glute strain. It doesn’t sound like he expects to miss much, if any, time.
