#Bluejays are on a major league record streak of 61 games (dating back to last season) of not having a starter make it to the seventh inning. Hyun-Jin Ryu will try tonight and Taijuan Walker (who has done it twice this season) is up tomorrow.

Congrats to Shun Yamaguchi on his first #MLB win tonight!

Yamaguchi in August: 11 2/3 ip, 5h, 2r, 5bb, 12K. Opponents have hit .132 against him. #Bluejays

Drury has been worth -0.5 fWAR and -0.6 fWAR in the last two full seasons, and entered tonight valued at -0.4 fWAR with a sub-.400 OPS...
Something's gotta give, and when the #BlueJays are healthy, they simply need more from their bench.

Players talked him up all spring and into summer camp, so #BlueJays have decided to keep Dante Bichette on the coaching staff full time, I’m told.
He’s been mentioned as a valuable resource by a number of hitters.
