The Toronto Blue Jays are expected to make some minor tweaks to their ALCS roster from the one they used in the ALDS against Texas.
Manager John Gibbons was forced to exercise caution in round one due to the uncertain health of Roberto Osuna in the back end of his bullpen, but with Osuna, Devon Travis, and Francisco Liriano all at least trending in the right direction, Toronto’s ALCS offering should be closer to their “best” 25.
Here is how I project the roster to shake out:
Catcher (2) – Russell Martin, Dioner Navarro
Martin is the Blue Jays’ obvious everyday starter, but Navarro is not entirely out of the picture for a pinch-hit appearance at some point in the series.
