The Blue Jays have been in a slump as of late, dropping four of their last five games including two defeats to the Angels on Thursday and Friday. Toronto has also had to make several line-up changes recently, including Lourdes Gurriel Jr. heading to the COVID-related injured list today with vaccine side effects.
