Santiago Espinal should be ready for the playoffs

He could even return on Wednesday, but nothing is certain. He begins to strike more regularly.

Santiago Espinal hitting off the machine today and tomorrow, live BP on Tuesday in Baltimore, and if all goes well, Blue Jays could activate him afterwards. Sounds like he’ll be ready for wild-card series.

Matt Carpenter will not return this week

He was placed on the 60-day injured list, but will be eligible to return to the playoffs. Will he be ready, though?

Matt Carpenter was transferred to the 60-day IL. Mathematically means that he is no longer eligible to play the 4-game series vs the Rangers in Arlington Mon-Wed. Since the ALDS starts Oct. 11, and injury was Aug. 9, he would be postseason-eligible. https://t.co/4xq3czviAA

The Blue Jays rotation for the end of the season

Jose Berrios, Mitch White… and someone (maybe Yusei Kikuchi) will be on the mound.

Tea #BlueJays announced ~some~ of the starters for their final series of the season in Baltimore:

MON: José Berríos vs RHP Dean Kremer
KILLS: Mitch White vs RHP Mike Baumann
WED: TBA vs. TBA

Sounds unlikely Manoah will pitch 162. Kikuchi is an option.
