The Jays are in Cleveland to start a series with the Guardians tonight.
Erik Swanson cleared waivers and was released today. I’m surprised he was released. I would have thought that they would have had him play in Buffalo and see if he can right things.
There were a couple of injury notes:
- Yimi Garcia will pitch in Dunedin (Low-A) on Thursday, then Buffalo on Sunday (barring setbacks).
- Daulton Varsho felt tightness in his hamstring while running yesterday, so he’s off running for a bit, but he’s swinging a bat.
- Alek Manoah threw a 25-pitch bullpen, hit 95. “It was the best he’s felt in a while”.
Today’s lineup. I like Clement in the two-spot against a lefty,
