Norichika Aoki (L) LF Charlie Morton RHP Morton will be activated after spending six weeks on the disabled list with a strained right lat muscle. This will be his first start since May 24, when he threw seven strong innings against Detroit. He made three rehab starts. By Keegan Matheson / MLB.com | 12:24 PM ET + 10 COMMENTS Aaron Sanchez will be activated from the disabled list for Friday's start against Charlie Morton and the American League-best Astros as the Blue Jays look to have a strong final weekend before the All-Star break. Sanchez has hit the DL three times this season, all for blister or fingernail issues on his right middle finger. The 2016 AL ERA leader has been limited to just five starts this season, posting a 3.33 ERA over his 24 1/3 innings. In a pair of rehab starts, Sanchez worked his pitch count up from 64 to 76 without any issue. In his final outing for Triple-A Buffalo, the right-hander allowed three earned runs on five hits while walking three batters over 4 1/3 innings. Morton is returning from an injury, too. The veteran right-hander has spent the past six weeks on the disabled list with a strained right lat muscle and will be making his first start since May 24. The longer layoff required Morton to make three rehab starts. Most recently, with Double-A Corpus Christi, he threw 74 pitches. Strikeouts have been the standout number for Morton this season, with his rate of 10.1 per nine innings being well above his career average of 6.6. He's hit double-digit strikeouts twice in his 10 starts, with 10 against the Yankees and 12 against the Athletics. Manager A.J. Hinch said following Thursday's series opener that righty Dayan Diaz will be optioned to make room for Morton. Things to watch for in this game • Sanchez is taking back his rotation spot that had been occupied by Joe Biagini, who is expected to return to the bullpen. This could change, however, based on the status of Marcus Stroman, whose finger was "raw" after his last outing, which brought worry of blistering. Biagini would likely start in Stroman's next spot in the rotation if he couldn't go, which should be clarified by Friday. • The most important pitch for Sanchez on Friday will be his curveball. As he's dealt with blister and fingernail issues throughout the season, that is the pitch he's pointed to as the leading cause. With the spin needed to throw a proper curve, the right-hander shied away from it at times, but should be able to embrace his full arsenal at full health. • Morton was working on a stellar 25.8 percent strikeout rate before hitting the disabled list, so keep an eye out to see if he's still able to miss as many bats in his return -- especially those of left-handed batters. Coming in from the right-hand side, Morton has mostly employed his high-spin curveball (avg. 2,882 RPM, 6th-highest in MLB) and his cutter to bury the ball at lefties' back foot. So much for a platoon advantage for those lefties; they've missed on 30.6 percent of their swings so far against Morton, which is the fourth-highest rate among 115 qualified right-handed starters.

Cutch just keeps hitting!

SOURCE: BLUE JAYS FINALIZE PLANS FOR JULY TRADES BY GIDEON TURK JULY 7, 2017 After a conference call with the baseball operations staff on Friday afternoon, the Blue Jays front office has decided what their plans will be for trades in July, according to a source familiar with the situation. Specifically, the team is open to trading any of their four players with fewer than a year of control left, namely Marco Estrada, Joe Smith, Francisco Liriano, and Jose Bautista. Additionally, the club will also listen to trade offers on a couple of players who will hit the free agent market after 2018, like Steve Pearce or J.A. Happ, but are in no hurry to move them. This lines up with what Mark Shapiro has been saying all along in the media, specifically to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet and Scott MacArthur of TSN Radio. However, the source also mentioned that the team will not be looking to dump salaries and start a rebuild. The trades must make sense from a baseball standpoint for the club at this point, and the team is even open to taking salary on in trades like they did last year when acquiring Francisco Liriano from the Pittsburgh Pirates. The front office is intent on improving the team for the rest of this season, 2018, and beyond. Despite rumours from various members of the national media in the United States, like Jon Morosi, Buster Olney, and Jon Heyman, the Blue Jays have no plans to trade big pieces like Josh Donaldson, Roberto Osuna, Marcus Stroman, Kevin Pillar, or Aaron Sanchez according to the same club source. The team would need to be “completely overwhelmed by players with multiple years of control” in order to move any of those players. The team has had scouts on assignments across baseball in the past few weeks, and that will continue until the July 31st deadline and even after it. Because of this, anytime you read “Blue Jays are scouting Player X,” take it with a grain of salt as the Blue Jays are scouting virtually everybody in the league to do their due diligence.

There goes my theory, Org, lol.

1. Jose Bautista ® RF 2. Josh Donaldson ® 3B 3. Justin Smoak (S) 1B 4. Kendrys Morales (S) DH 5. Steve Pearce ® LF 6. Troy Tulowitzki ® SS 7. Miguel Montero (L) C 8. Kevin Pillar ® CF 9. Ryan Goins (L) 2B

He's already changed dramatically since last season, same goes for Bo.

He and Alford dropped do to injury, we'll see what it looks like in February.
