NEW YORK -- Only seven players who were with the Toronto Blue Jays for their second straight American League Championship Series appearance in 2016 remain on their active roster.
Another member of the 2016 team is in the opposing clubhouse and will be the next starting pitcher that Toronto faces.
J.A. Happ will start for the New York Yankees against the Blue Jays for the first time since last month's trade Sunday afternoon when the AL East teams conclude their three-game series.
Because of injuries, trades and departures via free agency, the only remaining players from Toronto's run to the ALCS are Russell Martin, Kevin Pillar, Devon Travis, Justin Smoak, Marcus Stroman, Marco Estrada and Joe Biagini.
