The Jays officially activated Dylan Cease off the IL and sent Adam Macko back to Buffalo.
Macko pitched in 12 games for the Jays, with a 1.50 ERA. In 12 innings he had allowed 11 hits, 1 home run, 2 walks and 12 strikeouts. Batters hit .244/.282/.333 against him. I liked that he could throw more than an inning at a go. I am sure we’ll see him again.
Dylan Cease made 11 starts, before going on the IL, with a 3-3 record, and a 3.05 ERA. Batters hit .215/.302/.307 against him. I’m very happy to have him back and even more happy that we won’t be seeing ‘bullpen days’ so often. Spencer Miles can slot into a long relief role (along with Woods Richardson).
And Max Scherzer will be getting tomorrow’s start, with someone else getting moved out.
Alejandro Kirk is DHing for the Bisons tonight, he’s only a few days from being back.
Tonight’s lineups. The big news is Vlad hitting leadoff (and DHing). Springer gets a day off. I’ve said I’d like to see Vlad leading off for a while now. I hope he buys into the idea. Course, this doesn’t mean that he’ll be in that spot tomorrow.
