Alejandro Kirk has been put on the 7-day concussion list. Ali Sanchez is up with the team. Losing him is a big hit, Kirk has been great this season.
Every day is a good day when the Jays are in first place.
The Jays are 17-4 this month, which is amazing.
Max Scherzer is 41 years old and still in the majors. He’s done well for himself. At the moment, he has a 217-112 record, which will get him into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Shea Hillenbrand, he of the ‘ship is sinking’ fame, turns 50 today. He’s not going to the Hall of Fame. When the front office talks about getting ‘good character’ players, they don’t mean him.
Later today, Dick Allen, Dave Parker, CC Sabathia, Ichiro Suzuki and Billy Wagner will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, with Will Wagner there to watch his dad get in. It starts at 2:30, pushed back because of weather.
Today’s lineup, Roden gets a start.
