<p>The Blue Jays released Jarrod Saltalamachhia today, meaning I took a stab at typing his name and didn&#8217;t bother checking to see if it was right. Luke Maile was called up, and will get a chance to make an impact immediately, as he&#8217;ll be in the lineup tonight, against his old team nonetheless.</p>

<p>News that is neither good nor bad! Both Donaldson and Tulo will head to Florida this weekend for rehab, hopefully they&#8217;re back soon, obviously.</p>

<p>Yaaaaaaaaaaaas! Aaron Sanchez appears to be all good to return on Sunday, which is great! Unless you&#8217;re Casey Lawrence of course.</p>

<p>Speaking of that, Lawrence has been returned to Triple-A, and Matt Dermody has been called up. I imagine Dermody will be going back down after Sanchez is activated Sunday.</p>

<p><strong>Blake Snell: </strong>21 1/3 IP, 3.38 ERA, 6.3 H9, 1.3 HR9, 6.3 BB9, 6.3 SO9</p>
<p>This is the exact pitching matchup we saw back a few weeks ago when the Jays earned their first win of the season. Oh, the good old days, when the team was 1-2, and everything appeared to be fine. Anyways, Snell walks <em>everyone </em>and the Jays, while they aren&#8217;t hitting at all, are still a lineup that knows how take a free pass, so this could bode well for the team.</p>
