The Orioles bounced back from losing three of four in Toronto by taking two of three at home against Boston. Their 38-27 record puts them one game ahead of the Red Sox and two ahead of the Blue Jays in the American League East. The walking wounded for the O's include reliever Darren O'Day, catcher Caleb Joseph and shortstop J.J. Hardy though Hardy may be back this weekend.
The Blue Jays improved to 38-31 on the season after taking three of four from the Phillies in their home and home set as well as winning three of four from the Orioles last weekend at the Dome. However, the Jays will be without Jose Bautista for the next little while. He was put on the 15-day disabled list with a toe injury suffering during the series finale last night in Philadelphia. Darrell Ceciliani has been summoned from Triple-A Buffalo.
On the positive side, the Jays have signed first-round pick T.J. Zeuch and 23 other players taken in the 2016 draft. There is also a chance Troy Tulowitzki may rejoin the club at some point this weekend after a quadriceps injury. The Jays will also have a couple of days off next week, Monday and Thursday but Baltimore has to travel to Texas to play the Rangers for a make-up game Monday before coming back home to play San Diego.
