After a day off, we get a Jays’ game again.

I’m mostly curious to watch Eloy Jimenez playing first. I’m thinking it is unlikely he’ll make the Jays out of spring training, but if he were to make the Jays, it would be useful if he can play more than just the corner outfield spots.

Josh Fleming (one m) gets the start. He has pitched in 80 games, 20 starts, over 5 season in the MLB, with a 4.77 ERA. A depth pitcher. He is a lefty and we likely could use some lefty reliever depth.
