My last two recaps have come at the start of home stands. Thank you to our managing editor Danny Russell for allowing me to recap the start of a road trip, where the magic will happen this season.
Before the game, we learned that Yandy Diaz would not be accompanying the team to Toronto because of a passport issue. He will rejoin the team in Miami before their series against the Marlins. Brandon Lowe slotted in as the DH, and Jose Caballero got the start at second base. Shane Baz took the mound for the opener against the Blue Jays, facing off against Jose Berrios.
