The Blue Jays have a new infielder in Brandon Drury (.561 OPS), who came over from the New York Yankees in a package for starting pitcher JA Happ. They also dealt reliever Seung-hwan Oh to the Colorado Rockies for a pair of minor-leaguers. Depth will be an issue going forward for the injury-plagued Jays, but Marcus Stroman (5.20 ERA) has regained his form of late, and he’ll start for Toronto on Wednesday – if he’s still with the team.
Oakland have bolstered their lineup as they try to chase down the Seattle Mariners for the last Wild Card berth in the American League. Former New York Mets closer Jeurys Familia (2.56 ERA) will act as a potential set-up man for Wednesday’s projected starter, Sean Manaea (3.46 ERA), who hasn’t allowed more than three earned runs in a game since late May. Seven of his last nine appearances were quality starts.
MLB Odds: Jays Visit A’s With a Fresh Look
The Toronto Blue Jays (48-56, minus-8.14 units) have already been busy ahead of Tuesday’s non-waiver trade deadline, and they could make even more changes before they visit the Oakland Athletics (61-46, plus-20.42 units) on Wednesday. First pitch is at 3:35 PM ET on Sportsnet.
If he’s still on the roster by then, Marcus Stroman (5.20 ERA) will start for the Jays, while Sean Manaea (3.46 ERA) is expected to throw for Oakland. The A’s have also acquired reliever Jeurys Familia (2.56 ERA) from the New York Mets as they try to nail down the second AL Wild Card berth.
