The Oakland A's have announced that Dallas Braden will be moved back to start against the Jays on Wednesday, as Brandon McCarthy will be moved up to start on Tuesday. McCarthy will oppose Jays No.4 pitcher Jo-Jo Reyes as the series gets underway on Tuesday night.Rajai Davis is set to return to the line-up to face his for teammates, after he turned his ankle on opening night.
The Jays might have started there season last Friday, but the minor league affiliates have yet to start the 2011 campaign. The Las Vegas 51's, the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, and the Dunedin Blue Jays are all playing there first games this upcoming Thursday, the 7th.The other 4 minor league affiliates do not start for a while, and all of the players on those teams will stay at the Bobby Mattick Training Centre in Dunedin, Florida for extended spring training. After extended spring training, the BlueField Blue Jays, and the Vancouver Canadians will begin there first year as Blue Jays affiliates.
It seems that the ankle injury that Rajai Davis got , was due to poor turf placement after a recent motorcross event. Do you think that Rogers Centre could improve their grounds crew installation to help protect our players? Hope he returns with a vengance tonight
ReplyDeleteThe ground crew had nothing to do with the injury, it was some niks in the turf, they are in the processe of fixing those little cracks in the turf. All the players said that the damage is only by first base, so it should be fixed in no time.
