Toronto Blue Jays projected ALDS lineup and rotation announced
The Toronto Blue Jays are set to take on the New York Yankees on Saturday and while the official rosters have yet to be announced but certain projections have been announced.
The Yankees ended up taking down the Boston Red Sox last night with a 4-0 win to move onto the ALDS to take on the Blue Jays starting on Saturday afternoon.
Blue Jays projected roster for the ALDS
The Blue Jays have quite a few locks in their lineup with players such as Vladimir Guerrero Jr, George Springer, Alejandro Kirk and a few others.
While some players are locks, others have been struggling and on the bubble such as Max Scherzer who will likely be left off the roster for the ALDS.
The Blue Jays projected lineup for game 1 is quite expected with the only real surprise being Springer at DH with Nathan Lukes in RF and Anthony Santander in left.
Game 1:
1. George Springer, DH
2. Nathan Lukes, RF
3. Vladimir Guerrero Jr., 1B
4. Addison Barger, 3B
5. Alejandro Kirk, C
6. Daulton Varsho, CF
7. Anthony Santander, LF
8. Ernie Clement, 2B
9. Andrés Giménez, SS
