Toronto Blue Jays pitchers & starting lineups vs. Kansas City Royals, April 23

After Monday night's victory over the Kansas City Royals, the Toronto Blue Jays enter Tuesday's action with a chance to move into third place in the AL East. At 13-10, the club is currently tied with the Red Sox for the spot. The Royals were heavily tabbed as afterthoughts entering the 2024 campaign, but their red-hot start has changed how many around the game view their legitimacy.

Probable starting pitchers

For the Blue Jays, Kevin Gausman is going to take the mound for his fifth start of the season. The 33-year-old has a ghastly 8.16 ERA on the year but that's largely thanks to a pair of ugly starts sandwiched in between a solid first outing on Mar. 31 and another on Apr. 17. He's slowly starting to look more like himself, which is a welcomed sign since the Blue Jays are getting the exact opposite from Kevin Kiermaier and George Springer.

Michael Wacha is who the Royals will counter with. The 32-year-old has four starts under his belt with his new club and has looked sharp so far. Across 24 innings of work, the right-hander has a 3.75 ERA and 3.26 FIP with 21 strikeouts and six walks. He gives the Royals a much-needed veteran presence who excels when it comes to eating innings and mentoring the younger players.
