<p>There it is! J.A. Happ will be Toronto&#8217;s starter against the Reds. He&#8217;s been out since mid-April with elbow inflammation and has only made one rehab start, so we&#8217;ll see how this goes! Gibby hasn&#8217;t said what Happ&#8217;s pitch limit will be, but I imagine Happ won&#8217;t be going longer than four or five innings. The Jays also haven&#8217;t announced who will be removed from the 25-man roster for Happ.</p>
