The Jays start a three-game weekend series with the Mariners in Seattle tonight.
As Minor Leaguer posted, we have a new middle infielder, Michael Stefanic, to replace Andrés Giménez, who is on the IL with a quad strain. We needed someone who could play the infield in case of injury. Stefanic hasn’t struck out much in the minors (about a 10% rate in his minor league career). He’s another undrafted player who has made it to the majors.
Tonight’s lineup. Kirk and Santander get the day off. Clase gets his third start of the season. His bunt single the other night was nice to see.
Tony Gwynn would have been 65 today. The Padres are celebrating him today.
Go Jays Go.
