While the Toronto Blue Jays have been playing some red-hot baseball as of late, Saturday's loss to the Minnesota Twins was a painful example of the lack of pitching depth this club has on hand. Both Adam Cimber and Mitch White imploded on the mound, leading to many calling for their removal from the club. In actual roster news, the Blue Jays recalled Thomas Hatch and optioned Bowden Francis, who pitched 2.2 innings of one run ball on Saturday.
Probable starting pitchers
- For the Blue Jays, staff ace Kevin Gausman is set to take the mound for the 14th time this year. The 32-year-old is putting up career-high numbers in nearly all categories, as he is 5-3 with a 2.63 ERA, 2.28 FIP and 155 ERA+ through 82 innings. He remains the only starter on the staff that can be relied upon every single start to keep the Jays in the ballgame and is fresh off of two straight 11+ strikeout outings.
- Right-hander Louie Varland is set to make his ninth start of the year and second against the Blue Jays. The 25-year-old is 3-2 with a 4.40 ERA, 5.27 FIP and 96 ERA+ through 47 innings of work in 2023. His last start against the Jays came on May 26 when he went six innings, allowing seven hits and three runs in a 3-1 Twins loss.
