Toronto Blue Jays probable pitchers & starting lineups vs. Tampa Bay Rays, May 25

After Wednesday evening's loss in which the game wasn't the only thing lost, Alejandro Kirk is suddenly the only true catcher available on the Blue Jays' active roster. With Danny Jansen leaving the game with groin tightness, Tyler Heineman is up from Triple-A on the taxi squad. The Blue Jays enter the day with the opportunity to split the four-game series against the red-hot Rays, who remain atop the AL East division.

Probable starting pitchers

• For the Blue Jays, Alek Manoah is set to make his 11th start of the 2023 season. The right-hander has been, to put it lightly, full of ups and downs to start the year. He was off to a nice start in his last outing against the Orioles before John Schneider mistakenly visited the mound a second time in the same inning, effectively removing Manoah from the game thanks to MLB's rules. On the year, Manoah is 1-4 with a 5.15 ERA, 6.26 FIP and 81 ERA+.

• Zach Eflin, a notorious innings-eater, is going to take the mound for the Rays. The 29-year-old represented the biggest offseason signing for the club and has been off to a nice start. Through eight starts and 47 innings, he is 6-1 with a 3.45 ERA, 3.66 FIP and 117 ERA+.
